... And The Horse You Rode In On

It is truly a pathetic society in which we live. There's that fag who didn't like that black dude calling him a fag, so, wham, black dude is ordered to undergo Fag Sensitivity Brainwashing to save his job. And now, more from the I don't like what you're saying so I'm going to demand that you change insanity that runs rampant in this thought-control culture.

From U.S. restaurants blast Kevin Federline TV ad:

A leading restaurant association has called for the cancellation of a TV commercial featuring Britney Spears' estranged husband, Kevin Federline, as a failed rap star working in a fast-food eatery.

Where does anyone get the right to demand anything simply because they don't like the implication or is insulted by what is being said? My sensibilities are insulted every single day. I can turn off the television, hit the x button on the page I downloaded, close the newspaper, hang up the phone, leave the room. There are two things that you have the right to do when offended: 1) remove yourself from offensive source 2) confront the offensive source. That's it. You do not have the right to FORCE someone to change their mind, their words or their attitudes to suit you. You do not have the right to demand that someone respect you, your ideals, your lifestyle or your interest.

We have libel and slander laws. Here is Wiki's definition:

In law, defamation is the communication of a statement that makes a false claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may harm the reputation of an individual, business, product, group, government or nation. Most jurisdictions provide legal actions, civil and/or criminal, to punish various kinds of defamation.

The common law origins of defamation lie in the torts of slander (harmful statement in a transitory form, especially speech) and libel (harmful statement in a fixed medium, especially writing but also a picture, sign, or electronic broadcast), each of which gives a common law right of action.

If you think you have a case, take them to court, otherwise, deal with it.
