Dam nuisance: Porn spam filters force the Beaver to change name

It is with regret that Monkey records the passing of another venerable title that has succumbed to the forces of the internet. The Beaver – a magazine devoted to Canadian history – is to be renamed after falling foul of email spam filters, reports France24 . The Winnipeg-based publication began life in 1920, when its title, according to publisher Deborah Morrison, was free of lurid undertones. "Nearly a century ago, it probably seemed the perfect name for a magazine about the fur trade and Canada's north-west frontier. There was only one interpretation for the word then," said Morrison. The Beaver will, after the February/March issue, be known as Canada's History. Here's hoping Casino Hair Loss Nigerian Pyramid Scheme Viagra Monthly – a coffee-table favourite chez Monkey – doesn't suffer a similar fate.
