There Will Be No Affronting Human Dignity!

Coming soon to an EU near you!!

Advertisements that affront "human dignity" by demeaning women would be prohibited under proposals being drafted by the European Commission.

Television programmes would also be censored to ensure there was no promotion of gender stereotypes.

I'd laugh if it were not so sad. Ah, to hell with it....

They're not going to be satisfied until all programs are as bland and contentless as vanilla pudding.
Oops,sorry, did that discriminate against chocolate?
A vast unending load of bollocks is this PC stuff.

The EUniks are a bunch of eunuchs.

There will be no pudding discrimination or opression here, young lady! You think it's all about cheese! Well it's not! There's other dairy products out here in the world you know!

so there! :)

I stand chastised. In a bucket of milk.
And ice cream in my shoes. With whipped cream... nevermind.
There, that should cover it. :)

Arrgh! Saints perserve us!! Europe which used to be an area that valued creativity, has been infected by the PC virus. How absolutely sickening. Oh good heavens, I am using a computer keyboard to type this message, is that discrimination against typewriters....? and if it is....who cares!

To think that a great deal of European culture was built on insults... (Just think of almost anything Voltaire wrote, etc.)
