More and more people are responding to the bleatings of the offended with “so what?”

I am seriously offended by those signs outside churches telling me that I am going to hell. I am seriously offended by soap operas (they are so patronising). I am seriously offended by pictures of the current pope, or any bishop for that matter. Can I have these banned?

However, the story does appear elsewhere on the net, so if it is indeed true one can only ask “What the bloody hell has dissing a dead pope got to do with racial equality?!!”

For all I know she may be a pillar of her community.
But how does Sheila Soltysik know she’s Polish?
