But there is another challenge!

A Walsall Job Centre in England refused a job advert which had the phrase "hard-working and enthusiastic" because it could be deemed discriminatry.

Now admittedly I read it in the online version of the Birmingham Evening Mail yesterday (I can't get the back issue so can't reproduce it), which isn't your most enlightened rag, but it does seem to take "correctness" a bit too far!
