OT-For our Irish Cousins
PLEASE NOTE THE TERM 'POLITICALLY INCORRECT' IS NOW CONSIDERED
OFFENSIVE TO POLITICIANS: No more brainstorming is allowed at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment in Belfast, Ireland. While staffers maybe, just maybe, will be allowed to think in groups, they can't call it "brainstorming" anymore "on the grounds that it may be deemed pejorative," a DETI spokeswoman says. How's that? The word, they figure, might, just perhaps, be somehow offensive to people with various brain disorders. Employees have been ordered to use the term "thought-shower" instead. (London Observer) ...Sounds reasonable, since apparently several managers there have a brain disorder. "Considering the events of recent years, the world has a long way to go to regain its credibility and reputation with the US." unknown |
