The City of Chicago would like to remind everyone this holiday season that people are a) dumber than dirt to not realize that there might be something about the holiday of Christmas at a (wait for it) Christmas festival, and b) are so easily offended that they wouldn't be able to bear attending an open-air market sponsored by a movie about a religion different from their own.
"Our guidance was that this very prominently placed advertisement would not only be insensitive to the many people of different faiths who come to enjoy the market for its food and unique gifts, but also it would be contrary to acceptable advertising standards suggested to the many festivals holding events on Daley Plaza," Jim Law, executive director of the (Mayor's Office of special events), said in a statement.
It is important to note that the city didn't order the festival to drop the sponsor, but they for some reason felt obliged to point it out. over-cautionary much (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/27/AR2006112701315.html)?
