The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

I am one of those people who believes any individual who tries to get words like ‘Blackboard’, ‘Black Cab’ and/or ‘Christmas’ banned [because they feel they are racial or religiously prejudice] are actually uber-racists.

Sure, in the mouths of some people, these words could take on an aggressive, racist meaning, but in the mouths of ‘those people’, every word takes on an aggressive, racist meaning.

Of course there are some racially ambiguous words that had to go [the ‘character’ from Robinsons Jam is a perfect example] but trying to change the name of a ‘Blackboard’ is – as Jill loves to say – “Political Correctness Gone Mad”.

So why am I saying all this?

Because even though I questioning how appropriate it is to use a young looking girl in an ad with the word YES on it, I am not a perv. Honest.

What’s worse [or better, depending on how you look at it] … it was Jill who first brought the ad to my attention.

Phew … just thought I’d say that as my supposed ‘friends’, Andy, George, Paul and Jay have all been inundating my email and phone with messages of being the new ‘Gary Glitter’.

Cheeky sods.

I think the racism thing is very true. There is more racism in the people who say “you shouldn’t sing Baa Baa Black Sheep” than the people who don’t even notice there is a problem.

A thousand apologies! But you cannot be going on making fun about the Indians and get away with it. I will have to make this point and hope it hits you on the head like a Malcom Marshall bouncer! Ok, now while on the original topic of the girl, it’s stupid of people to think that you have a dirty mind because you think that way (you do. But that’s due to other reasons) It just tries to avoid the fact that sex has become all too pervasive in media today. And slowly but surely all forms of deviant sexual behaviour is being allowed to become mainstream either with help from Shrinks (Who blame genetics for everything from being gay to blog writing) or the ‘intellectual’ elite who declare anyone with a moral compass is a being of limited intelligence.

Are you working for Bush to start a race war? Hari … that’s the best career limiting move I’ve seen. Well done mate, and Arun, you’re a journo which means you’re more prejudiced and poisonous than the KKK. Still, you made me laugh which makes a change.
