Stop the PC scourge

A man (Barack Obama, arguably the most powerful man in the world) complements a woman on her good looks, and is forced to apologise, (Irish Examiner, April 8).

Seemingly, she is considering whether or not to accept his apology.

This is political correctness gone ape. Truly, PC is a toxic ailment which almost certainly originated in the USA from some socio/political mutation, and is spread by contagion.

Someone urgently needs to develop a vaccine against it to prevent the Earth’s population from being engulfed by this awful plague.
