Muslim "fun" day - or a clash of civilisations?

I see that Alton Towers has single-handedly tried to resuscitate the notion of multi-culturalism with its “Muslim fun day”, which has unfortunately clashed with Chav and Chavetta’s Western Liberal-Democracy wedding day.

Women and men will be “prevented from mixing” on the same rides and, of course, the usual vices of the infidel - smoking, drinking, gambling and the wearing of non-Muslim clothes – will be banned too.  Naturally this has gone down like “un sandwich-de-merde” with Chav and Chavetta and their 60 guests.

Aside from a “pain of death” punishment for being caught, it doesn’t sound too dissimilar to the “no music, no dancing, no football” edict of the new Islamist proprietors of Somalia, does it?

Perhaps Alton Towers could punish individuals caught infringing the rules with obligatory goes on “Death ride”, or whatever the scariest fairground attraction they’ve got is called these days, and re-badge the day as “Islamo-Fascist fun day”?

And maybe they could market a “National Socialist fun day”, where Aryan and non-Aryan people are “prevented from mixing” on the rides, and 6 million of the most undesirable non-Aryans are condemned to “Death ride”?

And of course, McLenin, Smeaglers, Bi-Octopussy, etc. would have to have their own “Socialist fun day”, where the working class get to go on all the rides except “Death ride”, which, of course, will be reserved for 120 million middle class people.

Well if there was enough demand, they'd do any or all of those things. Simple economics, innit?

[Lawrence Duff]

Spot on N.I.B.: “simple economics” will probe every possibility.

And as we look back and observe that Alton Towers has offered us 6,000 “Capitalist fun days” and 1 “Muslim fun day”; and The Dome has offered us 365 “(National) Socialist fun days” to date, there’ll be no prizes for guessing the marketers’ conclusions about we punters’ “simple economic” demands.

Half-way through I thought this was a bit below par even for the 'Nonsense' but then at the end I saw the author's nom-de-keyboard. Say no more!

"about we punters’....": David, give him a cuff and teach him English.

Larry: Was it really that bad? Feel free to elaborate, if you wish! Right now I’m on the wrong end of a litre of home-made Moravian wine (it’s going to hurt in the morning!) and therefore very feak and weeble…

Pedant’s Apprentice: Grammar? Schwammer! I blame my Socialist state education and Pater for not getting his cheque book out… Did I at least get all the apostrophes right in “there’ll be no prizes for guessing the marketers’ conclusions about we punters’ “simple economic” demands”?

The apostrophes might have been right, but I still can't work out what the point was.

Seems like you're making a big fuss about a bit of 'market segmentation' to me!

"Socialist fun day" would have all of us hand-in-hand dancing together through green fields filled with red flowers singing the Internationale and waving red flags, with a bunch of hot hippie chicks scantily clad of course, and beer!

[Lawrence Duff]

Reasoninrevolt: After all these years of dialectical inquiry leading me unswervingly to a Liberal conclusion - and now you've converted me in one sentence!

May I be allowed one grubby market deal before I sign up?

You wave the red flag, pick the flowers and sing the Internationale and I'll unclad the scantilies and quoff the beer!

Son of Duff

[Lawrence Duff]

Btw: scantilies *and* beer - so much better than 72 virgins, eh?

Well let me just check that I've understood your point correctly - to summarise, you're saying:

"A Muslim fun day?? A MUSLIM FUN DAY??&%?!? How about A *NAZI* FUN DAY then?!!?$?*&!@#!!?"
