Secret Snowperson

Another proof that the world is full of *bleeps* - my wife is the director of the San Diego office of a foster care agency. So she comes home tonight and says, "look what I got from my secret snowperson". I thought she was kidding. But - the social committee decided that "Secret Santa" was politically incorrect" because there were Jews and Pagans working for the company as well who might be offended. So, it was renamed into "Secret Snowperson". Not snowMAN of course because that'd be sexist. How *bleep* idiotic can you get? How much of a complete *bleep* do you have to be to set up a meeting deciding the fate of "Secret Santa" ? I cannot believe that there'd be people so humorless and brain-damaged to come up with something like that!
The idea of a Snowperson in San Diego of all places is pretty stupid. A song or a annual Christmas cartoon called Frosty the Puddle just would never catch on. Isn't inflicting Snowpersons on San Diego geographical bias? Trying to inflict weather norms from other parts of the country in a much more warmer clime is pure hateful bias. What about those who have never experienced snow or made a snowperson won't they feel left out and weather discriminated against? Somebody should file a complaint there about this Latitude/Longitude bias.

Your comments remind me of when I was in grammar school *cough* few years ago. We were supposed to be doing a Christmas art project (yeah, we still called it Christmas - that went away shortly after this) but we had to use only colors that would appear in nature anywhere in the world. What a joke. We couldn't use green (no green in a desert), couldn't use white (no snow in many areas), etc. Positively confusing. And yet we were able to call it Christmas... That says something.
White, like clouds?
Blue sky and red blood.
Lots of flags!
But this is biased against moles...
Sounds like its time to turn in a blank page.
The world used to be curious, people are trying to make it down right bizarre.
Snowperson!??! But what about all the animals and plants? This is an outrageous case of prejudice against animals and plants. Next year it'll be calleed "SnowSentience".
Best laugh of my day, Jeff, thanks for it!
What have these bozos been smoking to come up with such ideas? I suppose "secret" will be dropped, because of "It's Not Nice to Keep Secrets" and child molestation and all.... SecretSnowPerson...personally I'd give them a box of hot air.
I'd rather have Frosty the Puddle at this rate.
Aw, not that 'But the Jews/Muslims/Buddhists/Hindus/Atheists/Agnostics etc. might be offended!' excuse. Sure, some people of these religions might actually be offended, but they don't have to impose their will on these people and say all of them are offended by these stuff. The people who push 'Political Correctness' are themselves being 'Politically Incorrect' by imposing their will on people of other religions by saying 'this stuff might offend them/make them feel left out, etc.' when some people of these religions aren't actually offended.
Oh, now see what you've done? You've set off the new INTERNET-wide gendered-substring detectors. (It's in beta, but they still have some bugs - no one can tell their gender.)
=========================
Beep Beep Beep.
Gender-containing substring detected.
"Snowperson" contains MASCULINE signifier "son".
Suggested alternative:
1. Snowperson and/or Snowperdaughter
2. SnowPeople
3. SnowBeing
4. SnowEntity
=========================
Wow. You should see what it does with "MANageMENt". Hee hee.
That gender-substring detector hadjust offended Non-Living things for suggesting words that are used for living things. In doing so, the detector belittled and offended all Non-Living things by its results.
Patrick,
By calling them non-living things you have offended the Gaia-worshiping pagans.
Mr. Flapatap, by supporting Gaia-Worshipers you are offending those who aren't. :-D
As an aside, could Mr. Jeff create a parody of this 'Treadmill of Political Correctness' if one hasn't been made already?
As I mentioned on Gerald's site:
I know Dasher and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid, Donner and Blitzen. But I do not recall... this gender-ambiguous Snow-Person at all!
I laughed out loud! - Thanks!
