The location at which you can see the ad is:
nikegolf.com (Use Google or something similar)
When the web page comes up,
Hit Nike Golf
On next page, hit launch the site
Go to bottom of next page, hit News,Ads and More
Then hit ads
Two choices will come up, hit Clean Up etc. You will see ad.
I know there is a direct connection to this ad too, however
the code for this is super big, and sometimes it does not work.
Doing it this longer way always works. You might contact the
Epilepsy Foundation in your state and make them aware of it
too. I have contacted here in New York Good luck.

I couldn't get any further than that ...

Aw, c'mon. I hate golf, but can't we just smile at ourselves once in a
while? It's not intentionally malicious or denigrating.

Or has the world become so obsessed with political correctness that all
jokes and humour will be banned?

Amen. IMHO political correctness has just gone too far. Sooner or later the
world will be so PC we can't utter a word out of fear that we'll offend
somebody...

Hi,

I can see both points of view on this one, but as Charlie says the world is
getting a little too PC. I was even told the other day that I shouldn't say
that I have had a fit - the correct term is now "seizure". I pointed out
that it was me having them and I'd call the ******* thing what I wanted.

I agree Rick.
I call mine all sorts of things depending on my mood at the time. I've had a
few people look at me strangely when I've informed my wife I was feeling
like I would soon have a "mental fit". When I was a kid I used to call them
"twirly whirlies", because that was how they felt. But now I'm an adult I
guess I should use more mature terminology like
"spin-around-in-circles-screaming-hysterically-out-of-controlly-thingees".
Wonder if that's PC?

Darryl.

Hi Darryl,

I don't expect that it's strictly PC - you will probably be accused of
speaking detrimentally about "thingees" or even worse "thingist!"

Keep smiling

It's certainly no more mature :-)
