Warning - this play contains meat

A playwright has been told to warn audiences his show features a roast chicken - to avoid offending vegetarians.

Doug Devaney, 41, is starring in one-man play Mein Gutt, a black comedy about one man's losing battle with obesity.

But Brighton Fringe Festival organisers say the roast chicken in the play could cause offence.
Ananova:

It's official - Britain is totally insane. It's strange how they worry that some things can cause offence and not others. What about the Nativity Play causing offence to atheists?
