I suppose it could be offensive to Phillipinos if you staple them together, stuck them on a tripod and drew all over them with felt tip pens, but somehow that would be unlikely.
What next? Not being able to use the word Finish, icase it upsets people that live in a Scandanavian country that borders Russia? :roll:

My son got told off at school for saying that he'd had a brainstorm. The teacher went mad cos it's offensive to epilectics.
Chris- no it is'nt !!
Teacher- It is and how would you know you are'nt epilectic.
Chris- Yes I am.
Pandemonium in class as the teacher was the only one who did'nt know.
This pc world is going mad.

When I did a plod trainers course in Manchester, a mate of mine got a piece of 'constructive feedback' from the staff, as he had used the word queery in the following context.
"If any of you have any problems or queeries with that last topic, come and talk to me afterwards, and I'll explain it"
Apparently the use of the word 'query','may have been' offensive to any homosexuals, lesbians, bi-sexuals, or transgender persons who may have been in the audience.
Needless to say, no one complained, and the only people who took issue with it were the ultra PC trainers.
Crazy!
