PC Madness

Sigh... Sorry to get semi-political. Here's one about Ben & Jerry's getting called out by the PC police for their insensitive use of the term "black and tan." It's "shocking" that the most political ice cream company in the world should be apologizing for this. Really.

But tell me... do those who are offended by this name object to every bar in the English-speaking world acknowledging a black and tan as a stout and ale beer mixture? Perhaps they should ask all the bars to apologize too.

Also ye olde Irish Slang for British Soldiers, "here come the black & tans" :)
