Attention Fred Flintstone and the Geico cave guys: "Stone Age" is no longer acceptable, joining the list of other words and terms deemed offensive in polite society.

[BJClinton]

Calling a primitive, stone age people "primitive" or "stone age" is now double plus ungood.

I dunno if this fits your anthropology/archeology pings. Interesting and sad none the less.

[ExpatGator]

Time for a 5 minute hate.

[rhombus]

Is this the "S-word"?

[LonePalm]

Sounds like somebody has way too much government grant money on their hands.

Finally! The Caveman is making in roads....

So instead of bombing Iran back to the stone age when the time comes, we bomb them back to the "Technologically Challenged" age?

[NeoCaveman]

Now this is just being too sensitive.

I have no problem with the term stone age, it's when we invented fire.

Stone Rage against raped females in Muslim countries should be banned!

Did you catch this?
...well-dressed but disgruntled Neanderthals arguing against the use of cave man images to market Geico's claims department -- "so easy a cave man could do it."
ABC, however, is so intrigued by the concept that the network announced plans to produce "Cavemen," a comedy series based on the characters. A trio of the beetle-browed but trendy men will "struggle with prejudice on a daily basis as they live the lives of normal thirtysomethings in 2007 Atlanta," the network said.

Worst. Show. Idea. Ever.

This band had a cool name while it lasted...

I'll have the duck with mango salsa

[Pharmboy]

Will talk of reparations be next?

[ladtx]

Call me prejudiced, but a caveman could never be president, they are just too stooopid.

I like most of Parental Advisory's stuff. What a versatile group!

Your ancestors clubbed my ancestors with a rock. You owe me.
