A slap in the face to all dragons

[flemmings]

Ganked from i_am_zan:

The Chinese government is reported to have decided against the dragon as its official Olympic mascot because of its connotations abroad.

I am so sad. And, err, if western dragons are all evil fire-breathing maiden-devouring wyrms, what about the red dragon of Wales? Which see. As also this which I think I must buy.

Those lying H0rson Welshmen!

But the contents label *already* says pork. WTF? '100% pork and pork by-product. No dragons were destroyed in the making of this product'?

Sheesh.

Maybe ...

They were worried about people thinking that there would be Komodo Dragon meat in them. You never know! I'm surprised it is happening in Wales.

Kodomo dragon was what leapt to my mind as well. Then things is poisonous. But I think it's pure Brit bureaucracy- no sesne of humour, propportion, or when it's making an ass of itself.
