FATTY ARBUCKLE

With all this PC crap flying around, I find it so difficult to understand why people who should be unaffected by something said about another that bears no real relevance, physical or otherwise, to that social whinger type whatsoever.
So, may I relate to you, the case of one Fatty Arbuckle, a film star of the silent era. By today’s standards of things PC wise, he would have had people whom he had never met and possibly would never have known existed, bending over backwards to have his name restored and not allow derogatory things to be said against him by way of title, as in Fatty which would now appear to be salacious to his size. Today’s feeble minded politically correct social whinging foot soldiers would protect him to the end to stop this ill treatment of him and any further suggestion that there could be malice in this way.
I believe Fatty Arbuckle was once asked the question in an interview given by a newspaper, whether or not he actually minded being known as Fatty Arbuckle. He replied, “ My father was known as it, and my grandfather also, just like me, were known as Arbuckle, why should I mind .. . “
. . .therefore, I rest my case, so to all you politically correct morons, shove off and mind your own pathetic and sad lives . . .

Personally I agree that the concept of 'politically correct' can go too far, I am one of the 'care in the community' cases, I'm not gonna bite anyone or anything (unless u ask nicely!!! lol) but my 'pyschiatric ward' humour has been frowned on until they realise I've been there!!! A sense of humour can lighten the day without lightening the subject material, I think it's up to the individual what they want to hear, what they want to laugh at, that's something that's lost in labels ('political correctness' being one of them) x
