I mean when did the word deodoriser become offensive to some minority group.
I know we are not allowed to call fairy penguins, "fairy penguins' anymore, because the name fairy may offend Homosexuals.
And we can no longer sing "Baa Baa Black Sheep", now we have to sing "Baa Baa Rainbow Coloured Sheep", cause we don't want to offend people with dark coloured skin.
But why would a cleansing product instead of being called "Floral Deodoriser", now be called "Floral Odor Counteracter"
Is that because of political correctness or the manufacturers just trying to be creative?

yes it is bordering on the point of being rediculious.
with the whole ba ba issue, do you really think anyone really cares that the word black is used there?
it is a childrens song for goodness sake.
I would have thought ini min miny mo would have been more offensive..
anywa thanks for the vent.... cheers

no, e.g. I was walking on the Golden Gate bridge 2 weeks ago and overheard one guy say to the 2nd guy, "Wow, look at all the ferryboats in the bay." The 2nd guy replied, "Golly, I didn't know we had our own navy."

People take offense to many different things anymore, it is hard to say. It might be due to political correctness, but who really knows? =)
