Default Political Correctness Gone Mad

THE Red Arrows have been banned from performing at the 2012 London Olympics as they are too BRITISH.

Barmy organisers claim the popular RAF display team’s military background “might offend other nations”.

I guess it's hard not to offend anyone these days. What your worst example of PC gone mad?

Mine would be "Schools advised to replace sports day with 'problem solving' on the grounds that they are too competitive and may damage pupils' self-esteem - this often reflects the schools' attitude towards competitive sports or competitiveness in general"
