PC World

Hello there people (assuming that more than one poor sod is sitting here reading this text). No, I'm not referring to the Computer superstore (with a hideously irritating jingle), but to the fact that the world is going FUCKING MENTAL. That's a fact. Everything's changing, and (in most cases) in a really bad way. The day I die will be a fucking celebration for me, the way the world is heading. There's no place for meticulous, sparkling grammar, traditional values, law abiding citizens or dry wit any more. I can't help but feel as though this leaves me a tad fucked. But anyway, that's another rant for another day, which I'll carefully wrap up in a box labelled 'Shit', and lob it in the attic. So here we are, PC world. It's a cliche, and I hear it a lot of the time (and often contribute with red faced aggression), but political correctness really has gone mad. Now, in some ways, it's fine. Racism is horrendous, and anything that has a genuine chance of squeezing out the ignorant shits that hold such racist views should be tested. But ultimately, sometime's things do get taken a bit too seriously...when really, a bit of light-heartedness would do no harm at all. Here's just a few examples. You're not allowed to use the phrase 'brainstorm' any more, because it's allegedly offensive towards people with epilepsy. Now, don't get me wrong, epilepsy is certainly no laughing matter. I need to say this before I accidentally say something that may very well cause offence, and that's definitely not something I want to be doing. But I highly doubt that an epileptic person would find it in them to be personally hurt by a term generally used to encourage pupils to work hard. It just doesn't make any sense to me. I find myself saying that things don't make sense to me a hell of a lot right now, but I don't think it's because I've all of a sudden become a bit more retarded. Then again, if I were more retarded, maybe I'd have a good enough reason to get someone to just finish me off now before the world gets any fucking worse. Following on from a school related term that is now deemed potentially offensive, you're now not really supposed to say 'spider diagram' any more. You know, because it's SO offensive to all those arachnophobes out there. Urgh, I'm sure that one of these people that would get offended by the term 'spider diagram' would also get offended by the word 'spider' on it's own...and should we really be told to ban the act of a simple word being said? No I don't fucking think so. Get your act together, pathetic wank stain of a world. Surely it'd be more reasonable to take some form of offence at the term 'bullet point'?! Thousands upon thousands of people must die from bullet wounds every year, including of course in pivotal and massively important historical events such as the two world wars. Now it's a little far-fetched, but I'm sure as hell that it's more reasonable for someone to be mourning a fatally shot loved one, and to be offended by 'bullet point' than for someone to not like spiders, and be offended by 'spider diagram'. It's just moronic. I'm fucking tired and pissed off now, so I should probably go to bed soon. I don't sleep too well anyway, so maybe I should try counting sheep (besides, what with all the Welshness, it'd give me morning glory...)...speaking of sheep, actually. It's not baa baa black sheep any more. No no, it's baa baa rainbow sheep. Yeah, because that kind of sheep bloody exists doesn't it?! Cretins. It's not even a noticeably racist nursery rhyme, until you look into it. And let's be honest, its target market, the pre school kids, won't be able to analyse texts such as baa baa black sheep with any kind of depth or point at all. What a pisstake. Maybe if it was called 'Baa Baa Nigger Sheep' I'd be more understanding...do me a favour, will you, PC world? Fuck off.
