Friends of the Pig’s Arms,
I received this Email in our contributors in-box, and in the spirit of open dialogue, I present it here. Cheddar warning !

=================================================
Hello
My Fellow American is a film project in the United States devoted to recognizing that Muslims are our neighbors. I am reaching out to you because you addressed the recent events in Oslo, Norway, on Window Dresser’s Arms Pig & Whistle and I am hoping you will share this message of tolerance with your readers. We’ve put together a 2 minute film that I believe you will be interested in sharing, watching, and discussing:
I would love it if you could post or tweet about this and share the video. If you can, please let me know. I am here if you have any questions. Thank you so much.
Elizabeth

Fat Pizza pizzas, they’re big and they’re cheesy

Take the accent out, replace America/ns with Australia/ns and you could very well be listening to the parrot.

Quite so, Algie. Quite so. But, I daresay, it’s pretty near a world-wide phenomenon.

Certainly could easily be Newcastle, in spite of the fact that we have stacks of Muslims (and Hindi, Buddhists, Calathumpians and what have you) studying at the uni!!

We have much the same at Club Mac, Big M. Poor buggers being exploited in shonky illegal boarding houses.

It’s a bizarre way of selling a message: filling the whole sound with the opposite message!
Fuck! I’m so glad I don’t live in that god-drenched country!

It reminds me of an american psychology experiment using mothers and their toddlers.
Mother at one end of the room, toddler at the other. Mother calls the baby to come to her with an angry voice and hand gestures that say the opposite. Then, the reverse: Mother sweetly calls the baby to go away and hand gestures are telling it to go to her.
It was a silly experiment -just like all psych experiments- that tried to see the effects of mixed messages. Probably concocted by some PhD student… in America.
Looks like the makers of the video thought mixed messages are an effective means of communication.
Bleh!
