The BBC interviewed Mohammed Khan of the Washington D.C. based Centre for Islamic Excellence. Mr Khan stated that 'absolutely, these creations can be used by racist-minded people to taunt and intimidate minorities in the wrong circumstances' he further added 'often during the festive holidays, snow men are a religious symbol and legally should never be allowed to be built on public land and parks'....50% rule You could be right... "My mom said the only reason men are alive is for lawn care and vehicle maintenance." |

Maybe the solution is to make big mfkn politically correct snowman and sprinkle it with chimney soot. We have been making white snowmen for centuries, not as a statement of race, but just because snow happens to be white. Geez. |
