I loved this! So fed up with extreme political correctness ( apparently, in the NHS, we can no longer use the words Asian, african or blind people!) and this made me laugh so much. Loved the idea that nobody told him his virgins were male or female

I love this so funny - made me laugh out loud in the office so I had to share it with other PA's

we decided we found it even funnier having been working in a muslim office for a number of months

I can't see Utube clips at work, unfortunately, but I can understand Cat's frustration with political correctness in certain instances.

For example, I work for the Royal National Institute of Blind People (used to be ...'for the Blind', but that was deemed patronising). A few years ago it became policy that we were no longer allowed to refer to the Visually Impaired (VI) and now have to say Blind and Partially Sighted (BAPS).

Guide Dogs for the Blind, I believe, do still use Visually Impaired. What's the supposed 'correct' term in the NHS now?

Re: Achmed The Dead Terrorist

Get this, we can use the word "Blind", but cannot refer to "the blind" which theoretically implies the word "the" is offensive.

My only guess is that this comes from the movement of not classifying people by their disorder. For instance i dont say "schizophrenics" but would refer to people who have schizophrenia ie their is more to a person than an illness or disorder. This is partly from the negative connetations of mental health disorders but i was surpised to see this in the context of language for physical problems.

And i refuse to stop using the word asian as how else am i describe ethnic origion??? I need to comment on this when i write reports as cultural background can affect ability to do tests.

The NHS is a bit of a nightmare to work in at times

You're right, of course!! It's 'the' which is politically incorrect. I have just re-checked RNIB's mission statement and, throughout, it refers to 'people who are blind or partially sighted'. Which is still a hell of a lot more effort to say than VIP!

Re: Achmed The Dead Terrorist

I clicked on THIS by mistake on iTunes... its free.

Some of it (after the Clay Atkin bit) has made me snigger.

Warning - I wouldn't listen to it if you're at work, its WAY past the mark and definitely not politically correct!
