Newspeak Dictionary Update Alert
Here's how Merriam-Webster defines the term brainstorming:
a group problem-solving technique that involves the spontaneous contribution of ideas from all members of the group; also : the mulling over of ideas by one or more individuals in an attempt to devise or find a solution to a problem
In short, it means thinking — so naturally British authorities have banned it on grounds of political incorrectness. According to bureauweenies, "the word brainstorming might offend mentally ill people and those with epilepsy."
Intones a spokesman for Tunbridge Wells Borough Council in Kent:
We take diversity awareness very seriously. The majority of staff have taken part in training and been asked to use the term thought showers.
All copies of the Newspeak dictionary are to be updated at once. Cross out brainstorming, add thought showers.
On a tip from wz.

Many moonbats do act like they are having a seizure when they try to think so I can see why they are a little touchy about this.

That's it...when they object to a simple phrase like "brainstorming" because epileptics MIGHT object (none had), they've gone completely round the bend. There is no hope.
Next, the phrase "outside the box" is to be banned because prisoners in jail might get their feelings hurt because it reminds them that they are "inside the box." (Although considering how overused and trite that phrase has become, it might not be a bad thing.)

Well, were I to have water on the brain I would be very offended at the term 'thought showering'.

they havent gone aroudn the bend... its just that you and others have no idea where this leads.
do you think blaming jews and killing them was a rational thing? no, its the way it goes when life is lived by prethought premises.
what you and others havent figured is that the red terror that came started like this. people taking the premises of ideology to their end result.
doing this is not crazy, its being proactive. why should they wait for a convenient test case when they dont have to?
the point here is that eventually the laws will be silly and capricious. that feuls the cycle of prison labor.... after all, eventually all of us will be criminals... so if they prosecute you for jay walking and your innocent, no matter, you must be guilty of something, so their consciecne is clear.
everyone is still acting as if the goal is a mertocracy, when the reverse has been the goal since the 60s communist revolution.

I think they should call it "storm-draining".

It's a veritable "thought shower" here as I am literally in tears over the absurdity of this ban and the mental picture of Airstrip One's Newspeak custodians feverishly working to update the dictionaries (such as they are these days). Thanks for the laughs. Doubleplusfunny!

Define this, you PC-anus cavities:
What bovine excrement! Get a REAL job, you feces filled skulls.

Ah, liberals. People who eat their own product, and proclaim it good.

then study history and find out how the soviet union did it.
if someone went from favor to unfavor... they not only disappeared in real life, they were removed from history.
watching photos of stalin and historical members as new photos were issued and people in them disappeared. they were retouched and those in disfavor removed.
the instructions came that you took a ruler, tore a page out, and replaced it with the new one that they issued. failure to do so, meant you could be in serious trouble. having books that were nto updated was also a trouble. ergo why when you see photos of russian homes then, even though they were educated people there werent a lot of books.
heck... they went so far that people couldnt move around... and so you could get a local map of your area... but no map would work for a large area since they all had fake roads, roads with wrong sinage, directions that went no where...
thats how far they went... in order to prvent internal stuff from happening, eventhe information as to roads and areas and maps became a state secret!
americans who have never experienced this, cant even imagine it... its so far outside their experience and belief that they think its faked.

Sounds like these morons had a "thought shower" and their brains spontaneously combusted!!!!!!!
Do you think if they had a lobotomy they would quick coming up with the PC crap??? This post and comment thread has had me in stitches!!!!

Anytime moonbats get together to 'think' it just winds up a 'group coitus', if you catch my drift.
But seriously, the fact that moonbats even utter the word 'thought' offends the rest of us who do.
