The Bear of Controversy

Here it is, the bear of controversy:



Ah, the hatred of "political correctness". It's all the fashion these days. It's funny though ... while many people bemoan political correctness, few people can define it if you ask them to. Here is the definition:

politically correct
adj. (Abbr. PC)

Of, relating to, or supporting broad social, political, and educational change, especially to redress historical injustices in matters such as race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.


Wow, I can see why people would hate ... um ... being concerned about historical injustices and whatnot. How being concerned about the plight of others became a crime is beyond me. I guess it's an example of how well those who pretend to be compassionate have played the game of semantics.

Yes, the bear is tasteless and if the Vermont Bear Company had any decency they would discontinue it immediately.
