To all- please ping me to Canadian topics.

Canada non-Ping!

Albinos are persecuted – and often murdered – in Africa, says Ero. That’s why her family moved to Canada, “to give me a chance at a better life.”

And you are not being persecuted and you have a better life, you little lawsuit-lottery lady of the night.

Nah, Alzheimer’s appetizers wouldn’t work - it’s an entirely forgettable name...

Oy vey!

People are confusing their own personal feelings about a word or a subject and whether or not that subject is causing them a legitimate hardship in living a free life. A restaurant using rhyme for the purpose of wit is no more guilty of human rights violations than a doctor discussing a condition with a non-doctor. There’s simply nothing about the name of the restaurant that would cause this woman to have difficulty living her life.

The fact that we’ve become such a severely litigious society and such an excessively sensitive one indicates to me that we’ve forgotten about every lesson and every tribulation ever associated to true human rights violations in the past. Rounding up people and executing them because they’re Jewish is a human rights violation. Giving a restaurant a clever name that happens to reference a genetic disorder is not affecting the sufferers of the disorder in any way other than through some perceived injustice.

I’m offended by this persons offended feelings.

[Uncle Miltie]

Not necessarily guilty by FR standards:

Just guilty of stupidity.

[BerryDingle]

I never realized the word Albino was offensive. Is Ebony?

considered a disability in Canada.

Is Canada going to round up Albinos and exterminate them? How about Rhinos?

Thanks to Obummer and company, we may all soon join her in Canada,to “have a chance at a better life.”

I see color in her hair and lips. I also thought true albinos had red eyes, which I do not see here.
Ah well. Some people just aren’t happy unless they are complaining about something.

Earls have maybe avoided some bad publicity and needless legal expense by agreeing to quietly relabel the suds “white rhino” over an extended period?

Senators Collins and McCain and a few others would likely want in on some royalties.

No matter how many times you order the Alzheimer’s appetizer it’s always the first time.

Nigeria....where the scam is a cottage industry.

[zeestephen]

If you drink too much Albino Rhino, will you turn into an Albino Wino?

In his heyday, HL Menken was cheered for his popular bon mots of which this was one of his most popular; "Puritanism - the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy."

In today's world, this has been transformed into the definition of Political Correctness, that somebody somewhere has offended somebody else anywhere ... and thus MUST BE FORCED TO STOP!" It is the club of control by the most easily offended!

The immortal RA Heinlein addressed it adequately when he added his 'Mrs Grundy' axiom to his "Laws of Lazerus Long"; "Freedom begins when you tell Mrs Grundy to go fly a kite!"

Unfortunately, in today's world of expansive government and legal barratry, we now run into the Chinese curse, "May you come to the attention of those in Authority!" Thus Earls Restaurant will now have to spend to defend themselves against someone's sense of freedom from offense! I do not see how this lady's potential victory will do anything but limit our freedoms elsewhere.
