Down near Detroit on I-75, exit 69 is Big Beaver Raod. I actually saw that road sign in a music video once.

No, this is petty, and I'm seriously fed up with the PC reactionaries. Pretty soon we're going to be in a culture where everyone walks on eggshells. It makes me really miss George Carlin.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Those ableists in Cripple Creek, Colorado need to stop being so complacent. I'ma boycott CO until that town becomes PWD Creek.

Fuckin' A. 

I am sick and tired of people being offended by shit, especially innocuous stuff like this.

Fuck this, fuck them. Fuck everything.

I wonder what they would make of the Bavarian city of "Tuntenhausen", which literally translates into Faggotville.

There has also been a gropecunt lane in Oxford. Wonder why they renamed that one.

It is bad grammar for what they originally intended with it.  It should have been "Bangay's Way," not "Bangays Way."  Everyone who cares about grammar should be displeased with the original name.  Are those who name things there illiterate fools?

Yeah, my wife told me about this! What a load of shite. Why are they pandering to a couple of imbeciles? There is nothing to be offended about.

OMFG how did they get away with these? "Bitchfield" I don't care where on Earth that is, I want to live there just for the novelty of saying "I live on Bitchfield road!"

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
