Jedi ejected from Tesco for wearing hood

[damntexdem]

Not new, but I haven't seen it on here:

"The founder of the Star Wars-inspired Jedi faith has accused Tesco of religious discrimination after he was banned from wearing a hood in one of its stores.

Daniel Jones, 23, who created the International Church of Jediism, claims he was “victimised over his beliefs” by staff at the supermarket in Bangor, North Wales.

The religion, inspired by the sci-fi films, is practised by 500,000 around the world and requires believers to cover their heads in public places. But Mr Jones, from Holyhead, said that staff ejected him from the store over security fears when he refused to remove his hood."

...

From Holyhead yet -- and he can't wear a religious hood on his holy head -- at least not while shopping.

LOL!

1. Not much of a Jedi.

Why didn't he just gesture and say "This is not the hood you're looking for"?

6. We do know that such tricks wouldn't work on individuals like

Jabba The Rush.

7. So 500,000 followers of Jedism and all Glenn Beck got was a lousy 60,000.

I suppose there are some proportional elements to be weighed amongst the batshit segments of the world's population.

It appears believing that you are an actual Jedi is less audacious than teabagging on the streets of D.C.

8. Why didn't he do a mind trick?
