Can you find what’s so outrageously offensive in the above ad? Well, duh… of course it’s got to be the puppy. This little guy is Rebel, a German Shepherd police dog “recruit” who’s been featured recently on police fliers in the Scottish town of Tayside. Now the Muslims in the nearby Dundee community are outraged because of how offensive and insensitive this ad is. Huh?

The advert has upset Muslims because dogs are considered ritually unclean and has sparked such anger that some shopkeepers in Dundee have refused to display the advert. Dundee councilor Mohammed Asif said: ‘My concern was that it’s not welcomed by all communities, with the dog on the cards.’

WTF? Are you kidding me? The West has quite a love for canines, and dogs have also found worthy service in many parts of our society. So if you don’t like it perhaps you should go eat dog crap. Any shopkeeper from that town that refuses to put up that sign should be sentenced to community service cleaning the police kennel.

Seriously, anyone offended by a puppy should kill themselves. Really.

A spokesman for Tayside Police said: ‘Trainee police dog Rebel has proved extremely popular with children and adults since being introduced to the public, aged six weeks old, as Tayside Police’s newest canine recruit.’

[...]

‘We did not seek advice from the force’s diversity adviser prior to publishing and distributing the postcards. That was an oversight and we apologise for any offence caused.’

Why is this wimp apologizing?! A puppy is not offensive… so if someone decides they are offended by it, who the heck cares? Good! I’m glad they are offended. Perhaps being offended will help them out… in a therapeutic way. Maybe I’ll draw a cartoon featuring Muhammad the Sheltie – it can be my weekly comic in their Sunday paper.

This whole brain-scraper is the typical, wreaking, leftist, multiculturalistic approach to social appeasement… bereft of any principles or logical thought. If you took their “tolerance” and “sensitivity” to its logical conclusion (oops, that takes thought) the town would ultimately have to remove all dogs, including police dogs, as to not offend any Muslims. After that all non-mosques would have to be torn down, too, because they are filled with infidel swine. Oh yeah… all pork products should be pulled from the store shelves.

You see… I’m spun up now.

Wal-Mart turns away helper dog
Mother says rights of her daughter were violated; retailer says store’s employees to receive training

Wednesday, October 4, 2006 Page: B1

ALBANY – Some parents choose to stay quiet about their child’s mental illness, but not Michell Schilling. She has worked hard to make sure her son, who suffers from schizoaffective disorder, and her daughter, who suffers from bipolar disorder, don’t feel stigmatized. She’s not afraid to talk about their conditions and spends time doing research to make sure they know about the best therapies. Now the Esperance woman is alleging that a manager at the Crossgates Commons Wal-Mart infringed on her daughter’s rights over the weekend by refusing them access to shop in the store with her child’s young psychiatric service dog.

[...]

Sounds pretty clear that this dog should have been let in, right? Well… as I read the story I learned that this “young psychiatric service dog” is just a little puppy that she carries around solely for her bipolar disorder. That’s right, the creature is her living cheer-up toy. This dog hasn’t been trained to do anything except be a puppy… but by virtue of being a cute, furry animal it serves as her “helper”. So this otherwise normal looking little Mrs. Hyde tries to waltz into Wal-Mart with her poor furry prisoner and (of course) gets stopped. So then the mother gets all upset at mean ‘ole Wal-Mart infringing on her hellion’s rights to have her therapeutic canine with her at all times.

Now, without being insensitive or misunderstanding the “disorder”, can I ask a question? Why the heck did they give some crazy bipolar chick a puppy?! Are they crazy? [pardon the pun] Somebody call Canine Protective Services! This reminds me of Darla in Finding Nemo (a psycho girl who is given fish and promptly shakes them to death). How many tantrums has this little dog endured? I wonder how far she can throw him… hmmm…? *ponders*

And to top off the lunacy of this whole thing… the employees are going to get training now. Sensitivity training. I am so sick of hearing about sensitivity. We are politically correct pansies that have been wussified by the leftist tolerance movement (which is ironically one of the least tolerant movements in existence). If anything… we are WAY TOO sensitive. We should be putting people through “insensitivity training”, so that we can arrest the über-tolerance that is decaying their brains. We can imbue insensitivity through a strict regimen of offensive behavior. The training would probably look like the boot camp scene at the beginning of Full Metal Jacket, except with more shooting and swearing. They’d have to complete special missions, too… like slipping pork products into potluck dishes at mosques… and setting up public nativity scenes made of veal cutlets.

Before I go, here’s another question. From the story above we see this same mother has a son with “schizoaffective disorder”. Would it infringe on his rights if Wal-Mart refused to let him buy five of an item marked “Limit 1 per customer”?
