Does anyone on the PC left have a sense of humor?

Question

The latest thing to raise the hackles of the PC police is the Snickers ad aired during the Super Bowl. Is there anything they DON'T find offensive?

Snakes on a Plane: Would you care to elaborate, or is that your opinion in toto?

Answer 1

PC precludes a sense of humor. There is nothing they don't find offensive. I'm sure they would find both your question & my answer offensive.

Answer 2

I think you're misunderstanding the concept of PC. If you view PC as being nothing more than being politically correct your missing the point. PC can stand for being sensitive to people's needs especially as their needs are shaped by vast cultural experiences. I think going nuts over any football commercial is stupid but it has nothing to do with being PC. People can become preoccupied by being offended. It takes no thought to be offended. Unfortunately some people make careers out of being offended. Some people are just overly litigious, because they have no internal morality that stops them before they enter the legal arena. For my part, I wish people were more "homophobic" not less. By the way, that doesn't include being violent. There's no excuse for that.

Answer 3

I thought it was hilarious... the hair pulling out of left field, but I <3 Snickers.

There's always going to be the PC police, they're the ones that get angry at almost everything.

Goes back to the radicals thing. The few crazies that make everybody else look bad. (Glances up at some of the answers.) Yup, here too.

Answer 4

Umm... was it pulled for being homophobic, or *by* the homophobic? In any case, not everyone on the "PC left" is distracting themselves by boycotting Snickers, anymore than everyone on the "Family Values" right threw a fit over Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction a few years ago.

Answer 5

Its a little hypocritical that those who claim to be tolerent of everything are at the same time offended by everything. Then again, political correctness tends to redefine words the way we like them. Tolerent, therefore means "what ever agrees with our point of view". That's more feel-good.

Answer 6

That's America for you. And it's only gonna get worse. I found that Commercial to be EXTREMELY hilarious and amusing. But the way this country is doing today. We as American have to adapt to outsiders way of life....so we don't' OFFEND anyone. OH NO!! Don't OFFEND anyone..that could be bad!!! You know what they are talking about doing. It was brought up here recently. That there are actually people of congress who WANT to bring over the Sunnies and Shiites from Iraq over to America because we are at war with them... WTF!!!! This is your America People. We shouldn't have to BOW to outsiders so we don't OFFEND Them....they don't care if they offend us...so why do we have to learn there language..and learn there believes and have to change our life styles so we don't OFFEND them..... BAH!!!!!!

Answer 7

If you go far enough left, they are very politically incorrect also. It's the moderate left - liberals - that want to legislate thought control through the use of laws against forbidden language.

Answer 8

crazy isnt it? I loved the snickers ad and I didnt take offense at all.

Answer 9

No. there tolerant and open minded unless it allegedly attacks one of there liberal views. You can have a gay pride parade with naked men riding bicycles with Nixon masks, but no stupid snickers commercials?! Nice world libs.

Answer 10

Flase. With a capital F.
