    "Puff the Magic Dragon" (1962) – Peter, Paul and Mary

    "Reason: Drug references
    In 1970, US vice-president Spiro Agnew described rock music as "blatant drug culture propaganda" and warned that it threatened "to sap our national strength unless we move hard and fast to bring it under control." He immediately went on a crusade to ban songs that referred to drugs. This included the children's ditty "Puff the Magic Dragon," which would surely be harmless to anyone for whom it was written. Despite lyrics like "Puff," "dragon," "autumn mist," "little Jackie paper," and... that's it, really... composer Peter Yarrow always protested the song was merely an innocent fantasy, with no hidden meaning."

    I loved that movie as a kid.

    Ketchup has been banned from French schools, so that those little French palates don't get infected with Americanism. Strange how some harmless things can get banned.

    Well duh, it's because they put nasty shit on their fries...like mayo.
    Mayo on fries is better than ketchup. However the only really appropriate toppings for you fries are cheese and gravy.
    I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.

    One of these days I shall try the fries/mayo combo!

    And for the second edit - I hate when I post something I come to regret, for no good reason.

    Empty would've dug it though =)

    And I stand by my mayo declaration.

    Would DS even want to come back if they did allow him back?
    I liked that he posted pictures of his empty beer cans when on a binge (it made me feel like less of a drunk)...and well, he posted pretty much everything else as well.

    Bagpipes are on the list of items banned from Rugby World Cup venues. Poor Scots can't catch a break.

    Totally agree on both counts. I actually crave McD's fries and McChicken sauce sometimes. Luckily my shame keeps my actual going for it down to a minimum, lol.
