The icon of
game show hosts Alec Trabek
Last night
was hit by the PC train wreck
The category
what women want a firestorm of controversy did ignite
The twitter
explosions lit up the PC and sexist night
Clues that
to a vacuum cleaner or tea quickly led
To demands of Trabek being sent to the PC and sexist woodshed
I did not
see the show sad to say and did not record it on my DVD
So the other
clues I cannot comment as I did not see
Jeopardy is
supposed to be a game show with millions over the years won
Not a
political statement on the need for “equal pay’ to put ratings on the downward
run
Once again
our collective skin is becoming far, far too thin
Looking to
on the slightest deviation from PC to lay on a racist or sexist spin
My mother
used to say to me “If you are in a state of pique
Hold your
tongue, count to ten before you speak.”
Great way to
avoid a fight or say something you will later regret
Must we
before we write or speak any words have a PC committee vet?
I hope the
answer is no and all of us will look at the thickness of our skin
Life is a
lot calmer and less stressful if as to words it is not so thin.
