Oh yeah?!?! Well I am offended by a crescent moon, and any star in the heavens that appears to have 6 sides, or looks like an upside-down 5-sided star.

I am offended by a patterned shirt.

I am offended by spoiled cheese! Since I am offended, it must be banned.

They might as well dumb-down further by banning mathematics in school.

Jehovah's Witnesses are offended by the cross. They think it is of pagan origin. They insist that Christ was hung from an upright stake with no cross beam.

I think any TRUE Christian would know, the shape of the sticks that Christ was hung from is a subject of the utmost importance.

I am sure we would be condemned to the fiery furnace or at least eternal death were we ever to eat one of these pagan buns.

(/sarcasm)

Pretty soon, to be PC you can't say "cross out the box" just x it out. Oh but that depends on how you hold the page.

Lets see...the lefty over there is holding the page to where I'm insulted. /SARC

How moronic can this get?

Why should the children be offended? Just tell them it's a sweet treat, and let it go with that.

"Fine, let's up the ante: I'm offended by intersections." Good point. Possible solution:

Goes along with last year's story..."THE fast-food chain, Burger King, is withdrawing its ice-cream cones after the lid of the dessert offended a Muslim. The man claimed the design resembled the Arabic inscription for Allah, and branded it sacrilegious, threatening a "jihad". "

Nice try, but you just drew a pentagram.

I'm deeply offended.

The Danish, Swedish and Norwegian flags all have crosses on them. Wonder how long before the Muslims demand they be changed?

Never underestimate the moronic capacity of bureaucracy.

Or Political Correctness.

Or Liberals. Oh, wait. They are all the same thing.

I'm offended by square school buildings because the square symbolizes the rune "cow pie" in the Druid religion.
