<\/insert>Last Friday, The Rainbow announced that its sixth color, indigo, has been officially removed from all future and current incarnations of itself due to budget constraints. While this announcement affirms a large amount of public speculation, many rainbow-viewers were immensely surprised when the news came. The Rainbow reached the decision to remove indigo after months of arduous discussion in response to financial difficulties. <\/p>\n

Indigo, one of the original colors included in The Rainbow, has long been a subject of dispute among the rainbow community. People<\/delete>Many<\/insert> consider indigo to be a superfluous shade between blue and violet, and cite its overly complicated name and comparatively obscure nature. <\/p>\n

Others are highly offended by indigo\u2019s removal, and have started protests across the world in support of their<\/delete> color. <\/p>\n

<\/delete>\u201cIndigo is a sacred member of the 7<\/delete>seven<\/insert> colors of The Rainbow.

When asked for his thoughts on the situation, resident colorblind person James O\u2019neal said \u201cYou are horrible.
