The Shaking-My-Head, Not-a-Christmas-Post, Post

I understand that it's not past Thanksgiving yet, but this isn't really a Christmas post.  It's an "I can't believe the lengths some PC people will go to to pander to the religion of peace" post.  Are you ready for this?

The British Red Cross has banned Christmas from its fund-raising shops.  All 430 of them.  Because any celebration of the Christian holy day could offend Muslims.  For real.

This PC nonsense is so dumbfounding that it sucks all the oxygen out of the room.

I mean, seriously, their name is the Red CROSS!  You know, like the cross where Christ was crucified.

(The organization's symbol is a red cross on a white field, the inverse of the Swiss flag, where the International Red Cross was formed and is headquartered.  The Swiss flag's cross has its roots buried deeply in Christianity.  Shoot -- the crescent is used in arabic countries' flags and symbols, not to mention for the Red Crescent, and in arabic countries pretty much everything carries some sort of religious connotation.)

So, the fund-raising stores can't display Christmas trees or creches, but they can certainly sell Christmas cards to make a profit.  I wonder if they have to store the Christmas cards behind the counter like porn magazines.  Sheesh, give me a break.  I guess soon we need to be prepared for this:

Sorry. This whole thing has Moogie feeling rather peckish.

For Your Post-apocalyptic Needs

Since it's already Sunday in New Zealand, I suppose we can assume that the Rapture has been put on hold for now.

That's a good thing for many reasons, but especially for the additional time we will now have to register our left-behind pets for post-apocalyptic care.

For real. See AfterTheRapturePetCare.com.

This thing reads like a Saturday Night Live skit. (The video is really reminiscent of SNL videos from days gone by!)

I especially like the "Frequently Asked Questions" section. The one question I'd like to ask, though, is whether we can trust all these volunteer pet-care-givers? I'm just sayin'.

People are actually sending money to these folks! Sheesh.
