Because Redskins was a great team name....
:Yawn:

Definitely a terrible name that needed to be changed.  The Seuss books I still don’t agree with.  Maybe they could have had a disclaimer in the beginning of the book. If I can buy mein kampf on Amazon then I should be able to buy all the Seuss books.  Just my humble .02.  

Or the Turner Diaries...

Or the Turner Diaries...

Or The Anarchist Cookbook.

Weird how the folks who control the rights to those don't seem to mind those messages being out there....

Last I checked though, Amazon didn’t ban those books, the Seuss estate decided to stop publishing them, which is their right. 

If Nirvana, or Geffen or whomever owns the rights to In Utero decided to pull “Rape Me” from streaming services & remove it from future copies of the album, wouldn’t that be their prerogative? You could argue over whether or not Cobain would agree with it, but those who own the rights can do what they want. 

Ironically enough, there’s a case to be made that Geisel would have been in favor of modifying the 6 books, as he had done before (see one of my previous posts), but since he’s passed, you can’t really go changing it now.

i don't think it is that weird. if someone can monetize something they probably will.

in the turner diaries case, like haters, racists gonna hate.

Apologies, there's no facetious smiley, just in case anyone else here thought I seriously thought it weird that evil is as evil does.

Wal Mart labeled the song "Waif me".

Haha, that’s right! I forgot about that. 

I’d never heard that.

Remember when the Stones had to change their live-sung lyrics to “let’s spend some time together”?

In a similar vein, Nirvana has an In Utero-era B-side on a soundtrack called The Beavis and Butthead Experience entitled "I Hate Myself and Want To Die." On the Walmart version of the soundtrack, it was titled "I Love Myself and Want To Hug You."
