Daniel Dennett’s recent article on skepticism (in the Guardian) was accompanied by what I thought was an amusing editor’s correction:
This article was amended on Thursday 16 July 2009. Moon-landing sceptics were referred to as “loonies”, contrary to the Guardian style guide. This has been corrected.
Prometheus Unbound 
I also found that amusing. I think they’re still loonies we just have to be PC about it…. reality-challenged would work. ^.~

Dean,
Thanks for the link.

There is a fine line between being PC and being impolite. Also, the word “loonie” implies that they have some form of mental illness which may be incorrect.
