A British guy who may or may not be a little bit of a nutcase (why did he have to be a fellow Brit? I mean holy hell!) is considering suing our largest supermarket chain because he was asked to leave for wearing a hood.
Oh, did I mention he is the “Jedi church leader of the International Church of Jediism”?
Hang on. What?
Yes, Mr AllThere founded the Church and because he founded it, he has strict rules about what you can and cannot wear when you are a member of Team ChurchSuperAwesome. For instance:
“You have a choice of wearing headwear in your home or at work but you have to wear a cover for your head when you are in public.”
Why doesn’t he say that you should also make disturbing noises while chomping on raw potato, too? I mean headwear? Don’t the Muslim community already have the headwear side of the market cornered? (I really don’t know…me and religion…well…we don’t get on). But at least be original when you set up your own church.
On being interviewed by whatever journalist thought that this was newsworthy, he said:
“It was discrimination. They were making a joke against me. I was really upset. Nobody should be treated like that,” he moaned. Like a big girl.
I hope he doesn’t sue this site now I may or may nothave mentioned that he is as mad as a guy who starts a church on Jediism.
Of course, if I remember rightly from the SCIENCE FICTION FILMSthat he seems to be basing his life around, weren’t the Jedi’s a little above suing people because they were wronged? Or was it that they sued and then the naughty evil empire came along and decided to kill the lot, but the little green one got away, as did the old mad one and the kid who fancied his sister?
And just where is the location of this Churchof his? In his Mum’s spare bedroom? In the Treehouse in the back garden? Is there a special handshake to get in, or do they just use the Force? And what is the chance that I can get hold of the Jedi doctrination? I am assuming he wrote it himself and it has pop up pictures.
I could honestly go on for ages, but sarcasm is the lowest (and only) form of humour I have, and I might end up being sued for making a joke against his religion, which is not based on someone who sat down and wrote a script at some point. Hang on…isn’t that pretty much all religion? No Sy…don’t go there.
But I will leave you with the reply from Tesco (for the non-Brits among us, they are the supermarket):
“Jedis are very welcome to shop in our stores although we would ask them to remove their hoods.”
“Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood.”
Marvellous!!
