Dutch bank eliminates piggy bank mascot due to islamic concerns... - GoFuckYourself.com

Knorbert the piglet has been dropped as the mascot of Fortis Bank after it decided to stop giving piggy banks to children for fear of offending Muslims.

The decision has been viewed in the Netherlands as the ritual slaughter of a popular pig by political correctness. To some, it is the latest sign of uncertainty in Europe's most tolerant country about how far it should go to accommodate the sensitivities of minorities. It comes as the country is braced for a backlash against the plans of Geert Wilders, a right-wing politician, to release a critical film about the Koran.

Pigs are considered an unclean animal by Muslims and Jews, and Knorbert was culled after seven years as the Fortis mascot. A spokesman told the Dutch media that ?Knorbert does not meet the requirements that the multicultural society imposes on us?. The bank added that there had been ?a number of reactions to the pig? and that a new gift and character were being developed that would be ?fun for children of any persuasion?. Children who had received a Knorbert piggy bank for opening a EuroKids account will be given a junior encyclopaedia instead.

Piggy banks are offensive. The minute that I learned I was supposed to hate piggy banks, I smashed mine with a hammer and threw the pieces into a fireplace. I miss that pig too, had it for 28 years.

so true.. i'm pretty sure hate is only supposed to last like 5 days , once its past that you are def mongering... unless your jewish of course, although i'm pretty sure the nazi hate contract is up in 2013, after that it will be mongering.

Fortis Bank ought to send the Muzzies a great big "Fuck You" by making a Jew their new symbol instead of the pig. Imagine, then, the Fortis Bank "piggy" banks they could give their Muslim clients, where Muslim children would be forced to put their coins inside a little ceramic Jew.

12-01-2008, 04:46 PM

Mr.Right YOU are so WRONG, so this is still BATTS right?
pay people their money fuckface !

Reak AGV · 12-01-2008, 05:12 PM

Thats the biggest crap I heard in a long time.

bronco67 · 12-01-2008, 08:06 PM

I say write "Fuck Islam" on the bank floor, using ham and bacon strips.

Well, the Dutchies better grow themselves a backbone pretty damn soon. Otherwise, they're likely to wake up one fine morning only to discover that their wives and daughters have been circumsized by the local mullah

"When in Rome, do like the Romans."

Seriously, I've never understood why refugees from whatever countries think they have a right to demand shit from the countries that accepted them and allowed them to have new homes there, away from whatever the fuck they fled from. Don't like pigs? Move the fuck back, problem solved.

AtlantisCash · 12-03-2008, 07:05 PM

i wonder why people at gfy dealing with lots of crap instead of working and make few bucks more?

fuck politics!, go and make some cash fuckas.

Yea, we muslims don't eat pork, but i don't hate porcs as they're animals and they also created by GOD, hating an animal comes from ignorance, but i don't understand why some of You guys only pissed of Muslims? Jews are not eating pork also.

and the other thing is nobody pushed them to make this decision, nobody pointed them guns for doing this, so Why do You blaming Muslims?

if Your politicians spoiling the minorities more then enough, then don't blame minorities for this, go and blame Your politicians, Simple as it.
