Spanish Coca-Cola nativity scene. Black Jesus :shock:

Are you a Muslim? - simply replace Jesus with a bottle of Sunni Delight :thumleft:

Greggs the bakery company replaced Jesus with a sausage roll in their nativity. This caused worldwide offence to Christian's everywhere.

Christians are a very thin-skinned crowd indeed. I'm tempted to post the meme of S Fry Esq. saying "you are offended, so fuc'king what?" instead I'll simply observe that it must be handy they are so thin-skinned when you want to crucify one, especially if you are not lucky enough to have acquired Paddy Murphy's Nails.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Well feick me, can you picture the scenes if they'd put out a similar add for Ramalamadan. There'd be puff pastries burning across the country. At least they'd have to leave the sausage rolls and jambons alone, feickers are afraid to touch the tasty stuff.

I'd trust a Mosssssssssssssssslem to go and do a few messages and bring back the right change more than the Orangeman in charge of the White House & environs.

The "Freedom Association" is offended that folk have the freedom to engage in some light-hearted feckology related to Christmas. Now that is funny.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

The Rev Mark Edwards, of St Matthew’s church in Dinnington and St Cuthbert’s church in Brunswick, said Greggs had been disrespectful. He told the Newcastle-based Chronicle: “It goes beyond just commercialism, it’s showing a total disregard and disrespect towards one of the greatest blatant lies ever told, and I think people of all faiths will be offended by this.”
For the record, I am not offended by this outrageously crass commercial stunt which in all likelihood was put together to attract public attention and obtain free publicity for their "advent calendar" product. The cynic in me doffs my duncher to their brass neck.

Feck all to see here, like Ryanair, I've never used Greggs services, nor Ashers for that matter. :D

For the record: I am offended by it.

And I count Greggs as being on a par with UNHCR and the Red Cross for their humanitarian, life-saving work. (Especially the Cardiff branch on the occasion of Ireland's grand slam)

Yes good point. They wouldn't deny you a gay sausage roll either.

How they managed to keep stocks up was testament to proper planning and crisis management

I'd have thought a sausage roll was gay by definition :lol:
