Well that was kinda pathetic

So we have the Woolworths shopping chain here who decided to stop selling Christian magazines because they weren't selling.

Ignoring the overly dramatic title of the news article (banning Christian mag? Really? How is not selling banning?) it doesn't sound that terrible. The magazines aren't selling so why stock them? That's basic business, don't waste space selling magazines that no one wants.
Of course this upset the Christians, and various other faiths and groups who all like to get upset together, because it was being mean and discriminating against them. How Christians can be the biggest and most influential religious group in the world and still feel like everyone is victimising them I don't know. In any case Woolworths gave up on their policy and is now stocking Christian magazines again.

I'd certainly be interested to hear if the sales of the magazines goes up or not. It's one thing to protest on principle if they stopped selling religious magazines because they were religious (although a shop can choose what to sell and what not to. You don't go and say a shop is banning stuff because they don't stock your favourite brand of cheese) but they stopped selling them because no one bought them! Why the outcry for something hardly anyone wants? How many of those protesters even buy the magazines?

And GOP? Don't think I've seen the term.
