This seems to have a small measure of truth hidden away in it!!

It had been snowing all night …………..

8:00 am I made a snowman.

8:10 A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snow woman.

8:15 So, I made a snow woman.

8:17 My feminist neighbour complained about the snow woman's

voluptuous chest saying it objectified snow women everywhere.

8:20 The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit

and moaned it could have been two snow men instead.

8:22 The transgender ma..wom...person asked

why I didn't just make one snow person with detachable parts.

8:25 The vegans at the end of the lane complained

about the carrot nose, as veggies are food

and not to decorate snow figures with.

8:28 I am being called a racist because the snow couple is white.

8:31 The Muslim gent across the road demands

the snow woman wear a burqa.

8:40 The Police arrive saying someone has been offended.

8:42 The feminist neighbour complained again

that the broomstick of the snow woman needs to be removed

because it depicted women in a domestic role.

8:43 The council equality officer arrived

and threatened me with eviction.

8:45 TV news crew from the ABC shows up.

I am asked if I know the difference between

snowmen and snow-women?

I reply, "Snowballs"

and am now called a sexist.

9:00 I'm on the News as a suspected

terrorist, racist, homophobe sensibility offender,

bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather.

9:10 I am asked if I have any accomplices.

My children are taken by social services.

9:29 Far left protesters offended by everything

are marching down the street

demanding that I be beheaded.

Moral:

There is no moral to this story.

It's just the world in which we live today

and it is going to get much worse,

because of all this

political correctness

gone crazy.

Political correctness only seems to have gone crazy to people who never gave a thought to how their words or actions could hurt someone else. While a snow figure shouldn't cause offense and I'd ignore any criticism if I had no intention of harming or making a comment with my sculpture, some folks make art a harmful or critical statement that truly offends others. Search for "Maplethorpe Cincinnati" for more info.

Yup, that hits mighty close to home!

The closer comedy is to facts the more funny it is.

Being a government employee we understand why so many funny stories...

The snowman stuff is very close to real events such that it is just too scary for normal folks.

There are people and groups out there just searching for something to be offended by or about. It’s pretty well killed free speech in this country. I’d rather be around people who have a sense of humor rather than those just looking to be upset.
