Hanukkah Hams! Get 'em while they last!
A posh food store in New York's Greenwich Village has found itself red faced after offering hams for sale with the slogan "Delicious for Hanukkah," the current Jewish religious holiday.
Uh oh. Looks like someone made a boo-boo.
The non-kosher labelling was spotted at the weekend by Manhattan novelist Nancy Kay Shapiro, 46, who decided instead of alerting management to take a picture of the unorthodox sign and post it on the Internet.
"I just thought it was funny," Shapiro, who described herself as an unobservant Jew, told the New York Post. "I wasn't offended in any way. I just thought, here's somebody who knows nothing about what Jews eat."
What....WHAT? No calls for beheadings of these infidels? This shop hasn't been burned down yet? Where's the OUTRAGE? Where's the fucking A-C-L-U when you need them? (Oh yeah...they're tied up this time of year getting rid of those offensive Nativity scenes and Christmas from "public" publics. Take a number...they'll get back with you on January 2nd at the earliest)....
Um...dayum... the lady thinks this was FUNNY? Well, damn her too, the apostate! And behead her as well!
Not good enough. Someone must pay for insulting the Prophet!
A manager at the Balducci's gourmet grocery store told the newspaper that the sign was a mistake and blamed it on a stock clerk.
(Yeah, blame on it on someone else...it's always someone else's fault these days, isn't it? (dori))
Pork and shellfish are among the foods considered unclean under Jewish law.
Jewish?
Er...wrong religion. Heh.
Never mind.
Thank God those "Joooooooos" have a sense of humor, huh? Wish members of a certain other religion would learn from them. The key word being "would" if they "could". 9th century mindsets are hard to change, you see.
BTW, I've added a teddy bear to my Christmas wish list. Think I'll call him "Mo".

It was a stock clerk's fault??? Listen, I was a stock clerk for 5 years. While I did everything in the store sooner or later, and I do mean everything, the only thing I ever had to do with the signs was hang 'em...they came preprinted every saturday. I'm calling BS on that one.
