Beaver magazine finds name all wrong for Internet

[naaman fletcher]

Canada's second oldest magazine — the venerable, Winnipeg-based history publication The Beaver — has been forced to change its name after 90 years because the title's inadvertently sexual connotation is getting caught in spam filters and preventing the publisher from reaching a new, life-sustaining generation of readers online.

10. Unfortunately, the new name they chose was "The Hairy Vagina."

17. they shouldn't have changed..

I would think the right to wear a Beaver College sweatshirt and other gear would be half the reason to go there.
