Curious why they decided not to call it "Puppet up," the usual title?

Due to the insensitivity toward Puppet Americans. What's next, a title that makes fun of their spindly little rod arms? Poor little puppets. They need a telethon too.

Seems to be because this is a family friendly version, whereas Puppet Up did the comedy festival rounds and stuff where it's generally an adults only deal.
IN B4 relocated thread!

PC- If you read the article it refers to it as an "adult-themed production". It does say puppet-friendly, not family-friendly.
As the article refers to it as a revamped version of Puppet Up they may have chosen a new title to set it apart. Hard to say really, but it does seem to be the same type of show in most respects... based on our extremely limited knowledge.
