I thought the US was less politically correct than the UK? I'm sure some
UK do-gooder (probably a psychologist or social worker) will moan about
it very, very soon though.

Did you know that in the UK, some councils have banned the use of the
word "obese"? No? It's true, we must now call them "very overweight"!

Very soon you won't be able to take a piss in this country without
filling out a form, letting Big Brother watch you with his cameras and
letting the Government know first.
