On what basis? It's legal, decent, and, in the sense that it's clearly

joking, honest and truthful.

 

Don't get me wrong, I hated it as well, though. It's an insult to

veggies, implying they are weak-willed. It reminds me of the " Yes,

Minister " Christmas special, which include a section on how naff

sausages were .

I think a complaint is valid: if the sign said " The sausage Jews fear most "

[ie cos it's made of pork] they'd get into a lot of trouble, and as we are a

group of people who don't consume a particular type of 'food' for our own

reasons - moral, ethical or otherwise - I think we have a case!

If it said " The sausage Muslims fear most " it might fare better though.

 

The fact is that Jews are an ethnic group, and ethnic groups get

protection that faith groups don't, and religions get protection that

other profoundly held beliefs don't .

 

What made me want to swear out loud in the supermarket recently was a

advertising sticker for a brand of milk - " So pure, the cows want it

back. " Of course they want it back ... they want to feed the calves that

were torn from their company and killed for meat!

What makes me want to swear out loud is the disgusting cartoon cow that

advertises Kellog's cereal & milk bars... You know, the one with the " milk

rifle " thing attached to its udders? That is so vile...

hmmm

don't have that ad around these here parts

tho, we have luverly commercials from the california dairy council, which talks

about " happy cows give happy milk " or some such bullpucky..my " fave " is a cow

remembering standing in a blizzard somewhere in the american midwest, and being

happier in california, i guess its better to have yer udders stuck in amachine

all day in california as opposed to ohio...
