Don't call a teddy bear Mohammed...

I remember reading once Disney sued a childrens hospice for using Disney Images without permission on a mural.

Lovely people.

They have no option. Unchallenged breaches of your IP can end up with you losing control over your IP, childrens' hospice or no. No room for sentimentality in multi-billion dollar business.

It's alright, "We are providing consular assistance."!!!

Actually, I half expected the story to be about some bint up north getting a warning from her local council!

Well she is from Liverpool.

On a serious note, we should get her out of there. Reading between the lines it looks as though the local nutters are laying siege to the police station where she's being kept...

I bet you can't even call your Golliwog Mohammed!

No, but you could call him Rastus. In this country anyway. That's the beauty of democracy.

It is surprising that they had a problem with this bear but no problem with the other toys Fuzzy Wuzzy Nig Nog, Ching Chong Slitty Eyes and White Honky Nazi Scum. Odd people!

Definitely. Sudan, I don't mind saying, is a buggerhole. The only country in the world that still has crucifixion.

I mentioned this story to my wife, said I coudn't understand why it's not OK for a Teddy bear to be called Mohammed, but it's OK for the boy it was named after.

She said Muslims are not allowed to have dolls because it's idolatry. (She's a Buddhist who grew up in a Muslim country.) Don't know if it's relevant to this case. Taken at face value that means supplying a teddy bear to children would have been an issue in itself, never mind the name.

Because it's their law. They probably think it's unreasonable for beating your wife to be illegal in this country.

'kin savages!

Crucifixion's a doddle!
