No harm to any religion. Itâs just a lamp ads by an Australian company. However, itâs funny!
Iâm going to cry đđ
Ahaha, the reason why Mohammad is specifically mentioned as not being able to be there is because in Islam, portrayals and portraits of Mohammad are forbidden. But they didnât want to be seen as either hand waving him as at the table but not shown or as explicitly omitted.
Very smart move there advertising script writers.
This is so wholesome
was that last dude a frikkin Jedi
In Australia more than 70,000 people (0.37%) declared themselves members of the Jedi order in the 2001 census. Now granted, many of them were taking the piss but that is if nothing else a lot of piss-takers. An even greater percentage of the New Zealand population self-identified as Jedi in the 2001 census - 1.5%, which to put it in perspective is 0.3% more than said they were Buddhists. Weâre due for another census this year (the normal five year pattern got thrown off by the Canterbury earthquake in 2011 so the most recent one was 2013) and due to popular demand it appears that on the new forms, there will actually be a box you can mark for Jedi, rather than it being a write-in option. (Theyâre also going to include things like identifying more denominations of Christianity and Judaism and more recently formed systems like Falun Gong, but obviously itâs the Jedi who make for a fun headline.)
So including a Jedi at the table of religious figures reflects an actual cultural (if not sincerely religious) phenomenon in this part of the world.
