Hola amigos:
Estamos empezando la quincena de NAVIDAD-AÑO NUEVO-REYES. *
Alberto di Bene propone esa bonita felicitación para espíritus
cautelosos
que no quieran herir sensibilidades.
Divertido es ver a los límites que nos lleva la tontería de la moda al
uso.
Más divertida aun es si ese texto lo pasamos por un traductor automático. Lo
que queda es inefable.
Abrazos a todos. MANOLO
* (Disfrutamos en España de dos semanas, en vez de los demás, que sólo
tienen una, y todavía hay quién se queja).
================================================================
Given that saying Merry Christmas is now considered disrespectful of the
"sensitivity" (...) of some classes of human
beings, this year I will use the following formula :
---------------------------------------
Approved Holiday Greeting
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an
environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive,
gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within
the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or
secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular
persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice
religious or secular traditions at all... And a fiscally successful,
personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset
of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect
for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to
society have helped make America/your Country of choice great, (not to imply
that
America/your Country of choice is necessarily greater than any other
country), and
without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious
faith,
or sexual preference of the wishee.
By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is
subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no
alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to
actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void
where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the
wisher.
This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application
of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a
subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited
to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion
of the wisher.
