Friend of TFN Matt P. sends us this rather "unthinkable" story that is.... well, pretty unthinkable really.

According to this article at Ananova.com, Daniel Jones, the founding member of the International Church of Jediism, was asked to leave a grocery store for.... wait for it.... wait for it.... refusing to remove his hood from his robe.

Below are some of the quotes from the article:

"Daniel, who works in Bangor, said he'd gone to the store to buy something to eat during his lunch-break but was told by staff to leave unless he took his hood off.

"They said: "Take it off and I said: "No, its part of my religion. It's part of my religious right." I gave them a Jedi church business card," he said.

Daniel has now made an official complaint and is seeking legal advice.

"It was discrimination. They were making a joke against me. I was really upset. Nobody should be treated like that," he moaned.

A Tesco spokesperson said: "Jedis are very welcome to shop in our stores although we would ask them to remove their hoods."


Well, there you have it folks. We live in a day & age where nothing is too crazy or incomprehensible.

Yikes...
