I Love my Job

In my Ethics of Biotechnology class today, we read through a couple of
articles talking about "Playing God". One of them was "Genetic
Trespassing" by Mira Foung (hey, idiocy deserves to be recognized just
as much and often as intelligence; we need a good laugh) and included
the sort of politically correct buzzwords that make me want to slam my
head on the desk in front of me repeatedly. Instead of subjecting
myself to a headache that not even Motrin can cure, I instead played
the PC version of "Bullshit Bingo" (inspired by
this image: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y194/Jenny_Wildcat/Bingo.jpg). And I won.
*side note: I hope I did the hyperlinking right...*
Here's what I came up with:
- diverse, diversity
- planetary encroachment
- threatens biodiversity
- bizarre combinations
- chemical corporate giants (the same corporates that brought you the widespread Internet that allows these sorts of morons to publish their "arguments", I might add)
- living planet, living Earth
- short term profits
- nature's independent work
- end of nature
- anything with "nature"
- genetic trespassing
- ECO-VEGETARIAN DIET (it was written in all caps in the book)
- owe it to Mother Nature
- boycott
- organic produce
- billions of years
- commercial exploitation
- hope to other creatures
- survival of the future
- ill fate of the planet
- limit our numbers
- global crisis
- wasteful consumer
- some cutesy thing about "daisies of the field" (it was kinda long)
So, kids, tell all your parents about the new hit of the board game aisle. Soon to be marketed by Milton-Bradley, it's Bullshit Bingo. It's educational and shows disdain for the institutions that people come up with to give their lives meaningful. In stores soon.
