Brainstorming vs Polical Correctness
Permalink  

Hmm.


Political correctness is a wonderful thing. 


Apparently it is now offensive to refer to brainstorming as brainstorming because people with epilepsy and brain disorders might find it offensive.


I wonder if they actually asked any of the affected people whether they found it offensive.  And maybe if they did find it offensive, told them not to be so damn stoopid.


I notice at the end of the article, I'm not allowed to nit-pick or use manila envelopes any more either.


Dammit.

My brother is an epilieptic. Something we have often dealt with using a large dose of humour.

Now I have something else to try to razz him with. Although I sincerely doubt he'll even have any idea what I'm talking about. He might even get the incorrect impression that I am complimenting his intelligence. Because he doesn't have any. Cuz he's my stupid brother.

Calling him a walking radio and trying to tune in stations while he was wearing a walking EEG was much more effective

Hah!  Excellent work, my colonial friend.  Did you manage to get FM or is he one of the cheap nasty models that only gets AM and MW and turns yellow after a couple of months?

All I managed to get out of him was the really annoying "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!' station.

Thankfully she thought it was funny too. That was almost 10 years ago and we STILL get a giggle.

Damn PC ness - I find it offensive for people to be so PC so can they all please stop it now!


No one cares when people call me a goofy gimpy four eyed twig (usually because they spend most of the time afterwards picking up their teeth - now i'm a lot bigger) - but I dont care either - because I know I am better than the vast majority of the plebs on this pissant little planet!


JDK was a big tubby fat git - who ate too many pies - and I was right to mock him! (publicly) after all the mocking made him do some excersise and now he is much better - there - an example of it doing some good!


God ranting is great...
