Dinner was delicious tonight but the TV news item that accompanied it (uncouth I am, yes—but fairly well informed) left a bad taste.

Over in Ozz (where else?) they’ve PC’d a cookie right off of the market. Actually, not really off the market, just a name change. What the biscuit ‘Creole Creams’ will now be known as is anyone’s guess, but the previous name was — get this — racist.

(SFX: insert shock-horror noises here) (Give it heaps)

They interviewed an Aboriginal guy (with blue/green eyes, note) who was up in arms at the sheer blatant racialism in the name ‘Creole Creams’* .
I have to admire his education, most of the people I’ve associated with all my life wouldn’t know a Creole from a crinoline or a Dover sole. I doubt that a great many Australians are aware what Creoles are, or even care a damn any more than moi.

“And ‘creams’ is viciously racist, too!” the interviewee said.

I find myself wondering if those famous UK toffees will now be removed from the market, or simply relabeled to make them fit for Australian consumption?
Jersey creams … now to become (say) Jersey Chews?

We have milk … the chew at the top of the milk? Henceforth frozen dairy confection to be known as ice-chew?

I LOVE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
I do, I do, I do; I really adore the PC. They are so earnest, so absolutely sincere in their dedicated Twatism.
Obviously the ‘Ernie Dingo’ type on the news tonight has a black belt in Twat and must have practised for decades to achieve such mastery.
He’s doubtlessly about to launch a new school of Twatology, one which he will franchise as soon as he has the momentum. Won’t take long …

As nobody in Ozz has (yet) lynched the bugger I predict he will do very well, so I’ll buy stock when he goes public—the Oz market is obviously ready and wide open—

—so long as he doesn’t use ‘Creole’ in his business name (or any variant of that once innocent word ‘cream’).
