PC strikes again, again.
« on: March 25, 2016, 11:29:22 AM »
Supermarket giant Aldi is set to change the name of its 'rape yellow' paint tins following an angry outburst from a sex assault victim.

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, branded the product name 'offensive' after she spotted the tins while she was shopping with her son.

The furious customer said she started 'choking' when she came across the product at the Radford Road store in Coventry, Warwickshire.

Does that mean that it'll be offensive to refer to the fields of yellow flowers that will be blooming throughout the UK soon, as rape ?

Will rapeseed oil become an illegal substance ?

I think it is offensive to refer to the Daily Mail.

  Frankly I find groups or individuals that take offence at any form of criticism, or take offence on behalf of others  OFFENSIVE.     :)

I haven't bought a newspaper in years.

But that's because I'm tight.  ;)

In a Red Top especially for you.
The Mirror was a half decent tabloid until 1973/4 when its owners decided to descend into the gutter to compete with the Sun. Not that it could ever approach the distinctive vileness of the Daily Mail.
