Showing it up

5 Chinese Crackers demonstrates a good dissection of Chinese Whispers (can we still call that) on the media's coverage of that good game the 'banning of Christmas' special.

Fun how despite their disgust for this political correctness they still tip-toe around other religions; so just for fun I decided to make some mental substitutions, changing the religions for other 'faiths' that nobody seems to mind slagging off.

Ban Silly Walk Day

Reports have been made that many councils up and down the country are banning Silly Walk Day on the grounds of health and safety. Flibbert town council are refusing to provide police officers to escort Silly Walkers along routes that have been used for hundreds of years. "It's ridiculous" said one Pythonian "We've been doing this for years and now they say we can't as they won't provide any assistance". This decision by Flibbert town council has provoked outrageous amongst the predominately Pythonian community "They provided escorts for the Klingonians 'March of Honour'" said one resident "and they allowed the Potterites to put up all those lights on Albus Day, but they're ignoring us".

Many are complaining that the council are simply pandering to minority faiths and ignoring the dominant Pythonian religion of this country. "I don't mind people in cloaks telling me that 'These aren't the droids I'm looking for' so long as they don't object to our monologues on Spam"

(with nods to Not the Nine O'Clock News)

For anyone else wanting to play I use Pythonians for Christians, Klingonians for Muslims, Potterites for Hindus, Xenacites for Seikhs, and Jedi for Jews, but you know feel free to improvise.
