SO I KNOW THIS GUY WHO WORKS FOR THIS PLACE...

Given the potential for blogs to get people fired, all names have been changed to protect the innocent. If you know Bob please be nice and don't use his real name in your comments.
This is a spooky story about the P.C. Police. The P.C. Police steal all your yummy Halloween treats and leave you turds. Turds that don't stink, but turds nonetheless.
I know this guy, call him Bob, he works for this company, call it BIG. Bob designs products. BIG asked Bob to design a product with a Halloween theme. "GREAT!" said Bob, brain-storming with friends and collegues on the variety of scary, spooky, images they could use.
When Bob returned with his ideas. BIG, without thought or consideration for his creativity or hard work, called the PC POLICE. Bob was officially forbidden to use the following images, for the following reasons:

witches, offensive to Wiccans.
zombies, ghosts, mummies, skulls, skeletons etc.. offensive to those sensitive to issues surrounding death.
movie monsters, copyright issues.
black cats, represent superstition ( my guess is this has something to do with condoning belief...?)

Whats left? Pumpkins, leaves, and candy corn.
Unless, of course you're from the Candy Corn Coalition, or the Society for the Preservation of the Memory of our Fallen Leaves.
This bullshit has nothing to do with who's going to be offended and everything to do with who could sue. Witches and ghosts are pussies compared to lawyers.
