Fighting the Nanny State Since 2003

Political Correctness Run Amok

Two stories, both ridiculous.

In England, a hospital has banned cooing at newborns, because it’s somehow a violation of their human rights.

In Iowa, some chick wants the University to get rid of its pink visitors locker room in the football stadium because it seems homophobic.

Yes, I called her a chick on purpose. I can’t stand these ninnies.

    Apparently she is not a Hawkeye fan. If she was one, then she would know why Hayden Fry had the visitors locker room painted pink in the first place. Politcal Correctness MUST DIE!!!

    I wish my life was so damn complete and perfect that all I had to worry about was the color of the walls in a locker room somewhere.

    Update on the Hornet’s. This isn’t a “I was right.” I’m truely surprised that there is this must interest. I expected 60-70% capacity…

    It is interesting, but how are they doing this? By selling their tickets for well below the average price for an NBA ticket.

    In other words, not exactly the best test of whether or not Oklahoma City can truly support an NBA franchise.

    Again, I wish the city the best of luck, and it would be awesome if the corporate base kicks in enough cash to make it happen. Of course, I’d much prefer to see a Major League Baseball team instead of an NBA team, but that’s just me.

    Cam,

    The time might still be right for a MLB club in OKC. But when you have the NBA,NFL & MLB wanting to go Global(EX,Niners vs. Cardinals in Mexico City this Sunday.) you have to take a chance or be left out in the cold. 10 dollars a ticket! You can see me at the “Jack Nicholson” seats.

    I heard the locker room story on the radio a few days ago…some people simply have far too much time on their hands.
    Really, is there nothing else going on in the world that they could take up a cross about?

    Now I’m going to go listen to some Aerosmith sing “Pink”.
