You heard it here first.....

Nine days ago, on this very blog, I wrote the following:

"The Shattered Land" originally started as a bedtime story for the author's child. So, for instance, did Richard Adams' "Watership Down" - a book which contains passages of such terror and violence that if anyone read it nowadays, and made a fuss on Facebook, the PC brigade would probably have it banned."

Today, I logged into Facebook and saw this.

I am depressed. Even though it turns out I was right.
