Is it really not OKKK ?

Krispy Kreme doughnuts .. mmmmm.

But now the purveyors of these tasty treats are in deep, deep trouble. They've fired up the PR people:

“Krispy Kreme apologises unreservedly ..  an internal investigation is currently underway.”

Wow. What have they done? Did someone sneeze into the mix? Is there horsemeat in the pink icing? Has an errant chef made love to a batch? Nah...

What they've done is far, far worse. Oh yes. They have "offended" some people. They referred to the Krispy Kreme Klub by its initials. Which are also - oh no - the initials of a racist organisation in America.

And someone, somewhere - in fact several people - have decided that the use of the letter 'K' is this way is "..inappropriate". Their feelings are hurt. They are - as fucking usual - "offended".

Dear god, fuckwits, get a fucking grip...

Actually I do find spelling Crispy, Cream and Club with the letter "K" quite offensive. Surely I kan't be alone in this?

Welcome back. Just couldn't stand suffering in silence any longer, huh? Me neither. Still, there's always Bloggers Anonymous: Hello, my name's North and I can't stand Britain any more...

Oddly, from my days working in the City, I don't recall any demonstrations outside the London office of the Banque National de Paris: obviously the SWP and CAGE were busy elsewhere.
