Café apologises after Ramadan joke.

Psychobilly freakout · Jul 25, 2014

Sorry if fixtures.

AN “ILL-THOUGHT-OUT” joke sparked outcry on social media.
Nordic Coffee Collective posted a picture of its sandwich board featuring a pun on the word “Ramadan”.
The Brighton cafe landed in hot water with some social media users who branded the joke “insensitive”, “offensive”, in “bad taste”, “bigoted” and “not cool”.
The inflammatory pun read: “Two Muslims have crashed into the Thames Barrier in London. Police think it might be the start of Ram-a-dam.”
The coffee shop, which is known for posting jokes and off-beat humour on its sandwich boards, promptly removed the message and posted an apology.

Shit joke. Don't really see it as offensive though, just a rubbish pun?

It's a reasonable enough pun/joke but something that you tell to a mate not write on a board where people can get offended.

It's a play on words so I don't see how anyone can be offended by it.

It's automatically offensive cos it features Muslims. I too, am outraged and horrified on their behalf.

I'm not sure whether or not is a play on words is particulalry useful in deciding whether or not something's offensive.

After reading your comments on other threads of this nature, I'm not even going to bother getting drawn into this kind of conversation.

But yeah, look it up on Twitter. Supposedly this is offensive because it portrays all Muslims as: "stupid/barbaric/inhuman".

Not at all NSC clown.......Im indifferent to it...as I would imagine most people are.
The ONLY people who go on about muslims being 'offended' all the time, are right-wing cockwombles such as yourself...but you already knew that.

What does it feel like to be offended by something? I'm not sure I've ever experienced it before.

Look what up on twitter?....
Seems as though the only muslim in the story, had to be told about this 'offending' sign....and he didnt seem particularly 'offended'
