At the beginning of the month, we ran this story about DC Comics subscribers being denied a copy of Detective Comics #27.

In the UK, it is a serious insult referring to someone being disabled. Not long ago, we reported on a Transformers character being named Spastic, and how the name was changed not only in the UK, but the rest of the world after some outcry.
