No-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He's even grown to like it. Oh yes. -Zathras

Bah, that's a perfectly good joke to have in a staff magazine. I don't see why they should need to apologise for it - It's not like it was in a large scale TV advert or anything. People are too sensitive these days...

Thing that makes me laugh is the fact that if this had appeared on the cover of 'Time' or a similar magazine under the title 'Terrorism - How Safe Are We?', it would have been cutting edge commentary, but because it appears in a staff mag, it's inappropriate...

:yes:

Can't agree more. It was a silly little joke. Nothing more.
