Yeah, I don't get it either. The age of consent in Canada is 16 and in the U.S. it actually varies state to state from 16-18. I understand the legal aspect of it, but the moral indignation at the difference between 17 and 18? Like the OP said, the name was conceived when 16 was the age of consent in Holland and it's been around for years ... like the Redskins.
And if people insist on making this a moral issue, full disclosure: I'm muslim. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) took a child bride and consummated that marriage while she was still a child. And the Holy Prophet (may the blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) was the most moral man who ever lived. You're not saying he was a pedophile are you?
..aaaand this is the person sticking up for you in this thread. Nuff said. Not coming back here again. smh and shame on you.
