From MailOnline's terms & conditions:
You must not submit any material to our Site that is defamatory, malicious, threatening, false, misleading, offensive, abusive, discriminatory, harassing, blasphemous or racistA spokesman for Anycorp said: 'We're absolutely fine with our advertising being hosted along side misinformed rants about the Islamification of Britain and tirades against Churches turning into Mosques and things like that. And if our press releases are used by commenters to shout about ethnics robbing the indigenous folk, that's cool too.'

It makes me laugh that people are prepared to boycott Asda simply because they start stocking Asian clothing, yet won't boycott somewhere like Primark that has highly dubious ethical standards regarding child labour and the like. Ya know, important stuff...
ReplyDeleteJust saw this elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteThe plus side?
The racist comments have been hit with red arrows, and the anti-racist comments have earned a host of green.
Makes a change.
Thats ASDA thinking ahead, soon there will be no need for western dress in the new shia law run country!!!

It's not ASIAN - it's moslem.
Stop lumping everyone into the same old catch-all word!

ReplyDeleteWell in that case the Daily Mail violates it's own Terms and Conditions simply by existing at all!!
I know supermarkets are ingenious in their almost subliminal attempts to get the consumer to buy more than what's on the shopping list (works on me every time) but is Sue Daley really at risk of buying herself a salwar kameez just because it's on sale in Asda? Perhaps if the same top (from a salwar kameez) was not labelled as such and was called 'a tunic' and offered for sale alongside a nice pair of skinny jeans it would be ok, trendy even? Most 'British' clothes are made in the far east or Indian subcontinent anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat's Bri'ish of course, missed out the glottal stop, sorry!
