Equal opportunities gone absolutely mad!!

Something I read over the weekend really, does highlight how completely stupid some of the employment guidelines are in the equal opportunity rules.
Firstly take one airport - St Mary's on the Scilly Isles. Not a major one, but it still has 120 flights a day flying to and from the airport. So a busy provincial airport.
Then the job vacancy - Air Traffic Controller. Simple enough you would think - must have experience of air traffic control, reading all the inbound and outbound flights and controlling the airspace.
Enter equal opportunities.......
This latest job application has to be sent out in Braille as well as paper form!!! So, an airport which revolves around computer screens, and up to the minute online readings, has to be prepared to consider blind people for the role of an Air Traffic Controller!!!  You couldn't make that up if you tried!!

While I applaud companies for integrating blind individuals into the workplace with some creativeness, I am sorry, but has anyone in the equal opportunities even thought of the possible implications here??

When will these idiots who write these equal opportunity guidelines actually get a life and get out into the real world? Then, and only then, will they realise that the tosh they write has no sense of reality in the workplace!

If you know any other stupid examples, then of course please do share them.
