I would think they could have gave the "blow up" doll a better name. Will this inflame more people around the world? I think that they should try to find another name, but you have to admit Mustafa Shag is a pretty good name for a sex doll. Guess we'll wait and see...

What a letdown. I was expecting a pun on 'blow-up'.

Whatever, people take themselves too seriously.

I "liked" this comment:

"If anyone has a better name for a blow-up doll, please let us know."

Sounds a bit like they think that "Mustafa Shag" is the obvious best choice for a blow-up doll

Sorry to let you guys down...

Anyway, its a pretty good name, but they could have found a better, less offensive one in my opinion. I'm just wondering if this is going to be the next "outrage" used by clerics and various state leaders to get their public more pissed.

I sure hope that this is not the case - that would just be a bit too surreal for my taste (imagine a boycot against the UK and burning British embassies just because some fools couldn't find an appropriate name for a friggin' sex doll)

I dont know why, but that line cracked me up too. I mean clearly, Mustafa Shag is the best conceivable name.

While I defend the cartoon as political satire by a free press I have to say I am shocked by this. Not the doll itself. A sex doll is merely a thing. But calling it Mustafa and then failing to apologise when people understandably take offence AND calling it political correctness gone mad is indeed shocking.
