Mumbles Lannister Does It Again — Bans Casket For Purple Shamrock’s Irish Wake This Saturday

Proving once again that he loves diversity unless it involves the Irish, our esteemed mayor has banned the Purple Shamrock from using AN EMPTY CASKET in a traditional “Irish Wake” this Saturday as the Faneuil Hall bucket of blood closes its doors for the last time. That’s right, you can only trot out a casket in Boston if there’s a dead fucking body in it, dominant culture be damned!

What a fucking joke and slap in the face to a beloved ethnic tradition in a city steeped in more Hibernian history than any other on the continent. You think he’d try to ban ghosts at a North End feast? Or death-conjuring images at an AIDS walk in Bay Village? Or boa constrictors and Skull Island get-ups at the South End Voodoo-Fest? Get the fuck outta here.

This is straight up bigotry, plain and simple. Puritanism at its finest. Can’t have the children see an empty pine box carried by a pack of Jameson-swilling turkeys looking to get their final puke on at Union Street now, can we? Nope, gotta undo hundreds of years of tradition so that Boston only rolls full caskets.

I guess it could always be worse. It could be Cambridge.

Is this what the Obama administration meant by "hurting the religious feelings of others"?

Is there anything worse than Irish people whining about anti Irish discrimination, like they are on the level with black dudes and Jews? I get it, 100 years ago people put up signs saying Irish Need Not Apply. Now an Irish last name is like a license to get a blow job, lighten up.

The Purple Shamrock? Place is the exact same shit hole as The Tap, Hennessy's and and every other Faneuil Hall hellhole. I mean, don't get me wrong. If you're looking for a room full of horny 22 year old bros in their finest Aeropostle polos, who just carpooled in from Holliston and Attleboro, then you know JUST where to go. Nothing like a dark room full of enough testosterone to rape a small village and more awkward white people dance moves than any DJ could ever dream of...

Are we sure Mumbles really banned the casket and wasn't really asking if someone would take him to Nantasket?

RA, and this is what the Shamrock (named in honor of Mayor Curley) gets for trying to do the Irish wake on the up-and-up and getting a permit. If this were Davis Square, you know for sure this would be allowed. They should have a pine box in the bar standing up with an effigy of Menino's body inside.

@dblcougrhunter, we're dealing with the Irish, not exactly heavyweights in the intellect department. Their IQs are around the same number as the alcohol content in the beer they're drinking.

Mumbles is a Wop, bro. He can't be Puritan. The Puritans were English. Still, this is pretty shitty of Mumbles.

Otwisted needs to move out of his mother's basement, stop with his sex change operation, put down his wine cooler, try and grow a pair, and show up at the Shamrock tonight. Many unintelligent Irish will be there, including this one, with my Master’s Degree. The best part of you ran down your mother's leg.

Do you have a Master's Degree FATSO? Probably not since you don't know the English language. "Some of the dumbest motherfuckers I work have Masters.". I could be wrong, but shouldn't there be a "with" in that sentence? It must suck being a complete moron. At least we know you're not Irish, or thin.

Mumbles is a joke. Doesn't matter if he's prejudice against Irish or not (most italians are anyway to some degree...still got plenty of guido friends), he's made such a laughingstock of the italians w/ his utter incompetency it more than makes up for it. Funny thing about italians though - lots of stuff they're proud about, being tan and dark and all that, well that's because you're ancestors were gang raped by a bunch of nignogs (true story - true "heritage romans" were blue eyed blonds). I'd rather be a ghost white Irishman w/ untainted genes any day!
