[Misc] Shameful capitulation of Scrabble makers Mattel

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Pretty much this. Don't we all allow/disallow words amongst ourselves when we play the game anyway? Do we really need the makers to determine which words are or aren't permitted?

I can't help thinking this is a spoof.

Can you imagine the FA inventing rules of football and insisting they be applied uniformly to every schoolboy 15-a-side kickabout using a tennis ball on a concrete playground with jumpers for goal posts?

I suspect this story has been lifted directly out of an episode of Brass Eye. Tw@t!
