Muggeridge's law is the proposition that it no longer possible to parody political correctness because real political correctness is now just as ridiculous as the satirical version. Malcolm Muggeridge was the editor of the British satirical magazine Punch in the early 1960s. When Nikita Khrushchev visited Britain, Muggeridge made up a list of the silliest places the Soviet leader could visit. At least half the places on the list were in Khrushchev's actual itinerary.
