    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Of all the examples held up of crass American consumerism and at the same time ignorance, this one takes the cake. There are a lot of criticisms I take offense to with regards to my nation and fellow citizens. Unfortunately, this just makes us look bad on several fronts, and is inexcusable. The only thing for which I can hope is that we determine the reason for the misspelling is that the toy was designed & manufactured overseas (such as Mexico or China) by someone with only a passing familiarity with the English language. I would hope that the majority of my countrymen, particularly captains of the toy industry, would know the difference between 'whales' and 'Wales', but sadly I'm afraid I would not make book on it.

    Don,

    I fear that your countrymen do not realise that you must be immense to be any member of the royal family of whales. It's very sad.

    Sick....And....Wrong
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    How odd.

    I'd advise the people who marketed it to stay away from pubs in the valleys for a while. Not that any sane person would go in one anyway.

    Well, I still hang my head in embarrassment that this product holds an American trademark number. And Doc Bean, all frowns aside, I did see the humor in light of at least a minor sub-portion of this thread being about grammatical/spelling errors. I was just trying to play along. There was actually a young adult fantasy book I never read but meant to that was highlighted in my school library (oh, musta been ~1980) titled The Prince of Whales, and if I remember the book jacket properly, supposedly there was a psychic bond of some sort between the rightful heir to the throne (which was an ordinary boy, NOT Charlie) and the son of the head of a pod of humpbacks. Must have been crap though, because knowing what I know now, humpbacks don't school and therefore, don't have a king, or a prince for that matter.

    But with its strangely disjointed ankles, garish make-up and unconvincing hair, it bears little resemblance to the late princess
    Hey I thought they had at least got that part right , despite the spelling mistakes in her title .
    Now if they can add brainless and patronising to the features they will have it down perfect .

    If you're refering to the night she actually died, I'm fairly sure she was divorced from Charles already by that point.

    I'll gladly take your word for it.

    I'll change it to: Tribesman, you forgot to add 'urging a criminally drunk driver to speeding at 200 km/h in an inner city because you don't want people taking a snapshot of your bad-hair day'.

    Is it still patronizing if you really do believe you are better than they are?

    Never listened to her often enough to know if she used her gray matter or not. Actually, that aspect of her was seldom discussed or even considered relevant in the U.S. entertainment media. All they ever really noted was her "old abandoned minefields are bad" stance -- hardly a position any of us would take exception to.

    Seamus , I am just going on what people who knew her and had dealings with her have told me , basically patrionising , vain , self publicity seeking , oh and as thick as pig excrement
    Of all the British royals these people deal with she is the only one they all slag off , though each to varying degrees are critical of Phillip , Fergie , Edward and Camilla in pretty much that order .

    And yet, for some reason, her death caused the country to go into some kind of collective grief freefall.

    Had nothing against Diana, but I must note that I felt a greater sense of loss when Graham Chapman went.
