NY Has Officially Lost It's Mind Bitch

It’s a Female Dog, or Worse. Or Endearing. And Illegal?

Quote:
The New York City Council, which drew national headlines when it passed a symbolic citywide ban earlier this year on the use of the so-called n-word, has turned its linguistic (and legislative) lance toward a different slur: bitch.

"The term is hateful and deeply sexist, said Councilwoman Darlene Mealy of Brooklyn, who has introduced a measure against the word, saying it creates “a paradigm of shame and indignity” for all women.

Oh that's just silly. Individual words shouldn't be banned.

I hate that in my country it is actually a breach of the peace to say 'fuck' in public. It's a hangup from the Victorians. Very, very rarely acted upon. But I do recall one time a guy got fined £50 for swearing on the street.

If they can't ban it will they require it be spayed?

If you say that, you better make sure they know which spelling you're using.

Definitely up there -- or down there -- with that band of concerned citizens who browbeat a city administration into firing an employee who publicly characterized some undesirable as "niggardly." These incompetents were certain it was a racial slur and would hear no different. Some mules are just made for two-by-fours.

In a way, yes it is a joke. A joke on people so incompetent with a dictionary that they were willing, all unawares, to declare it in public.

A Good Article on this and other instances of people being about as smart as PeTA was about the upstate NY town of Fish Kill.

Although, my local paper (the Daily Mistake) once advertised spade bagel puppies.
