Politically Correct

Having described myself in the past as politically incorrect, I realized that such a claim would be unsubstantiated unless I could properly define Political correctness. Fortunately, I recently received some information that can do just that, and I decided to share it with you. Political correctness can be defined as anyone who believes the following:

• Kentuckians, Tennesseans, and West Virginians will no longer be referred to as Hillbillies, but as "Appalachian-Americans" instead.
• Bad male dancers will no longer be called so, but will instead be called "Overly Caucasian".
• Men will no longer be referred to as "Getting Lost while driving", but instead be said to be "exploring alternate destinations".
• Women will no longer be called "of easy virtue", but will instead be referred to as "Horizontally Accessible".
• The term "Dumb Blonde" will no longer be acceptable. "Light-haired detour on the information Super Highway" will be used instead.
• Overweight men will no longer be said to have a "Beer Gut". This condition will instead be referred to as a "Liquid Grain Storage Facility Condition".
• You can no longer refer to someone as a "Two Bit Hooker", but must instead refer to them as a "Low Cost Service Provider".
• A man's receding hairline can no longer be referred "Balding", but should instead be referred to as suffering from "Follicle Regression".
• A person no longer has "Their Head Up Their Ass", but instead is suffering from "Cranial / Rectal Inversion".

Go ahead and admit it, you were laughing, weren't you. Are these tasteless? Probably. Are they ridiculous? Perhaps not as much as you think. Is it sad that this is the world we have created with this nonsense? Definitely.
