What about MY feelings? I'm offended by...
 

"The world today is absolutely crackers..." sang Eric Idle. And that was 20 something years before stupid shit like this:

Plastic pig banned from UK toy set for fear of offending Jews, Muslims


I, personally, am offended by farms in general. And don't even get me started about tractors and farm equipment. I want that shit out of my toy farm set.

WTF? Their religion tells them not to eat pork. Where does it say they can't play with a pig (toy or otherwise)?

I'm against most farm equipment. Esp. combines. nasty fukkers - you could lose your arm.

I don't eat horses or tractors, they must be removed. And the farmer, although Mrs Farmer can stay.

zactly

My religion forbids me from eating cars, but yet I see a toy car in the latest Happy Meal.

I love me some boobies. I want them added to the farm set. Waaaaah!:sniff:

Not to mention her three lovely daughters...

what about toy dogs? pound puppies, etc. all offensive! ban them! ban them, I say!

Strictly speaking, I'm pretty sure their religion says they can't even touch a pig, which is where the question of touching a fake pig might come into play. It's still a stupid question, mind you, and a stupid PR ploy for them to claim they are trying not to offend Jews or Muslims, since not once in the history of the UK has any member of the Jewish population complained about a toy pig. Which just goes to show that, like most of these types of problems, it's not a religious issue at all, but a cultural one.

The story oringated with The Sun newspaper.
This is a newspaper that has a Stunner on page 3 everyday - yes, the girls with bare titties.
It's known for inflammatory headlines and stories that burn out like a damp squib once investigated.

Interestingly, the article concludes:
That's quite a different kettle of gefilte fish.

Talk about burning out like a damp squib, way to throw a wet blanket on our righteous moral outrage.

OK folks, the thread's over. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Doncha just hate it when they do the right thing.........

Yeah, the right thing...

"Well, if you don't like the damn pig, fuck you, you don't get shit."

Oooooooooo. It's a modern day version of Fiddler on the Roof.

In the UK it's PC gone mad..
every official authority, schools or whatever seems to have lost all common sense on the basis that you must not offend anyone at anytime.
That's why schools now don't celebrate Christmas it's "Winter Festival".
But the best story that was in a local paper was about a book shop in Edinburgh old town which sells second hand old childrens books and they has this one in the window, which someone complained about and two police officers were sent to the shop to warn that although the book was written in the 30's and was no way racist a complaint was made and would the owner of the shop refrain from displaying the book in the window.
