Should "Brainstorming" Be Banned In North America?
I can't believe things could go this far, and how much further can things go?
David Farrar shares with us a list of political correctness gone bad.
One of the worst, and most stupidest, is a ban (from Ireland) on the word "brainstorming" because it could offend those with brain disorders.

Actually, I think Belfast is in Northern Ireland. But I'm just nit picking! :)

As usual, the PC police are missing the point.
A storm involves a lot of electrical activity and loud noise, but has no lasting effect other than the occasional swath of destruction. Therefore, to be completely accurate, it's not a "brainstorm" unless it comes from a politician or tenured university professor.

As someone with a brain disorder I'd just like to say:
Blahhh.... He he... I can insert ten onions in to a donkeys backpage and clap hysterically.
