Apparently referencing "black" as a colour is morally offensive these days, so despite the fact that "Super High Gravity Locations" are holes and coloured black, they are not "Black Holes" as that's offensive.

It's now "Super High Gravity Locations".

Rolls off the tongue, ne?

What are you talking about Willis?

This is not only daft, but completely ruins the name of the Blackholeapault.

White noise @ Boston. Or the "snow" you get on a TV when it is not tuned to a channel.

You guys know this a joke, right? Right? Just checking.

That said, black holes aren't actually holes, they're really ball. Great big black balls. But black holes sounds cooler. :D

Oh, puh-leez! Politicall Correctness is just a slap in the face of day to day miscellany we live by. The space stuff and retelling the nursery rhyme 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' goes way too far. :/
