Thomas the Tank Engine is to join the list of
cartoon characters ruined by Americans alongside
Rupert Bear and
Paddington Bear. The Americans have decided to alter
Thomas the Tank Engine. They have given him a girlfriend called '
lady' and he now travels on a '
Railroad'. It's 'railway' and we all know that the engines are male and the carriages female. Feminism doesn't touch the world of Thomas. Has Thomas abandoned
Annie and
Clarabel, who sing to him so sweetly? What next, will
the fat controller bring out a diet video?
See this web site for the full horror.
