Muslim fury at sexualized toy

Furious Muslims have blasted adult shop Ann Summers for selling a blow-up male doll called MUSTAFA SHAG.
They complained that the novelty sex toy insults the Prophet Muhammad — who also has the title al-Mustafa.
The High Street chain’s jokey £15 mustachioed doll has a 7in manhood and is targeted at hen parties.
But the Muslim Association — based at Manchester’s Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre — branded him “obnoxious”.
Yesterday a spokesman said: “This is the name of our Prophet and it’s very upsetting. This thing should be banned.”
In a letter to the store, the Association said: “You have no idea how much hurt, anguish and disgust this obnoxious phrase has caused to Muslims. We are asking you to have our Most Revered Prophet’s name ‘Mustafa’ and the afflicted word ‘shag’ removed.”
Last night Ann Summers said: “If anyone has a better name, please let us know. We’ll happily change it.”
The row follows global furore over cartoons which depicted Muhammad as a terrorist.

They are perpetually outraged. It will be news the day they are NOT outraged.
It sounds as though you're describing liberals/socialists.

Well I guess this is a HEN PARTY
The Hen Night
For those of you who don't know what a Hen Night is, it's basically a Bachelorette Party - just easier to say & type! This is a term used in Europe & I ran into a few of them while over there. For the guys, it's a Stag Night (in case you were wondering).

Oh, well, that's not so bad then. I was thinking something a little more "Brokeback".

Does the doll talk?
"You're an infidel whore!!"
"I will kill you, you s!u+"
And then it explodes at the climatic moment.......I don't think I want one.
