Wait, what?

Well, it just keeps getting better. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/florida-business-logo-sexist-152636699--finance.html
Florida tourism unveiled it's new slogan/logo today to entice companies to come to Florida to do business. The logo was pretty nice, it says "Florida" but the "i" is replaced with a tie. Cute. Or so you would think, but noooooooooo. That would be too simple. Can you guess what the immediate response was by some women's business groups in Florida? Yep, apparently ties are sexist, and men use them in advertising to purposely exclude women from the benefits that people bringing business to Florida might offer!
Yes, I kid you not. Several women complained that the tie was sexist and gives the impression that Florida does not want to do business with women. Forget the fact that thousands of companies in Florida are run or owned by women, forget that this is the 21st century and I think if you are an enterprising individual who is looking to start or expand your business you will not see a tie in an ad and think "well, looks like I can only contact the men of Florida," what really confuses me is why do these people think women can't wear ties??
Have they not watched Cinemax, or spike TV? Let me tell you, I have seen some women wear the HELL out of a tie. Granted that was ALL they were wearing but still. Did we go through a time warp back to the 50's and no one told me? Why are there people thinking that ties only pertain to men in this day and age?
So what does this all tell us? Okay, so apparently everything is offensive to everyone. We should no longer advertise, write or speak words, make jokes, write cartoons, leave our house, look at each other, breath too loudly, and support or oppose any idea because we might in some way upset someones delicate nature.http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/florida-business-logo-sexist-152636699--finance.html
To be fair, several women did come to the aid of normalcy and state that they thought the emotionally wounded were big cry babies, but still, it has come the attention of the world and the more the media gives it coverage the more people will feel they are entitled to be disgruntled about being left out, left behind, or left over somehow. It's all so painful, I think I should sue someone for making me think too much.
Okay, I'm done whining for now....off to read about the 2nd grader who was suspended from school for throwing a "make believe grenade" in to an "imaginary box of bad guys."  Oh what a world, what a world indeed.http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/2nd-grader-suspended-over-imaginary-grenade-224740937.html
