Muslims are disgusted by an adult toy on sale in Worcester because they say it disrespects the prophet Mohammed.
Adult store Ann Summers, in the High Street, is selling a blow-up male doll called Mustafa S**g.
The name of the novelty toy has outraged Muslims living in the city, who have said the name insults the Prophet Mohammed, who is also known by the title al-Mustafa.
...
Jacqueline Gold, the owner of Ann Summers nationwide, said: "We don't want to offend anyone. This feels like political correctness gone mad.
"If anyone has a better name for a blow-up doll, please contact us."
This could get ugly
(ht: Dag). Where do these Orientalist stereotypes of Arab men, and the degrading pandering of them to English women (and men?), come from anyway? If it all weren't so ludicrous, i'd be appalled at our western decadence.

I heard something about this a while back.
Maybe they are saving it until they feel the need for another riot.
So call it "Pork Abdul".
Oh. Wait. That wouldn't work either.
They might want to market it as an "inflatable" doll rather than a "blow-up" doll. Just saying...
They're nibbling around the edges, attacking things that are easy for folks not to defend. After all, who is going to go to the matt for an inflatable doll?
