Comedians Punching Back at the PC Speech Police

A documentary entitled, “Can We Take A Joke?” produced by Adam Carolla and Gilbert Gottfried came out.  It’s about how the offended class (Ahem, the pansy left control freaks) are too sensitive to hear words without spinning into a petulant frenzies.  They’re petulant and they have a frenzy when they hear words or phrases they don’t like for some reason.  Crazy, edgy words like “Chicago”, “Pimp”, or “He”.

This type of hysteria used stem from words like the “N” word. But it’s slipped down over the years to include all kinds of innocuous words, phrases, and gestures that don’t strike people as offensive at all.  Unless, you’re susceptible to that kind of brainwashing and you really, really work at being offended.

Some of us know these people, although probably not the extreme pronoun averse version. You know the pampered ones pouting around the college campus in fear of hearing a pronoun and, God forbid, thought that challenges them and makes their brains hurt. These extreme ones are not too common, but the one’s on the way there are around.  Heck there’s a commenter that pollutes the Grok comment section whose undies get bunched if the word “pimp” and “Oblunder” appear on the same page. It sends him into one cluster fudge of a tirade causing him to use terms and words he clearly doesn’t understand.  But hey, that’s on him. That’s on the pansy left.

And that’s where it should stay.  Quarantine off their intolerance and leave the rest of us to enjoy life, love, and laugh. If they want a safe space, move away from the speech that offends you.

And the comedians in this movie look like they’re following that line of thinking and taking aim right at the speech control freak’s soft wittle feelings.  Basically saying, “Grow the hell up. You don’t own this world. If you don’t like something, move on.”

“If you think you have the right to not be offended.  Either change your parameters of what offends you. Or just realize you’re wrong.” – Jim Norton

Amen.
