Fox News reports on several outrageous examples of Political Correctness. Among them are renaming of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and renaming "unsportsmanlike" conduct to "unsportslike" so as not to "offend" any female athletes. I guess that when female athletes are called for a foul, they want credit where credit is due.
Another fowl story has PETA complaining about chickens being forced to play Tic Tac Toe. They are upset because it is "demeaning" to the chicken. I have two thoughts on this. First, I would think it would be demeaning to the human opponent, especially if the chicken wins. Second, I think that even PETA would think it is less "demeaning" than serving up that chicken with a side of mashed taters and gravy.
All this chicken talk has made me hungry for some KFC. Thanks to PETA for the lunch idea.
