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.

ABC, however, is so intrigued by the concept that the network announced plans to produce "Cavemen,"

Worst. Show. Idea. Ever.

I don't know about that. Married with Children was garbage and made millions.

[BJClinton]

we bomb them back to the "Technologically Challenged" age

Awesome.

They're all over the map. LOL!

[HOTTIEBOY]

I am not 100 percent in love with your tone right now.

[atomicpossum]

How about when libs call conservatives 'neanderthals?'

[BJClinton]

And there's that little fact that y'all used stone tools instead of metal.

[Smokin' Joe]

Have to find something else....Lithic technologists?

Though she later said she was misunderstood, Mrs. Tonge was criticized in the British press as "primitive" herself.

You're primitive.

No, you're primitive.

You're primitive.

No, you're primitive.

You're primitive.

No, you're primitive.

You're primitive.

Here we go again. I expect there will be lawsuits against Geico. I expect that descendents of stone age people will start suing Geico for their insensitivity.
Things like this tell me that I chose my user name correctly.

So, what's the correct PC term? Bronze challenged? Iron challenged? Not quite a full sixpack?

[smartymarty]

Next they'll be debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin...

[MrB]

Any attacks against white Christians, especially males, is totally allowable in any PC definition of proper behavior.

[BJClinton]

Will talk of reparations be next?

So Neanderthals sue homo sapiens for reparations. Compounded over 300K years that's a lot of dough.

Wow, what a racket. I need to get tested for Neanderthal DNA just in case.

"Journalists and editors need to understand that the use of these terms directly contributes to the suffering of tribal and indigenous peoples all around the world,"

Oh, puhleeeze...are these tribal people reading the New York Times as it is delivered to them each morning somewhere in the jungles of Borneo? Since when is a term that describes a societal point in time pejorative? When I use the term (and I will continue to do so when appropriate), I'm doing it to convey a mental image of a society (or whatever) that is devoid of modern technology. I see nothing wrong with that. All this PC-ness is a monumental waste of time. And wouldn't it be refreshing for a politician to stand up and say: That's EXACTLY what I mean.

Not even close.

But Senator Biden thinks one of them is clean and articulate.
