unbibiumI watched a Cracked video discussion of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and realized something about its internationalization.
In the UK they were called "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" because "Ninja" was a violent and subversive concept. However, they didn't bother to change "turtle", which in the UK refers only to sea turtles, to "tortoise".
