Latest PC Victim - Christmas TreesFollow

Apparently a few "PC Crusaders" (oxymoron, I know) thinks the word Christmas is offensive and has convinced a few reactionists to change the name to Holiday Tree.

Oh brother.

well thats taking it a bit too far.

After reading this I immediatly pictured Bill Gates in full armor slaughtering all Mac employees.

candlestick offends me.

from now on you must call it the waxflamewick thing.

I would make a safe bet that no families that celebrate Chanukah have christmas trees...that would just be silly.

They do however have manorahs, dredels, and a bunch of other things. Do the folks that celebrate christmas ask those to be changed? Are they really that offended by the sight of a Christmas Tree in the town square? If so, some people need to have a priority adjustment.

You may be right...

you are just making that up to make me look bad.

Fu[/i]ck you! Merry Christmas *****!














Now pull the christmas tree branch out of your ***.

speaking of PC. This is a funny email that I got today at work. Just did a copy and paste job. This is when PC is taken too far. I don't know if this is an oldy but I thought it was funny.

Christmas Party

I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place
on
December 23, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill
House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We'll have a small

band playing traditional carols...feel free to sing along. And don't be
surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree
will
be lit at 1:00pm. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that
time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts

easy for everyone's pockets. This gathering is only for employees! Our
CEO
will make a special announcement at that time!

Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Patty

RE: Holiday Party
In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish
employees.
We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often
coincides
with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on

we're calling it our "Holiday Party." The same policy applies to any
other
employees who are not Christians or those still celebrating
Reconciliation
Day. There will be no Christmas tree present. No Christmas carols sung.
We
will have other types of music for your enjoyment.

Happy now?
Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Patty

RE: Holiday Party
Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous
requesting a non-drinking table . you didn't sign your name. I'm happy
to
accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA

Only"; you wouldn't be anonymous anymore. How am I supposed to handle
this?
Somebody?
Forget about the gifts exchange, no gifts exchange are allowed since
the
union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and executives believe
$10.00 is a little chintzy.
NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

RE: Holiday Party

What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20 begins the
Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during
daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a

luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees'

beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until

the end of the party- or else package everything for you to take it home
in
little foil doggy baggy. Will that work? Meanwhile, I've arranged for
members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and
pregnant women will get the table closest to the restrooms. Gays are
allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay
men,
each will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangement
for
the Gay men's table. To the person asking permission to cross dress, no
cross-dressing allowed though. We will have booster seats for short
people.
Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control
the
salt used in the food we suggest for those people with high blood
pressure
to taste first. There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics, the

restaurant cannot supply "No Sugar" desserts. Sorry!
Did I miss anything?!?!?

RE: The DAMN Holiday Party

Vegetarian pricks I've had it with you people!!! We're going to keep
this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit

quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so
quaintly
put it, and you'll get your f**king salad bar, including organic
tomatoes.
But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice
them.
I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW! I hope you
all
have a rotten holiday! Drive drunk and die,
The ***** from HELL!!!!!!!!

I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery

and I'll continue to forward your cards to her. In the meantime,
management
has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon
of
the 23rd off with full pay.
Happy Holidays!
ttle too far.

Sometimes I beleave I come to these boards just to look at all the avators, the OP's, case in point,

Im just now getting up off the floor, two thumbs up.

You know what's really bad? Is when people take out "Christ" and put in an "X". I mean, how disrepectful can you be? Only bad things start with X, like X-rated, xXx, etc.
