I think it's about time we got rid of "Men at Work" signs.

I mean, "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now" were solid singles, and to have both hit number one on the US charts was a big deal for a little Australian band's first US release (Business as Usual, which went quintuple platinum!), but that was 1982, for crying out loud!

It's time to move on.

I guess we'll soon be seeing Procter and Gamble getting sued over their "S p i c 'n Span" products.

Waging a PC war is certainly one way to put a c h i n k in a corporation's financial armor.

Golly gee, did you know Nostradamus?

Why do you thank that many American based corporations have taken their business "off shore"? PC alert! OP used the derisive term "C h i n k" and I'm just your basic "Whitebread cracker"!

Ahh..., the "good old days" of "person holes", "personing" (in place of manning) and "braless feminists", if only we could return to those days of relatively quiet insanity!

Well, in one well known instance they "gave in" to feminist "freaks" and gave them (Y O U )the right to vote.

I guess it would be OK if the signs said "White People at Work"

Yes and that is so similar to this situation? Give me a break, to compare the 2 is insulting

What's the big deal? Women do all kinds of work now they didn't used to do including work as electricians, line workers, sewer workers, ironworkers, boilermakers, carpenters etc. If they don't want to be referred to as men that's their business and not the business of a bunch of crabby crybabies.

Some things ARE politically correct.
