Sacrilege in the name of the Queen! What are they going to re-name Big Ben? Big Liz? The people of London (and the rest of the United Kingdom) should riot in the streets, and the castles, over this outrage. Big Ben is a man, with a man's bell-like voice. Will they also change the bell inside to produce a feminine squeak? Shame on Parliament. And shame on the Queen. --------------------- --------------------- London's Big Ben clock tower to be renamed Elizabeth Tower ReutersReuters – 1 hr 6 mins ago LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's landmark Big Ben clock tower adjoining the Houses of Parliament will be renamed "Elizabeth Tower" to mark Queen Elizabeth's 60th year on the throne, a parliamentary official said on Tuesday. The announcement follows four days of celebrations earlier this month to mark the 86-year-old queen's Diamond Jubilee, only the second to be celebrated by a British monarch. "The House of Commons (parliament) commission welcomed the proposal to rename the clock tower Elizabeth Tower in recognition of Her Majesty the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and will arrange for this decision to be implemented in an appropriate manner in due course," a House of Commons spokesman said. The ornate, 96-metre high neo-Gothic tower features four gilded clockfaces, and was completed in 1859. The tower took its name Big Ben from the giant bell inside, which chimes the famous bongs heard around London's Whitehall government district. "I think it is a fitting tribute to the Queen and the service she has given to our country in this jubilee year," Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesman quoted the prime minister as saying.

http://www.amazon.com/Big-Ben-Penis-Dild...uction/dp/B007I6Z7GQ On Amazon, in the product description, it says: "Novelty use only." They also say: "Made from phthalate-free PVC. Persons with allergies to latex, PVC, or urethane should not use this product." Does that mean Big Ben is only to be admired visually, but there's a problem if you try to use it otherwise? I never realized how complicated sex could be. | |

I could be in left field on this one but I always thought that Big Ben refered to the clock so renaming the tower won't affect that. The only thing that will change is if someone ask for the location of Big Ben. In that case the people will simply say in Elizabeth Tower as opposed to Big Ben Tower. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Big Ben actually refers to the bells inside the tower but over the years that name has commonly come to mean the tower itself. It dosen't matter what official name they give it, it'll remain Big Ben to everyone except some over-officious twats. Its the same as the Willis tower in Chicago....the what? I hear you say? When I went on vacation to Chicago last year everyone still called it the Sears tower and probably always will. | |

As a Chicagoan, I can verify that statement. No one calls it the Willis Tower, and more than likely no one ever will. | |
