    Reminds me of how the Danish (?) organic snacks company now known as Easis was still called Isis long after those letters became toxic.

    Personally I found the prospect of terrorists making and selling organic muesli bars pretending to be healthy absolutely hilarious 😂

      What’s toxic about an egyptian goddess? 😜 (to be fair, the terrorist group is called IS, and calling it ISIS was always a bit weird)

        Well Danish news first called it ISIS, then ISIL and then IS. Now they usually use the whole name Islamic State, but in Danish.

      They pretended to be healthy? Wanna bet they’re awful?

      Maybe they should mail them to terrorists. You know. As a weapon against morale

      My friends had a CI wear a wire for a fucking weed sale, but they were watching Archer at the time he was there to pick up. Led to some hilarious questions from idiot cops.
