Fortis Bank Bans Piggy-Banks to Please MuslimsFortis Bank Bans Piggy-Banks to Please MuslimsAMSTERDAM, 21/02/08 - Fortis Bank will no longer give children a piggy-bank if they open an account. The company apparently is afraid of offending Muslims. Fortis clients that open a EuroKids account for their children are given a present of a piggy-bank called Knorbert. But the bank is stopping this because "Knorbert does not meet the requirements that the multicultural society imposes on us," yesterday's De Telegraaf quoted a spokesman as saying. Pigs are considered unclean animals by Jews and Muslims. An Internet campaign in which Knorbert played a leading role has also been halted by Fortis. According to a spokeswoman, there have been "a number of reactions to the pig" and a new present is being worked on that is "fun for children of any persuasion whatever." As an interim solution, the bank is currently offering a children's encyclopaedia. Later yesterday, Fortis tried to quash the suggestion that it was influenced by Islam. "The real story is a bit more balanced. "The Knorbert product has reached the end of its life-cycle," was spokeswoman Marianne Honkoop's attempt. SOURCE |

Suddenly they are afraid to offend Muslims? When the bombings in London and Madrid have ended and no one rioted over the third re-print of the Mohammad cartoons. Another measure is put into place.
Advertise fear! Evangelical: "Nothing is happening!! They aren't burning cars nor killing one another!!" Super Zionist: "We need to advertise, we are scared of Muslim children!!" Evangelical: "How dude, how?" Super Zionist: "No more pigs!!" Evangelical: "Ok... You want us to kill a cop! And say Muslim kids did it?" Super Zionist: "Good idea but lets save that for Ramadan or something... No I want you to suggest that pigs are stoping Muslims from having money!!" Super Zionist: "Make sure you say Jews and Muslims hate animals. Make sure you stick the word Jew in there so they catch some heat as well." Evangelical: "How's this sir; 'Pigs are considered unclean animals by Jews and Muslims. The company apparently is afraid of offending Muslims.' How is that?" Super Zionist: "You're a fucking genius. Hey would you like your own Church?" Evangelical: "Fuck ya, hell ya, friggin sounds fucking great man. God bless you!!" |
