Remember the name of the dog in the Dam Busters? There is some good stuff on the ludicrous extremes that political correctnes can go to in George Carlin's newest book, "When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops."
I always thought that political correctness on any issue (racism, sexism, homophobia), if taken to extremes tends to trivialise the real issues. The problems are real, deal with the problems and the nitpicking about language and images will go away, quietly, on its own. It is much more important, for example, to deal with the issue that women are still making less money than men in the same occpation than it is to campaign for the renaming of manhole covers (personhole!!!!), or to tell kids of the person in the moon, or warn them of the boogeyperson.
