Time to Find Another Name for Pork Chops

In Orwell's prescient 1984, government bureauweenies enslave the populace at an ever more profound level by eliminating words from the language, as limiting vocabulary limits thought. The farcical application of Orwellian totalitarianism by politically correct knuckleheads has just claimed another casualty:

Two days after naming its mascot "PorkChop," the Philadelphia Phillies' new Triple-A affiliate abruptly dropped the moniker after receiving complaints from Hispanics that it was offensive.
The Lehigh Valley IronPigs, whose mascot is a large, furry pig, had selected PorkChop from more than 7,300 fan submissions. The team, which begins play in 2008, announced Monday that the mascot will be named "Ferrous" instead.
General Manager Kurt Landes said he heard from several Hispanics who said PorkChop was derogatory.
"We were really unaware of any negative connotations with the word 'pork chop,"' he said. "If it offended a few, it's a few too many."

Update your dictionaries, moonbats! The term "pork chop" has been deleted from Newspeak.

PorkChop_Ferrous.jpg   Being a pig, PorkChop — I mean Ferrous — is probably also offensive to Muslims. Maybe they ought to just call off the whole thing.

On tips from Bill and Wiggins.

van - have you had the pleasure of seeing "achmed the dead terrorist" vids?

google him and die laughing!

Sigh. Similar no doubt is "roast beef". In France, "rosbif" (roast beef) is a derogatory term for the English, like we call them "froggies" (short for frogs legs). So can we ban all references to foods that may in some way be associated with some group?

The society we're creating is going to be most bizarre ever. Not fun to live in, not even bearable, but certainly unique.

Wow, looks like sanctioning illegal border crossings for the sake of committing crimes isn't the ONLY thing Moonbats have in common with Mooselimbs - now they too hate pigs!

WAUGH: The flier said in big bold letters, radical Islam wants you dead, and it was that provocative statement which has set off this firestorm. The administration came out, once some people approached the administration and said that they were offended, the administration put out a campuswide e-mail to all 50,000 students and $51 that we owe the entire campus an apology.

GLENN: Are you going to apologize?

WAUGH: What we wrote was basically we will not apologize for telling the truth. We have a whole list of reasons why radical Islam does want us dead and I would challenge anyone to find a radical Islamist who wants us alive.

Via Jawa.

On second thought, this quote is funnier:

GLENN: You guys just said that radical Islam wants you dead, yet the Muslim students complained saying that acts of hatred on college campuses such as the noose at Columbia University are making national headlines and the Muslim students now feel unsafe.

Oh, oh, my gosh. You know what, Chris? We've completely misunderstood this. Oh, my gosh. I just understood this statement. The Muslim students feel unsafe because they're not radical Muslims and they're thinking that radical Muslims want them dead and so they're afraid of the radical Muslims. Is that a possibility that that's what they --

Maybe that's what it is. My gosh, oh, my gosh, I feel so bad for the Muslims on campus now because they are unsafe. They truly are unsafe. They are just as unsafe as anybody else who speaks out against radical Islam and for them to go and attend this movie. How many of the Muslims did you have there attend the Obsession thing?

The link to the burqa hospital gowns is here:

The BBC version is much more dhimmi in its praising of the move.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier if they just made a list of the words that we're allowed to use, rather than letting us use words that later turn out to be prohibited?

She won't do anything, Dennis. She's dead.

Unreal, amazing the things people whine about. I never in my life heard that Porkchop was a offensive name for Hispanics - you gotta be shittin me! Is someone making this up?

Oh no. What's going to become of the sausage races in Milwaukee? The race is supposed to be an "inclusive" gag with a bratwurst, a polish sausage, a spicy Italian sausage and something else, maybe a banger or a chorizo racing around the ballfield between innings. I'm sure somebody will get offended soon and it will be called off - or they will end up with 200+ different sausages to represent every country in the world, but then the vegans will still be offended...

What exactly is offensive about "pork chop" to Hispanics? I'd like to know...

Ian, are you offended if I bring up the word "lime"?

Posted by: Pam at December 5, 2007 7:55 AM

my method of making fun of mexicans is humming the mexican hat dance song when ever i deal or see them.

the priceless looks at 7-11 when getting change humming it, give me pride.

the fruit of this labor is when they begin to humm the song under breathe also, so all day long you hear the hat dance song its golden.

Ferrous! Ferrous! How dare they name their mascot Ferrous! Ferrous is a derogatory term referring to the people from the iron producing region of Tinborto. My ancestors are rolling in their graves! This is a terrible insult.

Pam, I am indeed deeply wounded :)
