There's also a question as to how it relates to the current thread [Wink] I guess there's a loose association, what with the voting and the naming and the having an issue with the voting and the naming.

I can't find the news story that I read that stressed this angle (I think it was from the BBC), but the gist was that the uproar/outrage over this has relatively little to do with what the people in and around the school think, and more with Sudan looking for good press among more radical Islamic circles.

Essentially, the long-running and well-respected BBC children's TV show Blue Peter had a vote to name a new pet on the show. It was felt by the producers that the winning name, Cookie, had certain connotations and suggested a concerted campaign of voting by the more mischievous elements of their audience (the students who watch to lust after Konnie Huq, for instance). So they chose somehting else. So far, no-one has declared a fatwa against them for it.

Is it wrong that the first "cookie" I thought of was of the browsing variety? I wasn't sure what Blue Peter was about, thought it might be a tech show or something...

It is essentially a magazine programme for kids. The presenters are young and fit, and go all over the world doing exciting things. There are arts'n'crafts segments.

So, just because they lust after some girl their votes do not count. Sounds like Florida to me.

Ah, but the irony is that they wanted to charge the teacher with "religous hatred".
talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Particularly in Sudan, for fuck's sake.

So....is Cookie a british slang I don't know about? I don't know of any 'connotations' that would be seen as mischivi...I can't spell that word, I'm not going to try. Anyway, I'll have to google image search for this so called Konnie Huq.

You've never heard of the use of cookie for vayjayjay? Or whatever other pet terms are out there for a vagina.

So, saying 'Konnie Hugs loves to pet Cookie' could have dire ramifications?
