Now they've gone too far.
The gloves are off now pal!
Seriously.
I can't believe my favorite childhood toy company is bowing to pressure from these twats.
These same people who are "insulted" and all butt hurt about Jabba's Lair, are the same people who
A. throw acid on women
B. sentence women to prison for the crime of being raped
C. kill cartoonists for daring to draw Mohammed
D. use mentally handicapped people as suicide bombers
E. Elect and protect known terrorists
F. Endorse politicians who supported Adolf Hitler (100 percent true - not being facetious)
I could go on.
I know that someone will give me "Not all Muslims...." or the "yeah, but...." and my response has been the same since 2001:
It ain't the Episcopalians trying to blow us up.
And just in case you think I'm way out of line:
Virtue and vice dept. says Saudi women can bicycle

MUSLIMS CLAIM 'JABBA'S PALACE' TOY HATEFUL, LEGO PULLS FROM PRODUCTION
Jabba the Hut's palace in Return of the Jedi proved one of the franchise's most indelible movie sets, full of frightening creatures, a blue elephant-like musician and, of course, Han Solo frozen in carbonite.
Some Muslims claim a toy based on Jabba's lair also is an insult to their faith.
The Lego toy dubbed "Jabba's Palace" "depicts Muslims as terrorists," according to several Muslim groups, citing the toy's "mosque-like lair," hookah, guns and a handcuffed Chewbacca.
“This sort of thing does not belong in a child’s bedroom,” Melissa Gunes, spokeswoman for Austria’s Turkish Cultural Association, told The Independent. “The game is pedagogical dynamite. It depicts Muslims as terrorists.”
Lego claims it planned to stop production on "Jabba's Palace" all along, and its decision has nothing to do with the outrage.
