Pork: The Deliciously Offensive Meat

Pork
I adore Pork in pretty much any form. Bacon, sausgaes, ham you name it the meat is delicious!!!!!

But my oh my does it offend. First the Muzzies, now "Hispanics"?

"ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Two days after naming its mascot "PorkChop," the Philadelphia Phillies' new Triple-A affiliate abruptly dropped the moniker after receiving complaints from Hispanics that it was offensive.

The Lehigh Valley IronPigs, whose mascot is a large, furry pig, had selected PorkChop from more than 7,300 fan submissions. The team, which begins play in 2008, announced Monday that the mascot will be named "Ferrous" instead.

General Manager Kurt Landes said he heard from several Hispanics who said PorkChop was derogatory."

YOU GODDA BE KIDDIN' ME!!!!!!
