After all, the police took action to ban this humorous entry in a carnival parade.
It probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Stuck for inspiration about what to wear at their village carnival, one group made a last-minute decision to dress up in mock Muslim burkas.Calling themselves the "Page Three Beauties from the Ramalama Ding-Dong Times", the 17 men and women carried placards with made-up names such as "Miss Hairyarmpitsbad", "Miss Slackistan", "Miss Notbadinbedabad" and "Miss Reallyamanistan".
As they walked the one-mile parade route, the group knelt down in mock prayer and used fake compasses to try to find Mecca.
Their routine impressed carnival judges - a mayor, two district councillors and a parish councillor - and they were shortlisted for the "best entry" prize.
But before any awards were handed out, police told the group to leave after complaints about racism.
And all it took was six unidentified "students from out of the area" to complain and get the group hustled out of the area.
I somehow doubt that a group mocking priests or nuns or Hare Krishnas would have received similar treatment.
But then again, those folks don't threaten you with death for mocking them.
