How odd. I didn't make the racial connection. Would it be better if the
cake were Caucasian?

If this was intended to be a racial thing it's appalling and disgusting.

"Yanks" are only from New England (MA, CT, RI, etc.). Figure on a Limey not

Genital mutilation (clitoridectomy) is a characteristic of Muslim cultures,
which hate women.

But then Britain and Sweden are basically run by Muslims these days. Ever
heard of Rashad Akhtar, of High Wycombe? (That's in England.) He complained
that the swirls shown on the lid of Burger King's ice-cream cones resembled
the script for the word "Allah" in Arabic. Burger King changed the lid to
appease the Muslims.

Allah Akbar, mate.

I was just in London for 4 days last November. Didn't see one overtly
Muslim person or a Mosque. Here (central TX) they are numerous and seem
innocuous.

We got around. My wife is very energetic on holiday. I got to thinking
about it. There were some Muslims at Heathrow. Nothing unusual. We were
stacked up BAD in customs.

The way you guys talk about it I thought it was going to be much
different, Seemed like a non-issue. We traveled up to Vancouver Canada a
few summers ago and I did notice a strong Muslim presence there. But
again, innocuous.

We should be back in England in a few years. I'll look for those pesky
buggers again. BTW: Wonderful trip. Londoners were quite pleasant.

Heh!

"Sweden's culture minister today faced furious calls to resign after she was
pictured cutting a 'racist' black cake designed like a native African woman.
Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth had appeared at the Museum of Modern Art in
Stockholm when she was invited to cut the cake which was designed like a
naked African woman. The Swedish minister cut pieces from the black cake,
which had blood-red sponge and was designed to highlight the issue of female
genital mutilation.

That ain't your average 'cake designed like a person'-- Especially
disturbing is the artist's dedication to his craft. "Makode Linde, the
artist who came up with the cake, had placed his own head at the top
of the cake and said it had been misunderstood."

I though the head on that cake was lifelike-- but that's crazy.

[kind of siding with the artist-- but I'm glad it was some other
country's politician cutting that one up]

I used to decorate cakes and my wife is working on a elaborate 3 tiered
cake for our niece who is getting married on Saturday. I thought the
black cake was very well done and it's a shame it was in such poor
taste. I can't imagine the fondant would be edible with all that dye.
Fondant tastes like poop to me anyway.

I would make an exception with Jeff Cooper's rule
-One day, during an interview, Jeff Cooper,
was asked if he was afraid that his attitude and approach
to criminals would not beget more violence.
-He replied:
"Certainly, that is the whole point..
To anyone who offers me violence, I intend to offer
such a surfeit of violence that they will be sated
for the rest of their short lives."-

Well I would say it was tasteless right enough but it certainly
highlightedt he issue.
Genital mutilation has become an issue in Europe when the scope ofthe
practice was discovered. Thousands of school girls being taken to
Africa To be cut up by back street butchers.

So it's racistin the sense that it's the black scum parents doing this
to them.
The PC over here don't like stuff like this highlighted as it brings
home how scummy North African society really is and that the "racists"
are correct.

It was actually meant to bring attention to the genital mutilation of
young women on the African continent due to religious practices. The
P.L.L.C.F. types will always try to make a racial issue out of any silly
old thing. o_O

Why is OK to have an art exhibit where there is a crucifix soaking in a
jar of urine or a bible smeared with feces? When Christians complain
that's it is shocking, appalling, insulting and extremely distasteful,
they're called intolerant and bigoted against any artistic expression.
After all, it's art of the highest order. o_O

I think you're right, but the lack of black people cutting the cake is
still disturbing. What is PLLCF?
