The Commonwealth Games, which opened last week in Glasgow, Scotland in the presence of the Queen, was, like all sporting events these days, ushered into existence to the accompaniment of a lavish and visually impressive opening ceremony.

But amidst the dancing mechanical giants and gay kisses, the organizers also sought to celebrate Scottishness by having each team led out by Scottie dogs wearing tartan coats embroidered with the name of the team.

Social media, predictably, fell in love with the doggies, however now political and religious leaders in Malaysia have cried foul, and are accusing the organizers of disrespect towards Muslims by forcing their teams to be led out by a dog.

I suspect Mo Hammad realized that every dog in sight was smarter, wiser, kinder, and better looking than he was. Jealousy, pure and simple, brought on his attitude.

Big salute to the Scotties.

I suppose a nice Scottish woman carrying a little Scottie dog with your country’s name on it is worse than a pilot flying a plane with your country’s name on it into God knows where, killing all passengers on board. Point taken.

I am deeply offended on behalf of all Scots and all the British that the ill-mannered muslims were so terribly disrespectful of their hosts. Next time, they should stay home. I demand apologies, but don’t expect me to actually accept them.

Fine. The muzzies can leave if they don’t like it.

Nobody wants to be upstaged by infinitely superior beings *ping*

You know how dogs can be trained to respond to any word for an attack command?

I’ve changed mine.

“for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.”

That ‘ritual cleanliness OCD’ is just a symptom of knowing that inside, you are infinitely filthy.

They are antichrists.

A bike shop opened up locally called “Infidel Cycles”.

You gotta love that.
