Why apologize? Why are people such wusses?

Monday, if you watched Wheel of Fortune you saw that one of the puzzles was "The Fast and the Furious". This article goes on to say that Wheel of Fortune went "scrambling" to apologize and explain itself. Really? Why? It's on odd coincidence yes, but why apologize? The puzzle wasn't Paul Walker is a bad driver" or "Sure hope the star of a street racing franchise doesn't die in a crash - too late" or anything like that.
I don't get it, why apologize.

Really? wow.

Honestly, it's probably a good thing to be offended by something or someone once in a while. Helps keep the skin nice and thick.

fpc. I think I need to make a new "race team". FPC Racing.

Wheel of Fortune knew it was going to happen. You didn't really think the shows' name was picked by happenstance, did you? Pat Sajak has powers none of us will ever understand.

Pussification of America has made media and corporations walk on egg shells.

The article I read earlier, "Five Reasons To Be Glad Paul Walker Is Dead" is a different story. Bitch who wrote that deserves all the torment she gets.

I hope after I'm dead, people can share a laugh about my life. No funeral, no wake, just a party with the beer on me.

I'm gonna hit the NOS, drop a floor pan and do some damage to the manifold in his memory.

A few years ago a friend of mine was killed when someone crossed the center line and hit him head on while he was riding his motorcycle. We did just that. We had a party celebrating his life. It sure beat any funeral I've ever been to.

I wouldn't have believed that until I googled the article.

WTF

A casket that doubles as a bar, brilliant.

Pat Sajak said: I would like to apologize for offending you with our apology.

I think we live in a world of no shame and idiocy, obviously there is a lot of media attention around PW, so why not throw in the movie title. Oops our mistake now are ratings will go up, because we made a mistake then we apologized.

So body shots are out of the question?

This isn't PC, just excessive sensitivity, although there is some overlap between the two.

^THIS^

Any exposure is good exposure to a marketing team. More clicks means a higher google index, no matter if it's retarded - just say something to bring the numbers up so we can sell advertising!

It's not like that was a live show and they threw in the movie name to get attention, it was probably filmed 2 months ago.

"FPC/Thick Skin racing. Don't like what I have to say? berkeley off."

the show was filmed 10-4-13 IIRC from the earlier article I read.

Where do you think the sensitivity came from? PC is ruining us.

PC's not all bad. I can get behind trying not to use bigoted and hurtful language. But there's nothing remotely political, mean or personally hurtful about a phrase which happens to be the name of a movie starring a guy who died recently coming up as a Jeopardy challenge.

PC is BS. Why? Because no matter what you say/do, someone, somewhere at sometime will be offended by it. So people need to sack up, learn to deal and go on with life. Live your life, I'll live mine and leave me the F alone.

In reply to Bobzilla:

I'm offended that you think I'll be offended.

By that logic we should just call everyone by the worst slurs imaginable at all times if we please, because we can't put an end to all feelings of being offended.

Edit: Also sounds like "Having laws sucks because we can't eliminate all crime anyway."

ANARCHY!!!!

That might be a possible way to read what I wrote, if I hadn't said this:

Which states that people need to ggrow a thicker skin and move on with life, leaving one another alone. No where did I state anything vaguely resembling what you stated and to say otherwise is not only ridiculous, but an insult to other people's intelligence.

That is bass ackwards. If you eliminate the laws then there are no crimes. It's quick and effective solution to lowering the crime rate to zero. I'm not sure why no one has embraced it.

Oh. And berkeley all of you corksuckers.
