slacker Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Irregular News for 03.30.07 Scotland -- A Scottish company has been slammed for inviting customers to "send a poo" to an Englishman on St George's Day. Edinburgh-based firm PostaPoo.com is selling plastic "realistic poo" to send to "your favourite (or least favourite) Englishman" to mark April 23. Customers are given the choice between human or dog-style excrement, wrapped in tissue paper along with a personal message set beside the English flag. But members of the English Democrats Party, which is campaigning for an English Parliament, questioned the stunt's legality. Robin Tilbrook, the party's national chairman, said: "The company's website says they will not send this so-called 'practical joke' if the message is deemed threatening, racist, homophobic, or displays religious bigotry. "It appears to me to be threatening, possibly racist and without question bigoted. It's certainly offensive and possibly an offence." The novelty firm offers the service, with prices starting at £4.99, all year round and claims to prove popular with disgruntled customers and ex-partners seeking revenge. The firm's joint owner Niall Methven, who set up the company around 18 months ago, said it "never even crossed his mind" that the scheme could be perceived as racist. He insisted he has not had any complaints from customers or recipients. source Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 That's pretty damn funny. Given the history between Great Briton and Scotland, I can see the appeal (think of the movie Braveheart). Quote Link to comment
