    I don’t want to take your accomplishment from you but this somehow feels like the anecdote about ancient Egyptology being a literal pyramid scheme. i.e. only job you get is a lecturer in ancient Egyptology. My thoughts are known to be highly incoherent so don’t ask how is this even remotely connected. It makes sense in my brain, just roll with it for a while.

    Somehow I feel like your achievement wouldn’t be possible without millionaires who can afford regular ski-trips. So you are kinda subsidized by them and the subsidy quota isn’t high as there can only be so many ‘instructors’.


  • It’s not that all Muslim’s hate dog (1. dislike is not the same as hate, and 2. of course you can’t generalize all muslims dislike dogs). But stricter practitioners of Islam don’t keep dogs for the similar reason they don’t consume pork. Something about dirty animals (haram).

    Don’t take my word for it [1] [2] [3]

    To quote directly from some scriptures (copy pasted from the third link) :

    That the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever acquires a dog - with the exception of a dog to guard livestock, a hunting dog, or a farm dog - each day a Qirat is deducted from his reward. [Abu Dawood]

    I heard Allah’s Apostle(P.B.U.H) saying; “Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal).” [Hadith - Bukhari 3:515]

    I doubt however many Muslims know why they shouldn’t have dogs as pets as usually they are just told by their parents or elders that they shouldn’t. It’s the same thing in all religions.

    I have a dog, and I generally agree with the notion.

    But, this is about Muslims isn’t it,? I wouldn’t be surprised if there is another one about bacon. This ad is pandering to the populace in the UK who is tending towards racism and xenophobia, most against but not limited to muslims. From market research standpoint, the same populace is probably also big on alcohol consumption so from perspective of market recognition and penetration, this is quite clever.
