Come on people, what you're seeing is a inconsequential bike mag. taking an opportunity in the new era of "political correctness," albeit an application of wrongly surmised meaning of a term. And yes, of course, BIG DEAL... so what! What some people have latched onto in this thread is the marriage of the political right Conservatism to the fundamentalism of basic conservative Christian religious trends in America. Who cares! The bicycle in question was originally proposed as the "Doo-doo" but they decided Voo-doo was more acceptable and sounded better. As for Mr. Chu, he is just seizing another opportunity, obviously angry that his name wasn't applied to the bike in question, ultimately calling it Choo-choo. Give me a break! Please give it a rest! Stop the madness. Remember the Apollo moon missions, the Mercury maned space program, Gemini. No one gave a good f.... then (and rightfully so). The mag's editors are idiots and so is Chu.
