Ten Tips to Not Offend People
Ever feel that everything you write or say eventually will offend someone? Here is the humorous side of being politically correct.
1. Always refer to everyone as a “person.” Man, woman or child. A woman should never be referred to as a “child-bearing person”, because this is offensive to those persons who do not bear children. A child should never be referred to as” a smaller person.” This sends the message that the child is inferior due to their size. Also a man should never be referred to as “may eventually get erectile dysfunction person.”

UK to ban electric toothbrush 'sex toys'
Workers in the adult industry have long known that electric toothbrushes make excellent sex toys, but it is only now that the health risks of this shocking tide of self-abuse have been laid bare after we reported the results of a major new survey of British teenagers conducted by the independent market research company, Rabbits R Us, earlier this week.
Thankfully, our socially responsible Government is determined to nip this fashionable 'lovebrush' vice in the bud—or possibly the clitoris—as we discovered when we spoke to junior Health Minister, Geraldine Spottiswoode. Mrs Spottiswoode (44), a mother of two teenage girls who are themselves addicted to this dangerous habit, has tabled an early day motion in the House to restrict the sale of electric toothbrushes to women over forty.
"Why forty?" we asked. "The age of sexual consent in this country is sixteen."
"Because women over forty are basically past it and the ones who aren't are unlikely to get a thrill from shoving a tiny, vibrating toothbrush up their flaccid, furry front bottoms. I tried it twice and still haven't found either of the bloody things!"
"But what's to stop men buying toothbrushes for their teenage girlfriends?" we asked.
"Are you serious?" snorted the minister derisively. "What bloke in his right mind is going to buy his girlfriend something that outperforms his risible little todger and fits inside the smallest handbag?" Workers in the adult industry have long known that electric toothbrushes make excellent sex toys, but it is only now that the health r... more -

Stephen Colbert on White Male Oppression - Esquire
"Who knows? With John McCain as our ghostly white beacon to guide us, we may finally re-reach that mountaintop, walk into one of the two Starbucks up there, order a half-caf (maybe an almond croissant), and proudly proclaim,
“Free at last, free-er at last, thank God Almighty, we are free-est at last!”"
While Colbert is obviously being satirical, there are many who claim white male oppression.

Is Satire Dead?
"The 'New Yorker' controversy: Is satire dead?
Good political satire has always been “tricky,” said Leonard Pitts Jr. in The Miami Herald. It “seeks truth in ridiculousness,” and maybe that’s why a New Yorker cover cartoon depicting Barack Obama as a Muslim and his wife, Michelle, as an AK-47-packing radical has caused such an uproar. In a political world of stained blue dresses and “swift boat lies,” the absurd has become the ordinary, and satire is now “superfluous.”
Satire is alive and well in America, said Clive Crook in his blog at TheAtlantic.com, but it’s “supposed to be funny.” The New Yorker’s editor, David Remnick, said the drawing was meant to reduce a “certain idiotic view of Barack Obama and his wife to a comical absurdity,” but all it did was say what that view was. The punchline was missing.
No, Republicans and Democrats alike are just mad because they think the yokels in “fly-over country” won’t get the joke, said Timothy Egan in The New York Times. But not everyone outside Manhattan is “a rube just off the hay truck” who will see the drawing as proof that all the Internet rumors about Obama are true. “Irony, it turns out, does cross the Hudson River.”
And so what if some satire does go over the heads of a few people? said Kathleen Parker in National Review Online. Does that mean we’re supposed to “sanitize” it to protect the masses? No, “unsophisticated yahoos, to the extent they really are, pose a lesser threat to the nation than an elitist intelligentsia convinced it knows what's best for the rest.”
It isn’t just political correctness that has ruined our national sense of humor, said Tim Rutten in the Los Angeles Times. These days, insults seem to be the only thing we really understand. “Our division into blinkered red and blue camps that's drained humor's salutary bite from our politics.”
This is an opinion piece from The Week, and I posted it because he draws from a few other opinion pieces.
Like it or not, even if you think it's a dead horse by now, this issue says something about art, humor, society and free speech in America today. "The 'New Yorker' controversy: Is satire dead? ... more -
The New Yorker Defends Obama cover
"The editor of the New Yorker on Monday said he has no regrets about running a cover illustration that portrays Barack Obama in Muslim garb and wife Michelle Obama as a gun-toting militant, despite widespread criticism of the image.
"The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Sen. Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement. "But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree."
David Remnick, the longtime editor of the highly-regarded publication, told CNN's "The Situation Room" that he believes the ironic intent of the illustration will be clear to most Americans.
"The idea is to attack lies and misconceptions and distortions about the Obamas and their background and their politics. We've heard all of this nonsense about how they're supposedly insufficiently patriotic or soft on terrorism," the The New Yorker editor said. "
In a way, this cover HAS helped Obama, because he's been able to debunk all of the mythology in one fell swoop- as they say, no press is bad press! "The editor of the New Yorker on Monday said he has no regrets about running a cover illustration that portrays Barack Obama in Muslim... more -

New Yorker Controversal Obama cover
The Cover of the New Yorker is stirring up loads of controversy and debate. The cartoon of Mrs.Obama with an automatic weapon and an afro giving a fist 'pound' to Sen.Obama who is wearing Middle Eastern attire. There is a burning USA flag in the fire and a questionable portrait on the wall. Sen.McCain said the cover was 'totally inappropriate' and Sen.Obama had not commented on the cartoon as of Sunday.
Is this Satire? Some say it's in bad taste, do you agree? Will this make more people think the wrong things about Obama, such as that he is a practicing Muslim? The Cover of the New Yorker is stirring up loads of controversy and debate. The cartoon of Mrs.Obama with an automatic weapon and an a... more -

Berlusconi and oral sex, the Pope and gay devils
Yesterday almost 100,000 people gathered in Rome to protest against the Italian government and "a parliament compelled to make laws that make Berlusconi unpunishable".
During the anti-government rally, two comedians made personal attacks on the Pope, President Giorgio Napolitano and the Minister for Equal Opportunties Mara Carfagna.
Guzzanti provoked the most ire by attacking Pope Benedict XVI, saying that ''in 20 years he'll be dead and he'll go to hell to be tormented by two gay devils''.
She also gave voice to recent rumours about Equal Opportunities Minister Mara Carfagna by alleging that the ex-showgirl had had oral sex with Premier Silvio Berlusconi in return for political promotion.
Grillo meanwhile attacked Napolitano for giving a green light to a government bill that would give legal immunity to Berlusconi.
The two comedians won the crowd's ovations by telling the president to f*** off.
