Fragile faith they have there if they require the government to make sure they are not offended.

Idaho Regulators Ban 'Five Wives Vodka,' Cite Offensiveness To Mormons | LocalNews8.com
Where does it say that these wives are all married to the same man?
Someone is over interpreting here?

Can we ban Mormons since they are offensive to the entire world?

LOL at me. Now I see the deeper offense. Each is holding a pussy-cat in her skirts. At that level. However, I would still laugh and go on. It is too subtle to argue about.

I think the problem here (which you all seem to be missing) is that it is ONLY five wives Vodka. Call it '35 Wives Vodka' and the issue for Mormons goes away...

If they called it 'Five Pussies Vodka', I presume that would remove the cause of offense, and the name could remain as it now is.

Re: 'Five Wives Vodka' Banned in Idaho; Offensive to Mormons
You would have to market-test the two different labels to see which would be less offensive to that population. The company might want to fight the issue.
OTOH, why are Mormons going into liquor stores? All they need to do is obey the WoW and they can avoid being exposed to offensive material.
This is another example of Mormons believing that freedom of religion gives them license to violate the rights of others.
