And we thought Creationism was ridiculous

*Sigh*
ADMIRAL NELSON saw off the mighty Franco-Spanish fleet at the battle of Trafalgar, but 200 years on, he has been sunk by a wave of political correctness.

Organisers of a re-enactment to mark the bicentenary of the battle next month have decided it should be between "a Red Fleet and a Blue Fleet" not British and French/Spanish forces.
So pretty much, if there's anything in history than can be considered vaguely offensive to anyone (be that evolution, or military victories) we must immediately re-write it and dumb-it-down so as not to offend and risk lawsuit.
