delboy Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 More than 150,000 of public money has been spent teaching civil servants to avoid using everyday words such as 'bedlam','manila' and 'bulldozer'. The words were outlawed by the Welsh Development Agency because they are considered racially abusive. The Government-funded body, which promotes business in the principality, and two other quangoes sent staff on courses to improve their awareness. Unsuitable phrases include 'bedlam' - a reference to England's first lunatic asylum - and 'Dutch courage', which might imply that people from Holland become brave only after a drink.Staff dare not say brainstorming, in case it insults the mentally ill, ormanila - a word once which meant 'a bangle used to buy slaves' but now refers to a colour for envelopes. Bulldozer (a man employed to beat slaves), poll tax (the US system which prevented blacks from voting) and nit-picking (the examination of slaves' hair for lice) are also forbidden.

ca_gere Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 This thread is ace.here's a few more Viz lettersThese politically correct bonfire nights have gone too far. It used to be penny for the guy when I was young. These days it's probably penny for the gay.Richard Littlejohn, WappingFollowing the death of Bernard Manning, the PC brigade have come out of the woodwork to call the man a racist. For my money, all he ever did was try to make people laugh. And if you can't spend forty years heaping poisonous, four letter abuse on members of ethnic minorities without being labelled a racist, it's a sorry state of affairs.Austin Cambridge, OxfordLondoner Charles Nylon has this reflection to offer concerning the nature of terrorism:These suicide bombers really get my goat. What an evil way to kill innocent people, running screaming into a crowded place like madmen, blowing themselves and everyone else to bits. Whatever happened to good old-fashioned gentlemen terrorists like the IRA, whod quietly pop a nail bomb under a pub table and leave without making a song and dance about it.But Bamber Ross of Ross ripostes:Mr Nylon (above letter) does not know what he is talking about. Gentlemen terrorists, indeed. When you get stang off a wasp, it just flies off to sting again and again in the style of the IRA bombers that Mr Nylon so admires. However, when a bee stings, it pulls its arse inside out and, like a suicide bomber, dies. And I think we all agree that bees are much nicer than wasps.But Prof. J. Shiels of the Dept of Entomology, Maudling College, Oxford, rejects this bee/wasp metaphor in no uncertain terms:Im afraid Mr Rosss insect/terrorist analogy (above letter) doesnt hold water. The reason that we agree that bees are nicer than wasps is nothing at all to do with their stringing ability. It is because bees are furry, like little black and orange flying teddy bears that make jam. Wasps on the other hand are all hard and have them Darth Vader faces. And they chase you when you run off.I read with interest that the RAF have decided to replace the nude paintings of popular tit models like Lucy Pinder and Michelle Marsh on the side of their bombers with plain silhouettes for fear of offending the thousands of Muslims they are currently bombing the shit out of. I wholeheartedly applaud this display of sensitivity to another culture.Peter Roethone of my favourites..Tony Blair took us into an illegal war on the misconception that Iraq had acquired weapons of mass destruction. The number of troops killed has reached over a hundred, and the number of Iraqi civillions killed does not bear thinking about. Even today with the war officially over, soldiers and civilians are being killed on a daily basis by insurgents. A lifelong, Labour voter, I vowed never to vote for Tony Blair or the governments he represents ever again after his scandal-ridden premiership. But when he did that 'am I bovvered' sketch with Catherine Tait on Comic Relief night, I screamed with laughter. Well done, Tony, you've got my vote back.Frank Mint, Tynedale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how this dumb bitch managed to reach that conclusion when no-one had fucking complained about it in the first place. Anyone who takes a bingo call literally is a moron.
