NY Radio station mocks victims of tsunami

[Linkster]

I guess one of these days Im gonna have to figure out why fucking people have to be so politically correct? If you cant say what you want, why bother talking - pretty soon the government will be telling us that you have to use "other terms" when referring to any race, creed, color, religion or ethnicity - let alone job description.

I guess I need to get married again so I can have(oops I guess I should say coexist with) a household engineer, and be able to take out the "refuse" for the sanitary engineers every Monday and Thursday - or take a trip to the local jail so I can visit with the "temporarily detained personnel"

Thought this was fantastic:
"Danville, California (December 4, 2004) MetaNewsWire Los Angeles County's insistence on covering over with labels any computer networking protocols that mention master/slave jargon, has been chosen the top example of political correctness in language for 2004 "

"Following closely were non-same sex marriage, for marriage, waitron for waiter or waitress, Red Sox Lover rather than the more aggressive Yankee Hater during the ALCS playoffs, and Higher Power for God, mention of whom is considered too religious by some"

And if youve never read it - Red Riding Hood in todays proper bedtime story books:

That's going in my signature because that's exactly how I feel. It's also the reason I am quiet a lot of the time whether in public or on internet message boards.. Have to be careful with what you say and how you say it because there's always going to be that ONE mother fucker that has a problem with it and it causes shit with everyone else..

We're not too far away from the government doing just that!
