Poland Petitions for Political Correctness at Auschwitz
Dateline Warsaw, Poland - July 13, 2006
Keeping with the polictially correct atmosphere that is
bringing the world closer to Orwellian dystopia, the Polish
government has petitioned the World Heritage Organization to
rename the world's most famous WWII landmark, Auschwitz. In
what Polish officials have said is an attempt to distinguish
that the camp itself was not of Polish creation, they have
asked for the camp to be renamed as "The Former Nazi German
Concentration Camp of Auschwitz".
After a controversial vote of high ranking Polish officials,
this name was chosen over more popular names as "Club
Friendship", and "The Result of Fighting Armored Divisions
with Horse-Mounted Cavalry".
"As citizens of Poland, we are tired of being associated with
what went on at Auschwitz," said Hans Liepzieg a spokesman for
the Auschwitz Historical Society, "I mean, not to say that
there was anything inherently wrong with Nazis. Really, the
Nazis were a peace-loving people, they just went about it
in an unconventional manner. Further, who are we to
condemn them as genocidal maniacs? But in the end, if people
want to believe this, then we'd rather they realize that it was
the dirty Germans over there who did this. Please, forget
Poland."
In response, President George W. Bush remarked that, "while
I firmly understand the reasoning behind this, there is one thing
I wish to express to the citizens of the world: Do not
misunderestimate the power of words, and don't forget Poland."
In the wake of this request, petitions were filed on behalf of
numerous other organizations requesting similar name changes.
Among them, the terrorist detention center at Gitmo will be
renamed "The American Experience: Qur'an Watersports Live!",
China's Cultural Revolution is to become "China's Golden Age of
Enlightenment", and the Pacific Theatre of WWII as "Dude,
Where's My A-Bomb".

Correctness, I dare ya!
