Exposing Deliberate Pollution of the English Language: Spinspeak Rots the Mind.

“Bury forever what some Neanderthals call the language of reality. We know that breeds nothing but envy and hate and fear and conflict. Bring home the language of happiness. We know that brings all of us together in a great multi-cultural bouillabaisse...”

--Spinmeister-in-Chief Marvin Runnymede, Ultimate Severance

“Too bad about his terrible accident. Always hard on da family.”

--Mobster Joey “the Boy” Lasagna, Ultimate Severance

Le Spin Continues

Not unexpectedly, as Muslim arsonists continued to burn down cities throughout France, the government plunged further into linguistic antics to deny identifying the enemy.

The Muslims, since so many are young second and third generation immigrants, are now widely referred to in the French media and by government officials and their flacks as “French youths.” Possibly Huguenots, oui? Hard to say.

Meantime, Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy is being blamed by the “French youths” and the government for the continued rioting for calling the “French youths” thugs and scum.
