Would you be offended by this?

Listening to local radio yesterday, there was a local cafe/bakery that had a sign hanging up 'thin people are kidnapped more easily, stay safe,eat cake!'
the woman who runs the cafe says loads of people laugh when they read it but had an email sent from somebody who said 'how much it offended them, and that if it didn't come down, they would boycott the shop'. So after another email in the same vein( from same person) they took the sign down. Now, I did think this may be the cafe drumming up business by going on local radio ( yer never know!) but if true, I think she should have left the sign up.It was ONE person, after all.

Not sure if I believe what they say about having to take it down, unless maybe someone implied they could get in to trouble or something. What a shame. That kind of sign would work on me - I would give them a try and sample the cakes. That would be the decider! grin

Maybe that's because you all love cake, ItalianGirl ?

Yes we do and find dieting a necessary evil.
