    Default Political Correctness run amok

    I was just talking with an old college friend and we were discussing their new kid and such. Well the conversation went to christmas in the NW and how she and her husband and child went to see the christmas lights and the snowpeople. I said what are snowpeople. She said, you know, the people made of snow. I said, oh, a snowman. She said no, they are snowpersons or snowpeople because it is offensive to women.

    I said they aren't real, they don't have feelings. She then said, yeah, but it is the correct thing to say. Hmmm, hmmm...

    I am a woman and I don't find it offensive. Ridiculous!!

    A snowman is a snowman and a snowwoman is a snowwoman, based on where the veggies are placed! LOL!!!

    I guess they can't sing frosty the snowman where she's from.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    You are discriminating against all other life forms. That will be "snow entities" from now on, thankyouverymuch.

    The real crime committed by a snowman is that he's white. Now THAT is not PC.

    I try to offend at least one person per day. My mission in life is to get them in touch with their inner feelings.

    Can we still say "It's colder than a Witches tit in a brass bra"?

    Can we still make "Snow Angels"?

    What about "Snow Balls"?
