Cultural (In)Sensitivity

[lillibet]

I just got a call from a friend to inform me that in today's Globe there's a Shaw's circular. Right on the front is a logo that says "Happy Ramadan". Surrounding the logo is an advertisement for their sale on pork loin.

Never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity.

Stunning. In the absolutely neutral sense of the word.

That's really marvelous. I mean, yeah, of course it's offensive. But also (I must confess) very, very funny.
