when do the "pc" police sleep ? ? ?

Published Jul. 11, 2008

 

First the "black hole" now this.

Political correctness rules the road in Atlanta — which is replacing all its "Men at Work" signs with gender-neutral ones after a women's magazine editor complained of bias.

 The project, which involves painting over the existing 50 "Men at Work" and "Men Working" signs with those that say simply "Workers Ahead" or "Workers," will cost a total of $1,000, Atlanta Public Works Commissioner Joe Basista said.

I think the politically correct activists create hostile work environments.

It is time to start fighting against these whiney people. The first person who whines becomes part of the work crew.

Times are really great when this is what people have to complain about. I agree with Phil.

Given the current state of the work ethic - I am offended by the use of the word Workers. ryoung

I second that!

What part of WoMAN did that journalist miss?

I'm known as a "feminist" in some circles. Men at work signs have never offended me.

I would prefer to be called an actor. And postperson sounds rather unmelodious; however, postal worker is fine by me.

The sad part is even the new signs are incorrect. Using the word "Workers" implies work is happening. They should just use the word "Something" ahead.

Hey, I won't argue on Raquel Welch, but what about Kate Moennig?

OH NO! Its the "B" word!

ANYWAY -Yeah, this is a stupid issue. PC is gonna choke this nation to death.
