Take a photo where your subject, your title (or both), are politically incorrect.
Advanced Editing
Take this however you want - a politician speaking in public by default is political incorrectness since what they say is not the truth, or check out any number of sites online for other policially incorrect ideas.
to quote a definition of political correctness:
...is the communal tyranny that erupted in the 1980s. It was a spontaneous declaration that particular ideas, expressions and behavior, which were then legal, should be forbidden by law, and people who transgressed should be punished. (see Newspeak) It started with a few voices but grew in popularity until it became unwritten and written law within the community. With those who were publicly declared as being not politically correct becoming the object of persecution by the mob, if not prosecution by the state.

Meeting this challenge means pissing people off?
Not a bad idea I suppose but not sure how fun it will be walking that tightrope.
Howsabout "meme" ?
Much more vague but equally able to get the creative juices flowing. Maybe allow added text. |

fair enough, if the SC deems it too volatile then lock and no feelings hurt here :)
I just figured i'd throw an idea out that i'd never seen posted here before (at least, not that i can ever remember seeing here).
Also figured, if we're upsetting everybody, then really nobody can be upset because it's about pushing the envelope a bit on being told "society says you can't do this because someone might be offended...not that it's WRONG, but you might make someone upset".
Which is also why i did include the link to some nonsensical PC items (not something like a 3rd trimester pregnant woman walking into an abortion clinic, or an african-american hand sticking out of a car window with a gun and calling it "wednesday in the bronx"). those, yes, will push the wrong buttons, but our society has become so whipped that people are afraid to even speak their mind in dissent to an obviously stupid PC push (the BC no longer means Before Christ thing, or the "you can't use hard working and motivated in a job title because you will offend lazy people" PC crap).
Anyways, i'm trying to push the envelope, not buttons, and i won't be offended by being told "no". :)
(For the record, when I thought of this, my entry was going to be either a printed out divorce paper with christmas lights around it, and a hand signing the bottom line; titled "Merry Ex-Mas", or a bunch of eggs with "bad/angry" faces drawn on them and a cracker looking afraid, titled "Cracka...you bes' be steppin' away").
and i'm going to take my own advice from that last line and step away from this entirely unless it does end up in the challenge queue(at which point i need to get to work on making sure i enter something good in this). |

Yeah - I've never seen an egg that was a sphere so not only is that politically correct, but it's also, INcorrect.

Still from the days where a screw actually meant a screw...

| Can we have a racism challenge? People always put it down but there is a lot of fun to be had with racism if you think about it. |

Oh I'm with you, sistah! I hate having to muzzle myself, simply because someone might take offense. Not that I go around using racial slurs or dropping the f-bomb like there's no tomorrow. But overall there's just so much mollycoddling going on these days, all to ensure nobody's feelings are hurt, that it gets pretty insane at times.
And I have the perfect subject in mind...should this go through! |

 Creo que el racismo y los estereotipos raciales son ofensivos.

It should be a stereotype challenge. Not racism. White ppl cant dance or jump, asians driving, blacks eating chicken n kool-aid, mexicans mowing lawns, or a type of person like nerds, jocks, preps, etc.. I could go for days lmao

it's not just about race or religion or what people preconceive, it's about what the vocal minority (in many cases) of society says we shouldn't do (and try to make into Can't do). keep in mind that the site's ToS state what can and cannot be entered as far as pushing buttons go, and the SC will be paying strict attention (i'm sure) if this ever gets picked from the list, so be P.I., but don't be a jerk.
