Politically Incorrect Alphabet

Well, I missed this when it surfaced in October 2005, but the politically incorrect alphabet by UK designer Mark Jones is an interesting exercise. Even if you're not into the PC thing, it's worth a look for the iconographic illustrations—are they entirely successful? I like that he was inspired to do this by the realization that "I for Indian" (as in Native American) was no longer an acceptable alphabetical option... my high school mascot was the Indian, believe it or not (it's been changed since—go Lions), so I'm suddenly twitching with misguided nostalgia for less sensitive times...
