What's in a Name?

Is it just me, or is the Club Penguin community really sensitive about names?


I first started noticing this in September 2009, when the Fall Fair changed its name to simply The Fair, in order to accommodate penguins around the World who were not in the fall season during the party (in other words to make things "fair" - heh, heh).  Many in the community did not like it.

Then, an announcement in December 2009 stirred up more controversy   The Christmas Party would be changing its name to the Holiday Party on account of those who did not celebrate the Christian holiday.  The debate over whether this was right remains hot to this day.

After that, the shocking name announcements took a little vacation.  However they came back home in May 2012, when the June party - the Marvel Superhero Takeover 2012 - was announced.   Some said if it didn't have the Marvel name and logo it would be better.

Flash forward to July 2012 and you'll see the most recent stirrings of this controversial topic.  That was when the annual, beloved Music Jam was transformed into the Ultimate Jam: Make Your Mark party.  Needless to say it wasn't welcomed with open arms by some.
