POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RUN AMOK!

The American Family Association recently reported the following story in their publication:


          Tyson Homosexual was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters
          faster than anyone ever has. "It means a lot to me", the 25-year-old
          Homosexual said.


          The runner's name actually was Tyson Gay, but that's how news of
          his race victory was reported by the AFA which has an automatic
          word-replacement program set against the word "gay".


I mean, really?  Haven't we just about reached the limit of the ridiculousness (is that a word?) of political correctness?


We, as a nation, are being treated like a bunch of kindergartners instead of adults.  Remember how we used to spell out words around our children when they were small so they wouldn't know what we were talking about?  Now the PC media watchdogs are doing that to us.  They use euphemisms such as "the n-word" or "the f-word" instead of saying what they really mean.  I don't get it.


I hate the "n-word".  I can hardly bear to say it aloud.  I can hardly bear to write it.  But, when reporting a news story that contains that word, such as the recent story about the rock in front of Governor Perry's fishing cabin with the "n-word" on it, why won't the news readers just go ahead and say it instead of pretending it says something other that what it really says?  Whom are they protecting?  Certainly not their audience.  To be fair, though, if a media person did actually say "nigger" on the air,  that person would be fired so fast they wouldn't be able to get the "er" out of their mouths before being evicted from the premises.  So, of course, they are protecting themselves.


And by the way, why are the only people who are allowed to say the "n-word" are "people of color"?  (Whatever that means.)  Why is it strictly taboo for WASPs to even think the word, much less say it aloud?  Why the hypocrisy?


Then there's the "f-word" or "f-bomb".  Are our psyches so delicate that hearing the actual word would cause us to get the vapors?  Why the pretense?  It's not as if everyone in the world has not heard the word.  If you are a movie goer, you've heard it a million times.


But, maybe I'm just being an "f-word b-word".  Could be.  I've been accused of being an "f-word b-word" a number of times.  (For those of you unfamiliar with PC-speak, "f-word b-word" is actually "fucking bitch".)


The following quote just about sums up the moronic concept of PC:


"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous, mainstream media, which  hold forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
