"Black holes" renamed so they would not offend "Black people"

[Toxick]

It was posted on atleast 3 different sites I saw when I did a google search.
It could be made up but I doubt it.

Does this sounds like an actual quote:

"They're the bad boys of the cosmos." says Nokidi Imsure, Professor of Astronomic Anthropology at Howyflyl University. "You would definitely want to cross the street if you saw one coming."

Or what about this...

"We're glad the council finally took action on this issue." said Isaiah Herman, Chairman of the National African-American Coalition of People.

The NAACP - national african american coalition of people?

The article is simply dripping with sarcasm. C'mon.

And if that's not enough... the following comes right off the legal page (linked on every page of the website)

DailyRedundancy.com is a satirical online news journal published by Vandalay Industries.

DailyRedundancy.com only uses real names in the case of prominent public figures. Any resemblence to any private individuals, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

It is not Political Correctness run amok. It is a joke. The term "Black Hole" still has a place in scientific circles.




Although Imus is still not allowed to refer to them as "Nappy Headed Holes"

It is old, I know, but had to come up with something after you shot my first post down.

I didn't mean to shoot it down. But everyone seemed to be getting really worked up over it. It even spawned another rant thread, demanding to rename Cracker Barrel..

FWIW I never refer to drives as Master and Slave.



I call them Dom and Sub. Sometimes The Mistress and The Worm.

You're right. They are the real dorks or tards. Hey, you haven't seen Geek around, have you?

 

[itsbob]

Do we now call super nova's "Nappy Headed Super High Gravity Locations"??

 

[Kyle]

... Guess they'll have to go back to referring to the "Flight Data Recorder" to avoid a class-action suit.

p.s. In the future, please refrain from reading the actual articles. It's much mo fun to run with an out of context snippet. Kinda like the MSM does. TIA

As long as they don't mess with my Jonney Walker Black Label I really don't care!

 

[donbarzini]

Just rename them after my ex-wife. She sucks the life out of anything that
comes too close.

 

[bcp]

that consumes all matter that comes near it. "They're the bad boys of the cosmos.

this makes sense though.
ever seen one of these black spandex wearing ho's at the all you can eat buffet?

In June, the Los Angeles city council unanimously passed a law requiring that any companies doing business with the city disclose profits they may have made from slavery in the 19th Century. In 2000, the council supported federal legislation seeking reparations for descendants of slaves. .
