Would you be offended?

BBC NEWS | England | North Yorkshire | Outrage over pregnant shop dummy

In a nutshell, the shop owner sell underwear for pregnant women and had a dummy with a bump; she's been told to take it down from her window cause it causes offence.

Would it offend you?

I wouldn't be bothered by it, the underwear looks nice so i see it as 'you can be pregnant and still feel sexy' kind of thing. People are so weird.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Every single person who is alive today was one of those bumps at one time.

I don't get it.

I dream of a world in which chickens can cross the road and no one questions their motives.

Not at all. If people are offended by that then I suggest they don't ever go outside or watch TV again. There are plenty of worse things that will easily offend them.

The weird thing was, on the news, they took the dummy out into the streets and asked people about it; the guys were fine, the middle-aged and young women were fine but it was an old biddy that wasn't.

I can see why the old biddy might not have liked it, being old fashioned and all, but women walk around with they're bellies out all the time.

the sarcasm tag means that you know that they weren't grown in a test tube for 9 months, right?

There's a motherhood/maternity store in our local mall and their manequins have baby bellies. I think that anyone being offeded by this story needs to get a life.

I wouldn't be offended. I mean, I probably wouldn't even notice she was pregnant instead of just a "plus size" dummy.
