Vermont Diner’s Bacon Sign Taken Down for Offending Muslims
by Andrew Johnson
A sign advertising the bacon at a Vermont diner has been taken down after a Muslim resident complained about the sign on the Internet and sparked a massive backlash against the restaurant, Sneakers Bistro.
In June, in return for taking part in a local volunteer initiative to plant flower beds in the city’s traffic medians, the diner was awarded a sign on a lamp post that said “Yield for Sneakers Bacon.” A woman took issue with the sign, calling it insensitive to those who don’t eat pork, according to WPTZ.
The woman’s objection, which she posted online, prompted several Facebook and Yelp comments calling on Sneakers Bistro to take down the sign. The diner’s owners contacted the woman to apologize and tell her the sign has been removed.
“We are here to serve people breakfast, not politics,” the owners wrote in a separate Facebook post over the weekend. “We removed the sign that was located on public property as a gesture of respect for our diverse community.”
And there you have it. Good to know that the Victimization of Muslims by terrible restaurant owners ended rapidly and efficiently.
We certainly can’t offend, and goodness sake, we certainly can’t offend Muslims.
What, you say? Our entire country and our Western Culture offends Muslims?
Well, we’ll all just have to convert to Islam now, won’t we?

P.S.
You’d have to look long, hard and low for that sign, in order to be “offended” by it. And yet, terrible offense was taken. Terrible offense, in concert with terrible remorse on behalf of the restaurant. Do what I term the Logical Extension for that.
