That's what I thought too. As if being a black sheep is bad, so bad that if you mention it you're offending someone, as if calling a fat person "hey you're fat". So you just remove the offending word from existence.

I also dislike profoundly the expressions "african-american", "asian-american" and "jupiterian-twat". Political correctness makes me want to puke. Or fart. Or both. First sequentially, then simultaneously.

And dwarfs are not dwarfs anymore either? Their condition stopped being called dwarfism except in medical vademecums. Now they're called "people who are as good as you and me but the poor ones are as short as a flowerpot, but not those giant flowerpots your grandma has in her porch, I mean the flowerpots that you could have on your window sill". Shortened form: flowerpots.

I'll refrain posting an illustration of a cute girl in japanese style in case someone in the fifth dimension gets offended because it causes him a hard-on, reminding him that he is a slave of his fifth-dimension body as everyone else (everyone in the fifth dimension, of course).


Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey / Oh, since I set my eyes on you. / I tell you the truth.
I can't get it right / Get it right / Since I met you...
