Via Ohgizmo, I see that you can buy a tie with a picture of a rope on it (it’s actually a picture of a rope, not a hangman’s noose) that’s meant to symbolize how many people feel about wearing a necktie.
Aha, I thought, won’t that be … insensitive? Well, the first commenter on the Ogizmo post said:
Nooses should not be joked about at all, at least in the U.S. where we have a grave history of lynching that still effects [sic] us today.[Neck Noose Sums Up How A Lot Of People Feel About Neck Ties]
What is affecting us seems to be hysteria. The last actual lynching in the United States took place in the 1960s. Being lynched is more unlikely than being killed in a duel. People need to get a grip on themselves, and maybe get some "Insensitivity Training."
