What makes you angry? Get it off your chest so we can laugh at your impotent rage.

The phrase "political correctness gone mad"
Which will invariably be backed up by stuff about Christmas being banned, which has never happened, or how you're not allowed to say "nigger" on TV even though according to them, every single black person in the world says "nigger". Or about how, if you employ someone who uses a ladder, you're supposed to make sure it won't break when they're halfway up it, which of course sounds like a massive inconvience.
The worst example of this type of thing is of course the Daily Mail. For years they banged on about peadophiles, causing an air of mass hysteria in the country. Then when a school blocked out pictures of children's faces probably because they'd overdosed on Daily Mails, the Mail finally realised how ridiculous they'd been all the time, but instead of admitting that, they blamed it all on the PC brigade.
And far from this imaginary brigade wanting everything banned, by far the most amount of calls for stuff being banned actually comes from right-wing papers like the Mail. And if anything actually does get banned by the government in a stupid attempt to appeal to Mail readers, it's blamed by the SAME FUCKING PEOPLE WHO WANTED IT BANNED IN THE FIRST PLACE on the "PC Brigade" or "Health and Safety Nazis".
Not that other people don't want stuff banned for other reasons, but it's just weird how one group try and ban things and then blame their banning, (or if the banning never happened, they'll make it up) on an imaginary brigade.
