Speaking as a resident of Los Angeles County, I feel compelled to mention that the bureaucrats in charge are a group of incompetent bumfucks and twiddledicks who couldn't find their own collective ass with both hands, a Sherpa, and a GPS.

Nowadays, a word doesn't even have to be intended to offend someone to be deemed "innapropriate"! Kind of like when someone complained about the word "niggardly".

One of the Slashdot responses said that Oak Ridge went through something like that and the official documentation started sporting things like "indentured servant." :lol:

With a dad in the DOE, I can believe that.

My parents did all sorts of work for the government when they worked for Honeywell; my dad has told me all kinds of semantic bullshit they had to go through on paperwork.

Incredible. I feel compelled to try to avoid working or living in LA County in the future.


OH look! My hard drives' Master and Slave settings got messed up! I hope I didn't offend anyone by bringing pain and frustration upon myself! :roll:




PC makes the baby Jesus cry.

Nuke the fucking gay whales. I'm serious, this is enough to drive a liberal like me to the right with open arms.

OH NO! I might offend someone because my hard drives say master and slave! Whatever shall we do? [/sarcasm]

MASTER! SLAVE! MASTER! SLAVE! MASTER! SLAVE!

*presses the shift key a few dozen times*

Gee, I'm in big trouble now.... :roll:

Fuck the LA County, fuck them up their stupid asses.

I'm not all down with the lingo, but will this affect imported software? I can imagine people complaining about immorality corrupting their innocent software.

Correction: why can't southern California drop into the ocean? Northern California is actually a respectable place.
