Algeria: A company providing services to the oil industry has fired two workers after restaurant workers and guards saw them simulating sex with sheep due to be sacrificed for the Muslim festival Eid Al Adhha.

The 'sheep violation' drew a stern warning from local police that the festival is considered sacred and taken very seriously by Muslims. "[They] have been dismissed because their behaviour was totally unacceptable," said a company spokesperson.

"If you relate this to teacher Gillian Gibbons they can thank their lucky stars. All she did was name a teddy bear Mohammed," said a British ex-pat in Algeria.

I know it's relevant information to the story, but i just love how the fact that it's offensive to hump sheep in front of muslims is the main focus, as if sheep humping is acceptable to everyone else. Maybe I'm wrong...do you all think it's OK to hump sheep?

Only at the edge of a cliff. So they push back.

No- it's not acceptable. But imagine a woman shoving a crucifix in her ala The Exorcism during a parade in which the Pope is driving by- something tells me everyone would be appalled- but Christians would be outraged.

They're most probably welsh. But isn't the important thing that they weren't shagging the sheep at all - just simulating it?

Still slightly odd.

If people were fired at the last place I worked for being offensive, I would have been fired many times over. LOL. Also, where Fat Mike works too.
