"Director of Marketing" must die for insult

Grocery store goofs with Hanukkah ham ad

Fri Dec 7, 10:18 AM ET

NEW YORK - This was REALLY not kosher.

A grocery store in Manhattan made a food faux pas, advertising hams as "Delicious for Chanukah."

Chanukah — an alternate spelling for Hanukkah — is the eight-day Jewish holiday that began Tuesday evening, and hams — as well as pork and other products from pigs — can't be eaten under Jewish dietary laws.

A woman who saw the mistake over the weekend at the Balducci's store on 14th Street took pictures of the signs and posted them on her blog.

Jennifer Barton, director of marketing, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the signs were changed as soon as the error was noted.

She issued an apology on the company Web site, saying the company would be reviewing its employee training.

Why would an Italian Grocery store have anything to do with Hanukkah
Is it just me

When the grocery store is located in NY city in a prominent Jewish community you tend to cater to the customers in your area.

On a side note an aquaintance of mine had a bar by the same name and was threatened to be sued by this very company over the naming rights. Instead of going to court over the matter he simply change the name of his tavern to "Bald Lucy's".

True story ^

Just another example of how retarded religion is. I'm sorry if this offends anyone (well maybe I'm not) but wake up religious people. We live in the year 2007 it's time to cast off the unfounded superstitious beliefs of our ancestors. Just because at one point in time we were monkeys doesn't mean that we have to keep thinking like chimps (or should i say chumps).

If Muslims can call for DEATH of the school teacher that allowed a teddy bear to be named Mohammed because they were offended.....then Jews should be allowed to do the same because they too are offended.

You might be laughing because you aren't Jewish.

Muslims weren't laughing about the teddy bear named Mohammed.

Great idea and thank you for the inspiration....I will now have a UNOD.....Unnoticed News Of the Day.

No one should be calling for anyone's death. If someone makes another's religion look silly, he should be applauded because it probably is. No one should be offended, yet millions of people are offended by the TRUTH. It's silly how in one sentence I can offend a great percentage of the World's population: Jesus was just a mortal man (magic and insane maybe, or possibly just insane) and Mohammad was just a crazy pervert who taught that martyrs would receive 72 virgins in heaven. If that was true (about the virgins) how long would they remain virgins after you got them? Please, please hold the applause.

Afterthought:
How long until I receive death threats?
