Monty Python - "Loretta"


Monty Python predicted what heights of silliness political correctness would eventually reach!

What do you mean eventually? I think they were simply mocking what was CURRENT in England. lol

Yes but it had not reached the heights it occupies today. I'm thinking of having a baby myself. I need some feedback, clothing ideas, diaper tips, that sort of stuff, help with the surgery, hormones and counciling on the effects of long term drug abuse and pregnancy.

Political correctness started in American universities.

The term, yes. But political correctness, or cultural marxism, finds its origins at Goethe University in Frankfurt Germany, in the early 1900's.

Do you ever get tired of shooting your mouth off and looking stupid?

. How many times did we see Monty Phython recreate the supercilious Blackleaf character? Blackleaf is an exaggeration of this same pretentious twit permanently stuck in a fantastic place and time of his own invention.

No, I'll have to disagree with you there.

Modern political correctness - the silly political correctness that we all know today, which didn't exist before the 1990s (which is why the Dambusters had a black dog called N*gger and nobody got "offended" by it) - originated in Yank universities. The modern politically correct movement is generally said to have begn at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which is one of the most liberal colleges in the USA.
