In order to not offend anyone, from now on the star nicknamed "Eskimo Nebula" will now be refereed to only as NGC 2392 and the galaxy pair nicknamed “Siamese Twins Galaxy” will now only be known as NGC 4567 and NGC 4568.
This is getting ridiculous.

Yes, it's retarded, but
do we really need about another thread bitching about political correctness gone mad?
The last one got out of controlled and was eventually locked.
