Some companies in the United Kingdom are banning their employees from sending each other valentine's day cards. A spokesman for one gave three reasons:
1) It could be interpreted as a form of sexual harassment.
2) Some women could be percieved as promiscous (a **** to the unedcuated out there) if they recieve to many.
3) Others may become jealous and have their feelings hurt if they recieve few or none.
Is this political correctness gone completely and utter bonkers this time? Or is it me that is out of touch with reality?

No, you are not out of touch with reality. This has to be yet another example of some interfering pillocks intent upon imposing their misplaced p c views on the rest of society. These people and their views should be treated with the contempt they so richly deserve.

After all it's only one day in 365. These companies are so far up their ar**s they cannot smell the flowers for the trees.

I agree with you, its nonsense.
However, whenever we have a "Political Correctness gone mad" question on this site everyone agrees thats its daft.
So who is it that keeps making these decisions ? No one on tis site ever seesm to thing PC is right.

It does seem to be yet another example of the insanity this world is plunging into. God help us all.
