Outback Steakhouse, a restaurant that seeks to honor the flavors and cooking of Australia (whether they succeed or not is another story), has caved to the pressure of AB-solute morons.
On their menu they have an item called an Ab-Original, a play on the word Aboriginal. This, of course, triggered AB-ject morons who took to Twitter and called it…. yawn…. RACIST! (Soon it will be racist for white people to refer to any other ethnicity, no matter what they say. Looking at them may soon be deemed racist.)
This is AB-surd enough, but what sends this story into orbit is that Outback has completely acquiesced to the perpetually offended and tongue-bathed them in a press release, almost sounding afraid.
“We’re inspired by the Australian culture. Out of respect for it, we will stop using the term immediately in our digital marketing materials and will remove it from our online and restaurant menus as soon as possible.”

ABsurd idiocy.
The last time we ate at an Outback Steakhouse was in Ft. Lauderdale. It was outrageously overpriced for what we ordered. We both said “we won’t step foot back into an Outback Steakhouse.” This article seals the deal.
Recognizing a Race of Ancient and Mysterious People, who most kid’s would do well to have knowledge of such a people !
These are humans who lead a bizarrely different type of life , and I see nothing wrong with recognizing them … They’d be Honored !
Oh Crap ! I did’nt put that together well .
This is really brilliant marketing strategy. To show unity with the NFL, they should serve Filet Nignon.
Maybe get Corey Booker to endorse their T-Bone.

Have any authentic aborigines complained? If not, shut the fuck up.
“We’re sorry we upset the AB normals who complained to us, and we won’t do it again.”
[Discreet reference to Young Frankenstein (1974)]
Australian Aborigines are just another brown skin culture plagued by out of control violence, rape, and child abuse…. Sound familiar?

I miss the edit button. My first comment was a brain spasm. Didn’t realize I got the idea for my attempt at smartness from BFH’s brilliance till after I posted! (Despite having just read it.) Even just reading about PC ABominations is making me dumber!
What’s this “soon” you speak of.
We’re there.
In pre-indoor plumbing days, “out back” was where you went to go to the toilet. You know – the little wooden house with the Sears Roebuck catalog hanging on the wall? Or in really rural areas, a bushel basket of corn cobs instead.

One of the original co-owners was former military and they used to cater to the military fifteen years ago. We did all our parties up in Bremerton with them as caters for military events. Back then, it was damn good food and cheep that we paid for.
I don’t know what it is now, other than expensive.
Their Bloomin’ Onion looks like a baboon’s ass. And it tastes like one too. Not that I would know. 😘

If they really wanted authentic aboriginal food they’d throw some feces in it.
“We will redouble our efforts!”
“See that you do.”
