seriously guys, take your damn country back from those 'elf and saftey assbags, you're embarassing all of us here.

cksewell: Do not bring reindeer to malls. It never ends well.

I agree

Shouldn't they also avoid shiny objects then, too?

Just re-institute the blackout they had during the Blitz. No one got hurt then...

We used to laugh and call them names.

What? No, seriously, what's all this? They can't be serious. This a prank right?

This is what happens when low-level bureaucrats power...

See? The Muslims have it right: Hot chicks parading around in public leads to rubber-necking, which leads to accidents.

Cover the whores up.

Reindeer. Those farkers would just as soon cut you as look at you.

Okay bring them to me and I will take care of it. I promise.

Nanny State bans town from bringing reindeer to a mall


Dear submitter,

I know it's de rigeur to use 'ban' with the ever-so-fresh 'Nanny State', but 'prohibits' would have worked a lot better in this case.

Nose too high in the air to see the farking headline in the farking article?

Wolsey: This is what happens when low-level bureaucrats power...

Ah, you are so right.

This has nothing to do with "safety of the attendees." I will wager dollars to donuts that somebody didn't clear the event with every last petty bureaucrat on the City Council, and they retaliated by finding some way to ban the event.

Either that, or someone realized they'd have to clean up the reindeer shiat afterward, and decided they didn't want anyone slipping on THAT, so...

cksewell: Do not bring reindeer to malls. It never ends well.

What about giant boars?

/On Tusker! On Snouter! On Rooter!

We're all going to die!

I am glad I dont live over there.

If the organisers can save the injury of just one child then it's a precaution worth taking.

/from the comments
//:facepalm:

1) Couldn't malls themselves be quite dangerous? I'm surprised that they are still allowed.

2) I think that a "nannystate" tag would be nice.

What about putting diapers on them, too?

Klamrisk is exactly the right word for that.

Something tells me they're not going to like the ending to my nativity story then...

1. Put snakes on plane

Nose too high in the air to see the farking headline in the farking article?


Not at all. Well, almost.

The headline in TFA uses the phrase "ban reindeer from Christmas display"; 'banning an object from a location' makes sense and is correct usage.

Submitter used the phrase "bans town from bringing reindeer"; that is subpar usage, as 'ban' doesn't really work that way. I guess you can't make the distinction.

Who owns the mall?

Wolsey: This is what happens when low-level bureaucrats power...

Especially when accidentally the whole thing.

Nakito: We used to laugh and call them names.

WIN!

sp0rtsfan86: glad to see that reindeer are no longer being feared as potential problems. on that note we must extermniate the dangerious and life threatining snow and ice phenomeon before it kills us all.

Yeah, we're working on that.

Copies and pastes....ZOMFG!!!

KingPsyz: seriously guys, take your damn country back from those 'elf and saftey assbags, you're embarassing all of us here.

That whole country has turned into a big sandy vagina.

I'm sure the Daily Mail has included all relevant facts, and nothing was left out in order to skew the article.

Can't you just vote the bozos out of office?

gorgor: StoneColdAtheist: Nervously glances across room...notes wife napping in her easy chair.

Stick your thumb up her butt, that'll wake her up. :D

Health and safety; hold the chair with your other hand, you don't want it to tip backward.

Boo Hoo, I can't take my reindeer to the mall.

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it

If the meaning is conferred adequately, the language is sufficient.

Lighten up.

Why don't the citizens raise hell when something this stupid happens? Work to get these dweebs thrown out of office in the next election.

How about "reasonable people object to using wild animslsas z circus show for a bunch of know-nothing sky god worshipers"?

Articles from the National Enquirer aren't greenlit. Why are articles from the Daily Mail? It's just as sensationalistic and just about as reliable a news source.

The Daily Fail writes stories about reindeer. The Rectal Inquirer writes stories about Mary Kate's latest vomit-spewing episode. You figure it out.

Dear Santa:

For Christmas please bring me a Nanny State tag. As with the Florida tag it would only apply to the UK. And maybe Massachusetts.

the potential threat is more dangerous than the actual threat...

Seriously gaize, if you actually lived in the UK, you'd find that socially it is about a zillion times more permissive and less rubber-coated than the USA no matter what little horror stories the daily mail is drumming up. So, umm, why don't you go to your own little zoning board or town council in bumblefark usa and start there? KTHXBAI.
