    You're not allowed to call them "Thieving Gypsy Bastards" either

    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viz_(comic)

Viz then later ran a short strip called "The Nice, Honest Gypsies", featuring a kindly Gypsy woman selling pegs door-to-door and helpfully returning forgotten change.

    I jiust clicked on your link to Wikipedia and all I got was this message: Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Emma Freud. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted.

    What about "New Age, traveling, thieving, bar-stewards" then? Is that allowed?
