Nutcase complains about ketchup bottle

Adrian Shann last month slammed Pizza Hut following a dining experience at its Hull, England, outlet where he likened its tomato sauce label to “an app for swingers”, Ladbible reported.

Mr Shann was unhappy with the bottle’s sticker, which read, “shake, squeeze and squirt”.

“It’s not innocent in my eyes. The barbecue sauce one said ‘squeeze’, but the ketchup one said that … it put me off using it. It literally sounds like an app for swingers,” the 31-year-old said.

In an email raising his issue with the company, shared with Hull Daily Mail, Mr Shann asked for a full refund and demanded that Pizza Hut rebrand its “sexualised” tomato sauce.

A scholar at a Virginia university is not backing down as students and faculty seek to get her fired for a tweet she posted criticizing DC Comics’ new bisexual Superman character

“Regrettably, this has all gone too far,” Sophia Nelson, scholar in residence at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia, says in an open letter to the university community dated Friday.

“I read the student petition against me in a Fox News article posted on Wednesday, October 27th,” Nelson writes, “and was devastated to read these words: ‘Our community is hurt and disappointed in the way this university has dealt with the homophobic and racist statements of Professor Nelson.’”

Nelson adds in her open letter:

This is where I must draw the line. Neither me nor my words are racist or homophobic. And to characterize them as such in a petition to remove me is very shocking and damaging to me as a professional and as a human being.

Her remarks on Twitter made no references to Superman’s race (the iconic character was born on the fictional planet of Krypton), so it’s not clear what Nelson’s critics were talking about.

On Oct. 1, Nelson began work as a visiting fellow at the university’s College of Arts and Humanities, after serving at the school as an adjunct professor.

The incident began when, in a since-deleted Twitter post Oct. 11 about the bisexual Superman, Jon Kent, Nelson wrote:

I just don’t get why this is necessary. I don’t! What if Christian parents of children reading comic books don’t want their kids exposed to bisexual characters? This is being pushed on kids. Then parents have to explain it. And most cannot!

Nelson describes herself as a conservative Christian. In a written statement to The Daily Signal, she explained that she wrote the tweet to push back against the oversexualization of children, not out of “homophobia.”

A more "stunning and brave" move in today's culture would have been for Superman to come out as a Conservative Christian fighting for "truth, justice, and the American Way!"
