Annals of PC: The Problems of Pussy Riot and Hole



It’s lucky there are bands with names like Pussy Riot and Courtney Love’s Hole. You may be ticketed by the forces of political correctness on a liberal college campus for saying “pussy” or even “hole” unless you’re a spelunker looking for a cave. But no one's going to stop you from saying the name of a band that has stood up to Putin. But there's a certain unwieldiness  to wearing a helmet every time you say "hole" and it can be disconcerting to have to intone “Pussy Riot,” ever time you want to use the word “pussy.” For instance the most horrible thing that a male or female could possible do is to praise a woman’s genitalia by saying “you have a nice pussy” and no one would dare say "here pussy pussy" to a cat anymore since the very words might be misinterpreted with the evidence eventually used against you. On the other hand imagine having to say “you have a nice pussy riot,” every time you find yourself enjoying your friend’s pet. It’s like having to carry that extra piece of baggage that breaks the camel’s back. Say you’d like to place a phallus in someone hole, who wants to be coerced into making it Courtney’s Love’s hole? Even if it might be true, it may be more literally than politically incorrect.
