VERSION|0.5.1|SUBJECT|No more Virgin Mary Flavour Crisps|CONTENT|[img=images/VirginMaryChrisps.jpg popup=false]

Those of us who are partial to the occasional Bloody Mary, a combination of vodka, tomato juice and Worcester sauce, sometimes have to sacrifice the vodka and opt for a simple Virgin Mary instead. Virgin Marys are sold under that name in bars up and down the country.

Pret A Manger thought it would be a good idea to harness the flavour of a Virgin Mary cocktail in a packet of crisps. Sounds good? Pity, you&#039;ll never get to try them.

Some deranged sour faced Catholic, who&#039;d apparently never heard of the cocktail, thought the crisps were named after [i]the[/i] Virgin Mary and decided to be offended by them. Never wanting to miss a chance to rally the Church Militant, Protect the Pope got [url=http://protectthepope.com/?p=6566]straight on the case[/url]. People who had never been near a Pret A Manger in their life could now be offended, thanks to the wonders of modern technology.

At first Pret A Manger tried to explain to the swivel eyed Catholic warriors that their crisps were named after the cocktail, not after the parthenogenic young lady, but in the end they decided it was just too much hard work and [url=http://protectthepope.com/?p=6577]dropped the line[/url] of savoury snacks.

The crisps will now be given away to the homeless. So it seems only homeless, militant Catholics can be offended by them now.|CATEGORIES|73,11|IP-ADDRESS|94.168.119.214|CREATEDBY|admin|DATE|1359702907
