Just like people rewrite the phrase as “Merry Xmas” or non-christ substitutes like cats in “Merry Kitmas”, they were trying to make a ham-holiday. A Mass made of Ham. A Ham Mass/feast. Sadly, there is a war on so anything close to ‘Hamas’ is no longer suitable for mass-market humor. “Merry Kitmas”“Sez you”
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.
Not entirely true. Go eat a ham sandwich outside a Hasidic synagogue when they’re being let out of temple; probably gonna cause a stir. Especially if said temple is in Israel proper.
Granted, I’d find it hard to believe such a sandwich eater wasn’t trying to stir shit, so maybe getting yelled at is justified….but you see my point, i hope
Adding context that makes it an obvious attempt to insulting does not contradict the statement that they don't care about others eating ham. They care about the obvious intent to be offensive.
Keep in mind that if someone was eating a sandwich it would be hard for them to even know if it was ham without the person making a scene about it.
(edit)
Jokes aside, it also took me forever, and I went through the exact same list of who might be offended. Who reads “Ham-mas” on a christmas bag and even when saying it out loud associates it with Hamas? I mean it’s not like anybody still associates Christmas with Christ, so who cares what the first part is. Give me Crisp-mas with lots of crackers!
I bet it was the same person who came up with the name of the workplace on Archer.
Pissed off some ancient Greek God and is now cursed to come up with amazing names and slogans that will become touch of death within months. Doomed to roam the earth from marketing group to marketing group. When he dies his tombstone will read “here lies the man who named it The Dangerous Life of Altarboys”
