Most of you have probably read about this: McDonald’s left the pig out of its currently-selling zodiac doraemon series, out of respect for Muslims.
Based on that reasoning, the Goonfather pointed out, the dragon should also be omitted out of respect for Christians because dragons are identifed with Satan.
And cow should be omited coz buddhist don’t eat cow.
and rats to cos its dirty.. :P
then shld omit everything out of respect for other races coz they dont believe animal zodiacs
hahaha I agree with naeboo!
besides, what’s so disrespectful about doraemon in a pig costume? is doraemon muslim?????
What about being respectful to everyone (Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, etc) who observe the Lunar calendar? Figure there’s more of us then them…
Think McD’s should bring the McRib over to SG to be respectful of those of us who eat pork!
Then there should be one doramon covered in leaves…in respect for vegetarians…the current ones are all meat!! Haha
Haha….. many good points here. :P
I figure also that by trying to be respectful to Muslims, McD’s might be inadvertently disrespectful because it’s implying that Muslims are more sensitive than other people.
How about closing down the McD’s becasue it’s very existance offends Muslims, Jews, Christians and people with eating disorders?
I assure you our daughter will not be eating there :P
I’m pretty sure they won’t give a rat’s ass about the pig being in there if not for the fact that they are certified halal
oh. i didnt knw having a pig doll toy that supposed to be part of thousand-year-old zodiac would make their food not halal. is it edible??
Haha naeboo, my thoughts exactly. Really don’t understand what’s so non-halal about a soft toy.
methinks it’s a case of being more Muslim than the Muslims, just like some Malays are being more Arab than the Arabs and some Singaporeans are being more Ang Mo than the Ang Mos. Say, did anyone tell McD that Islam also forbids the consumption of Rat meat, Tiger meat, Snake meat, Dragon meat…..
Wow, really that? I didn’t know. But, um… dragon meat?? Why forbid people from eating something that doesn’t exist in the first place? O_o
