It being January, this is already dated. But I thought you might
find this amusing anyway. And it happened right in your town!

Gawd, I hope not. Around here, it's more likely to get a "WTF!!?" and a
laugh, even from the misunderstood "target audience."
At least Ms. Shapiro was amused by it.

I was thinking of people shopping there, some could have felt their religion
was being insulted.

Oh, I was thinking of people shopping there, too, when I said "around here."
That shop is in my town.

I think they all understood it was a mistake on the part of the market.  I
also know a lot of (non-orthodox) Jews who don't worry about the "no pork"
restrictions anymore.  Just like many Catholics no longer worry about
adhering to the no meat only fish on Friday rule.

They stopped meatless Fridays except for Lent years ago.

Did you see that she created some Cafepress tchotchkes with those photos
on them? You can now buy a mug, an apron, and even greeting cards sporting
the photos. Apparently this gaffe caused great amusement among a number
of people.

I suppose some people might have been insulted, especially if they
thought the store was doing it on purpose. I can't imagine any reason
they would do that, though. All they succeeded in doing was embarrassing
themselves. It got a fair amount of coverage, actually.

All- RIGHT!  LOL!

Thanks, Joyce.
