* In an episode of ''[[You Know What's Bullshit?]]'', [[James Rolfe]] explains how people used to say "Merry Christmas", then [[The Ditz|someone]] decided the phrase was offensive to people who did not celebrate Christmas and pushed to replace it with "Happy Holidays", then people complained that not being able to say "Merry Christmas" was offensive to them... in conclusion, James suggested to replace all those phrases with "Happy Shut The Fuck Up".
* [[Seanbaby]] enlisted Frosty the Snowman to combat the War on Christmas in [http://www.cracked.com/blog/frosty-snowman-declares-war-war-christmas/ this comic] from Cracked. What Frosty learns in his quest is '''A:''' the people whining about how offensive and exclusionary the word "Christmas" is are doing so on behalf of people who don't exist, and '''B:''' just let them whine, because Christmas is the most unkillable cultural achievement since pornography and it's not going anywhere.
* This is inverted by [[Moviebob]] in his Big Picture video [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/2783-Correctitude "Correctitude"], where he claims that it's political ''in''correctness that's gone mad. More specifically, he feels that "PC" has been turned into a [[The War On Straw|strawman]] by people trying to defend their sexism and bigotry.
