enough PC nonsense for everyone

If you ever want examples of PC run amok, go read Tongue Tied.

Sometimes the site reads as parody even though it's not. And most times you wish it was.

Students at all-female Smith College in Massachusetts have voted to remove all feminine pronouns from the school constitution and replace them with gender-neutral ones, reports the New Hampshire Gazette.

and..

People attending the meeting will be segregated by scent. Those who never use smelly stuff will sit in one area. Those who sometime wear fragrances but didn’t that particular day will sit in another, and those who forgot and wore something that day will sit in a third.

or..

The Daily Telegraph reports that in Britain the term “brainstorming” is now frowned upon because it might offend people with epilepsy.

Teacher trainees there are apparently being told to avoid the term and instead use something like "word storm" or "thought shower."

Scott does a great job of weeding out the idiotic behavior of PC specialists the world over. Well, his site's motto is Carping about the excesses of clueless crybabies since the turn of the century.

The aggravation quotient is high, but it's good to know these things are going on.

Re: brainstorming into "thought shower" -- how about "synapse bukkake"?

Okay, I will now go sit in the corner.

I thought bukkake was, um, a, er, female organ(one of the more important ones, from a male POV). No?

Oh, allow me...

From the Urban Dictionary:

bukkake - "bu kak ee"

1. noun Variety of fetish that involves repeated ejaculation on a female by many (8 will do) men.

2. verb To ejaculate on something, especially repeatedly

Examples:

1. I think you have a future in bukkake videos.

2. Turn off your stereo or I will bukkake on it.
