Yahoo News is carrying an article from the UK on a group's effort to ban "Tintin in the Congo" from bookshelves.

Quoting from the article "The Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) said it "beggared belief" that Borders should sell "Tintin in the Congo", claiming it contained potentially highly offensive material. "This book contains imagery and words of hideous racial prejudice, where the 'savage natives' look like monkeys and talk like imbeciles," a spokeswoman said. "How and why do Borders think that it's okay to peddle such racist material?" The CRE said it was contacted by a Borders customer last month who saw the book on sale in London."
