Political correctness

This, from TK, was in my inbox today and, as a definition of 'political correctness' I think it would be hard to beat.
There's an annual contest at the Griffiths University, Australia, 
calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.

This year's term was 'political correctness'.

The winning student wrote:

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, 
illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by mainstream media, which 
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a 
piece of shit by the clean end. 

Don't you agree?

I may be wrong but I think I detect a smidgeon of annoyance in that definition. Very good.

Oh how I detest PC. I try to be as non-PC as often as possible.

Me too, Cro!

That was very sharp of you, YP. It is so difficult to detect! ;)

Hahaha! Very good. Not a very PC definition of PC.

Jennytc said...

Indeed, Katherine. ;)

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
