In the future...

When historians look back on the late 90's and early 00's they'll wonder what the hell we were on that made us all go PC mad.

And by PC I don't mean Personal Computer, I mean Politically Correct.

Apparently, and I'm not making this shit up, children in nursery are no longer allowed to sing Baa Baa Black Sheep. They've got to sing Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep.

What the hell is that all about? I'm against racism in all it's forms but this is Political Correctness gone insane. The color black isn't even in the rainbow! As far as I remember the order of the rainbow goes Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet.

To show just how insane this attitude is I'd like to take the next minute of your time pointing out some of the flaws...

• Black Sabbath shall be renamed Colorful Sabbath. [Which kind of takes the fun out of having a deaths-head tattoo and telling your friends you worship Satan.]
• When someone gets punched and suffers a Black eye it will be referred in medical circles as a Colorful Contusion.
• The AC/DC song Back in Black will be renamed Back in Deep Grey.
• The Scottish cake Black Bun will just be called Bun.

And that's just not right. I like Black bun.

But that's not the end of it either. Last week in Herefordshire a shopowner was told to remove three golliwog dolls from his shop window as a passer by made a complaint to the police that they were offensive.

What I fail to understand is how a doll can be termed offensive. Fair enough if the complainee was a citizen of Golliwogia, or whatever country it is that has Golliwogs as inhabitants, I'd support the complaint. But it's plain to me, even with my limited knowledge of geography, that this is horseshit.

Will the police be raiding toy shops up and down the country to seize Cabbage Patch dolls as they're offensive to ugly white people? Or maybe we'll see dawn raids on Hamleys toy store because they stock Troll Dolls and they're offensive to midgets who like punk music and have dyed their hair green.
