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

  • Some Latest Spinspeak Mintings for the Spinspeak II Supplement:

    earmarks=innocent-sounding congressional cosmeticspeak for vaguely related pork inserted into legislation on behalf of a legislator’s constituencies and/or “contributing” special interests.

    buzz marketing=adspeak for word of mouth promotion via paid talkers

    miscount=universal fuzzball for excusing deliberately slanted numerical reports as a simple mistake

    hedonic adaptation=psychobabble for rapid deterioration of happiness and return to general dissatisfaction after something good occurs in your life such as a raise in pay, a promotion or demise of a rich aunt.

    No One Here But Us Infidel-Hating Brits

    The foiled murder plot to blow up 10 airliners over American cities once again demonstrated how politically correct spinmeisters are aiding the Islamofascist War on Western Civilization.

    Although the British police had arrested 21 alleged terrorists, early on it was all but impossible to learn from the media that they were all Muslims dedicated to killing infidels at random.

    First the “suspected” would-be murderers were “young British Asians"(Chinese? Mongols?)…"British-born of Pakistani descent"(Cambridge grads?) … "British citizens with dual nationality."(Liechtenstein?) Then, they included several “pregnant women.” Then, when the Pakistani police began making arrests, the perps were reported to include “Kashmiri militants linked to al Qaeda.” Then some were Muslims after all but they were "white converts."

    Reuters and BBC were among the chief sufferers from the persistent myopia that makes it difficult to notice that all of these people are Muslims; and that they all think killing non-Muslims is a great idea.

    Reuters, which still can’t bring itself to use the word “terrorist,” also distinguished itself in recent days with a great display of lookspin in its coverage of the Hezbollah War. Reuters graphicmagic photography included adding extra smoke to bomb shots, pristine stuffed animals and play-dead actors among the dusty ruins and encore appearances on different dates of the same screaming motherly victim of Israeli bombs.

    Meantime, Iran has assured the world that Hezbollah terrorists are nothing more than “pious youths” out there achieving “God’s promises.”
