Jedi Knight Thrown Out Of Supermarket For Not Removing Hood
22 Sep
Ok Now I’ve heard it all.
Jedi Religion Founder Morda Hehol (real name Daniel Jones from Wales) was recently refused his religious right to cover his head at his local tesco.
Morda 'He Hole' with Dildo, taking one for the team.
The Guardian newspaper reports:
Tesco has been accused of religious discrimination after the company ordered the founder of a Jedi religion to remove his hood or leave a branch of the supermarket in north Wales.
Daniel Jones, founder of the religion inspired by the Star Wars films, says he was humiliated and victimised for his beliefs following the incident at a Tesco store in Bangor.
The 23-year-old, who founded the International Church of Jediism, which has 500,000 followers worldwide, was told the hood flouted store rules.
But the grocery empire struck back, claiming that the three best known Jedi Knights in the Star Wars movies – Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker – all appeared in public without their hoods. Jones, from Holyhead, who is known by the Jedi name Morda Hehol, said his religion dictated that he should wear the hood in public places and is considering legal action against the chain.
“It states in our Jedi doctrination that I can wear headwear. It just covers the back of my head,” he said.

A couple of things struck me about this. Firstly, surely the oke can wear a cap indoors right? So why can’t he wear his hoodie? Maybe he should get a Billabong logo on the thing and it’ll all be cool?! I reckon they just didn’t take him seriously cos he was carrying his dildo with him.
Secondly, why did it take a 23 year old to start the religion? I mean its OBVIOUS! This guy now commands a church of half a million people! I’m sure this little PR event will swell those numbers.
Now I have no problem with people worshipping whatever the fuck it is they wanna worship so don’t judge me. I’m all for the light side of the road force. I have a good chuckle at some of the reponses on the Gaurdian website comment section.
Enjoy.
