"Gabe the Dog Rescued After Falling into Uncovered MANHOLE," Reports Local Kansas City News Outlets. Let's Clean Up the Language, People!







According to the linked report from 41 Action News late last week, "a black lab trapped inside an Olathe sewer was rescued Thursday night . . . after he fell into an uncovered manhole full of rushing water while being walked by his owner." The very same type of crass language was used on this story by other KC media outlets as well. Just awful...

As I've explained previously, this isn't 1985. The correct term is "person-hole" (or "sewer hole" if you prefer). What, only a dude can toil down inside a hole?

What gets my goat is the fact that these midget-minded media outlets still keep making this mistake. This kind of jive is worse than that stewardess broad in the old "Airplane" picture. I mean, I don't know why a good illegal immigrant would even want to come to this country when we've got a press that acts like this.

And while I've never fully understood why radical Islamic terrorists hate America so much, might just this sort of media behavior be a contributing factor? I'm as dumbfounded as a drunken hobo in a Georgia shithouse over here.
