More PC bullshit to deal with, not to mention the taxpayers dollars to "make everything beautiful" (for the Liberals)

I think I'm gonna go mad.  This kind of shaZam! makes me wish I had never had children because it's only gonna get worse.  There's no telling what this world will be like in 20 years or so.  Where's the f%$king duck tape?  I need to wrap my head before it explodes..... :mad:

I bet if these people had a hobby or something to occupy their time like riding a gs they wouldn't be such asses. They simply have nothing better to do with their lives.

I hate PC bullshit like this.

At least the "racism" thing has died down for abit only to be bloody replaced by this crap. The world has gone mad. What is scary is nearly everyone you tell this story to will be like WTF?! so it's not exactly backed by the people is it, its backed by a minority claiming to represent a majority.

i was pissed off to read this as well. then i read a readers response to the article....something about having the signs say lazy people leaning on shovels ahead. i almost pissed myself i laughed so hard. it's retarted though. those damn signs have always said "men at work" when we refer to the human race we say "mankind". oh, shaZam!, better not every repeat Neil Armstrong's speech...he was sexist ya know, didn't include womankind.  :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo: how f%$king dumb do you have to be? is this the kinda retarded as shaZam! that is taught in school now? if we want the signs to be truly acurate, we'd have to make shaZam! tons more of them. like for instance, "fat black woman holding a stop sign ahead". oh, wait, nope that's racist. see? where the f%$k does this insanity end?  :2guns:
