Hayden Stasven Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 These days political correctness takes it to a new level. I read an email last year that had a disclaimer longer than the message itself. In an attempt at a satirical take on political correctness I've composed an email to send out. It details as follows: I wish you happy holidays! Regards, <censored name> Disclaimer: By opening and/or reading/hearing or responding to this message in a photographic, auditory or otherwise similar sense you understand that when I wish you a happy holidays I am referring to whatever specific events you have or have not chosen to celebrate, that may include, not limiting to, and, or in excess of events such as: the beginning of the new Julian Year cycle; religious events; personal events; and other non-specific celebratory circumstances. I in no way accept any form of responsibility for any actions performed by any individual or organisation that may or may not have been influenced by this message. Disclaimer: This internet forum board post is purely a satirical take on political correctness and is in no way intended to be taken as offensive, derogatory, or demeaning to any individual or organisation. I take no responsibility for lack of interest or humour regarding the preceding post. I take no responsibility for any actions partaken by any individual or organisation that may or may not have been influenced in part or whole by this internet forum post.

tuff_luv_capo Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Political Correctedness has nothing to do with offending anyone, and everything to do with frivolous lawsuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDude5000 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Anybody offended by "Merry Christmas" should probably jump off a f*cking building already. They're probably not even really offended, just attention whore assholes, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Stasven Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Political Correctedness has nothing to do with offending anyone, and everything to do with frivolous lawsuits. Exactly. Is it no longer allowed to set up Christmas trees in public areas in the U.S.? I heard it was but may be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) At this very moment, Bill O'Reilly is probably talking about this same topic as he drunkenly solicits phone sex to one of his female interns. "Come on Luccccyeeee! Don't be an un-american coward like those heathens who say "Happy Holidays" to me at the mall. It's not the f*cking Holidays, Lucy! It's Chistmasssstime. So pleassssse say something dirty to me." At least try to be original. Edited December 22, 2007 by Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDude5000 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I hear it's much worse in the UK..something about immigrants complaining about Christmas decorations in the mall and the decorations got taken down. Pathetic horsesh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Stasven Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 I may not be original in bring this topic to subject, however, I'm intending to start a relatively intellectual subject to steer from the garbage that goes down as conversations around here. Perhaps I should have posted this in the debate section, I didn't think of that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshyft Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 This is bullsh*t. Apparently, "Baa Baa Black Sheep" is particularly offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torcidas Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 This is bullsh*t. Apparently, "Baa Baa Black Sheep" is particularly offensive. Hell, what isn't offensive these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Stasven Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) This is bullsh*t. Apparently, "Baa Baa Black Sheep" is particularly offensive. Here's a recent, and related story: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22738300-2,00.html Edit: That article only covers half of the story, some people are also saying that 'Ho Ho Ho' should be banned because it could be interpreted as offensive to women.

Runey Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Ho Ho Ho should be changed to Bitch Slut Whore. Then it would be really offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathdealer Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Political Correctedness has nothing to do with offending anyone, and everything to do with frivolous lawsuits. Exactly. Is it no longer allowed to set up Christmas trees in public areas in the U.S.? I heard it was but may be mistaken. No, they're everywhere. yeah, but they are called holiday trees now. That article only covers half of the story, some people are also saying that 'Ho Ho Ho' should be banned because it could be interpreted as offensive to women. Not only that but they are trying to make the image of santa to look skinny so that santa won't influence children to eat unhealthy. That is total bullsh*t.

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I know the solution, we need to go back in time and kill Jane Fonda! The funniest political correctness gone mad decision I think was the changing of Fairy Penguins to simply Little Pengiuns in case it might offend homosexuals.

Eviscero Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Why would you wish them happy holidays and refer to holidays they don't celebrate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakorama Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I just say xmas because like in maths the 'x' can be anything Also the 'x' makes it sound cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Stasven Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Why would you wish them happy holidays and refer to holidays they don't celebrate? It's a technicality, if for some reason a person may be offended that they may feel they are being pressured into celebrating a holiday they don't want to. I don't really know how to answer that. @Futurama Freak: Do you also aks people questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) Do you guys not see how nonsensical you are being? It's not the end of the world if someone says 'Happy Holidays' to you. I promise. The fact that you guys actually care makes you all look like a bunch of neurotic lunatics (or a regular Australian, in Hayden's case).
