Political correctness going out of control. No matter what anyone does these days, someone else will be offended or claim it's racist/sexist/ageist/etc.

Know what I thought when I saw that commercial? "Oh, they're going Mr. Bill/Gumby old school. Stupid ad". Know what some overly PC moron with delicate sensibilities that are too easily offended saw? "That's racist, man!"

Whatever.

Things have really gotten so out of control, and so over the top. There is that one person, who will make something out of nothing it could be the most innocent of things, and they will choose to see it differently.

Some people get offended over the stupidest of things. I must be made tougher, nothing seems to bother me. Unless it is something that truly warrants getting upset over.
