Doesn't Robin Hood glorify armed robbery and knife crime, I'm sure that offends someone, somewhere? Like Lady P I find the viel used by some women highly offensive but I'm sure I'd be in trouble if I suggested they be removed. Being offended (intentionally or otherwise) is part of life but I believe that it only matters if that offence was deliberate.

As someone who plays for a border team that "black up" using black, light blue, dark blue, silver and sparkle artistically combined into pretty patterns (we were at straw bear but I was ill so couldn't go:-( ) can I add that in my experience the amount of disguise is highly dependent on the colour. The greater the difference between the skin colour and the paint the better the disguise. For white people black is by far the best disguise and others much less so until you get to white or silver which just makes you look ill. So in general I'd say that black is the only suitable colour for disguise for white skinned folks (and would be interested if white is the most effective for dark skinned).
