Politically correct fuckwits

[batffink]

How are these for examples of beaurocracy gone mad?

1. The BBC has dropped the use of the terms Before Christ (BC) and Anno Domini (AD) on one of their programmes and decided that the terms 'Before Common Era' / 'Common Era' are more appropriate

2. The European Parliament introduced proposals to outlaw titles stating marital status such as 'Miss' and 'Mrs' so as not to cause offence. It also meant that 'Madame' and 'Mademoiselle', 'Frau' and 'Fraulein' and 'Senora' and 'Senorita' would be banned.

3. Throughout several US councils and organisations, any terms using the word 'man' as a prefix or suffix have been ruled as not being politically correct. 'Manhole' is now referred to as a 'utility' or 'maintenance' hole.

4. Loveable cartoon rogue Dennis the Menace has been given a politically correct make over. BBC chiefs decided to take away his edge in the remake. Gone are his bombs, catapult, water pistol and pea shooter - and in their place is a simple boyish grin.

5. Spotted Dick - a classic English dessert has been renamed to avoid embarrassment. The traditional pud Spotted Dick has been given the title Spotted Richard, after UK council bosses feared the original name might cause offence.

6. A school in Seattle renamed its Easter eggs 'spring spheres' to avoid causing offence to people who did not celebrate Easter.

7. A UK council has banned the term 'brainstorming' – and replaced it with 'thought showers', as local lawmakers thought the term may offend epileptics.

8. A UK recruiter was stunned when her job advert for 'reliable' and 'hard-working' applicants was rejected by the job centre as it could be offensive to unreliable and lazy people.

9. Gillingham fans had begun to fondly offer celery to their goalkeeper, ‘Big Fat’ Jim Stannard. The club, however, decided that celery could result in health and safety issues inside the ground. As a result, fans were subjected to celery searches with the ultimate sanction for possession of celery allegedly being a life ban.’

10. In 2007, Santa Clauses in Sydney, Australia, were banned from saying 'Ho Ho Ho'. Their employer, the recruitment firm Westaff (that supplies hundreds of Santas across Australia), allegedly told all trainees that 'ho ho ho' could frighten children, and be derogatory to women. Why ? Because 'Ho Ho Ho' is too close to the American (not Australian, mind you) slang for prostitute.

11. Some US schools now have a 'holiday tree' every Christmas, rather than a Christmas tree.

The mind fucking boggles. It's obvious these overpaid, underworked plonkers haven't enough to do.

They should be made to put on waders and go and help with some flood relief. Useless cunts. It's the old red tie network, bleeding hearted liberal version!

What's red, and hangs from a cunt?

Anyway, I can top all of the above nonsense. The Environment Agency, a non-governmental cluster fuck organisation, funded by tax payers and currently under fire for its absolute shitness, spent £30 000 sponsoring a Gay Pride event in Birmingham in 2009.

Apparently they did this because they're an equal opportunities employer. A bollocks reason because all employers are required by law to be equal opportunity employers. I'm just puzzled where sponsoring Gay Pride comes into the remit of an organisation set up to manage Britains waterways.

I have a meeting tomorrow with them, think it's going to be an interesting one.

[FuckingRotter]

I hope you punch them all in the cunt.

Apparently, Cornwall has been awarded "regional minority" status. This was on the same day that a Cornishman was reported as having told another Cornishman to "fuck off back to England". Erm. Regional minority? Not in fucking Cornwall they're not.
