This is interesting… an AP news article reports that Malaysia’s Islamic body says Cadbury chocolates are free from pork. This finding reverses an earlier one in which porcine DNA was found in two of Cadbury’s chocolate products, causing a recall. Here’s the money line: The controversy sparked a furor among Muslim groups, who acused the British confectionary company of trying to “weaken” Muslims in Malaysia. That porcine DNA is powerful stuff, akin to Kryptonite to Superman, no? Shhh… don’t tell Aziz, but humans share something like 84% of DNA with Porky Pig (disclaimer: yeah, I know, the percentage is debatable and it could be more in the rNA, etc., blah, blah, blah… save it). Makes me think of the cows painting the billboards to implore us humans to Eat mor Chikin. I’m thinking of a new ad campaign. “Porktonite? That’d be super, man.”
