Snow White and who?

PANTOS of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs are being censored — to outlaw the word DWARF.
A shocked village drama group sent off for a script and found Dopey and his pals — played by kids — had to be called “gnomes” instead.
Ray Lionet, 73, of the Coxheath Players in Kent, said the ban was to avoid offending short people. He said: “It’s madness.” Why not go the whole darned hog and called it “Snow White and the Seven Vertically Challenged Male People”.
So I was wondering with all our thespians on this board what other pantos could we change the name of in order to be pc, who would Jack and the Beanstalk offend?

I'm quite sure that someone out there would be offended by it, mainly the vegetarians of this world.

If they are going to do it right then it should not be Snow WHITE should it

What about beauty and the beast, the ugly beggers would no doubt moan.

For goodness sake!!!!! I'm sure that the people who come up with these things are doing it merely to make life as difficult as possible for everyone else, and suck all of the fun out of life....

Maybe the powers that be will censor all of our pantomimes.

Widow Tw@nkee will definitely have to go....

I once chucked one 7ft 11" in an Anglo-Australian Dwarf Throwing contest. England lost, unfortunatly.

Perhaps we should update some more of them - my apologies, this is to get people started

Ali Baba and the 40 ASBOs
Beauty and the facially challenged creature
Parent or Guardian Goose

I did have a rude one for Dick Whittington but perhaps best not post it.

I feel I must protest, 48 weeks of the year I and the rest of my vertically challanged mates, (wingy, mick, Garinda and I (Oh, rindy don't start moaning I only mentioned you so that you won't feel left out!)), suffer the ridicule that the rest of you force upon us.

Christmas time is not only the time when we find employment but, we also begin to feel loved! The joy we get from children (and adults wearing brownie uniforms) when rindy comes on stage and they warn us, "he's behind you!".

Please, Please, don't take this away from us we don't want to be P.C. we just want to be LOVED.

The dwarfs shown might not be depicted in order.

If you've never given and received the innocent joy that can be gained from children then you are not going to become one of Snow Whites magnificent seven!!!!!!!!

I cant believe its come to this, I'm sure dwarfs dont mind being called that because thats what they are, the PC brigade must sit around a table all day and think what can they spoil next.

snow white lost her appeal for unfair dismissal today after a judge declared it unfair to sack her for been silly, grumpy turned the case around by correcting the judge and stated that she had not been sacked for been silly but had infact been sacked because she was ****ing dopey

A few years ago when my late husband, Peter, was still alive we did a sort of a panto based on several fairy tales but with a twist. It was all set in a courtroom. Goldilocks was on trial for breaking and entering and criminal damage. The dwarfs had been charged with kidnap and slavery. The three little piggies were contesting the order to demolish the brick house as they hadn't applied for planning permission. You get the idea?

Peter played one of the dwarfs............he had the beard for it. He was also over 6 ft tall so was described as a vertically challenged dwarf.
