Okay its rant time, apparently in the U.S there is a drink called an "irish car bomb". This is is sooo offensive its unreal! Speaking as an irish person myself. The Omagh bombings or the troubles in the north are not something to be taken lightly.

I for one find this to be racist! Ah irish people have never been slandered against racially aside from the drunk slurs (which are true). Thats it but to to bring up the Omagh bombings. Argh!!

Do not drink that highly offending drink on the basis of its name. It is sooo disrepsectful. I want to kill the idiot who came up with the name for the drink.!

Rant done!

I've never heard of that drink, but I agree that it's a horrible, despicable name. I know a little bit of history pertaining to bombings in Ireland, and I equate this with another country having a drink that has something to do with the 9/11 attacks. Not cool, at all.

I actually heard of it whilst reading a clois fic on kryptonsite,its a great fic btw =)(clark and lois, the auction, check it out). I thought i had just mistakenly read the wrong words but i googled it and i couldn't believe it!

Like you said it would be like someone having a 9/11 drink. It has taken too many years to get some sort of peace in the north and for it to be mocked by a drink is just soo grrr.

Nowadays no one really talks about the troubles because they are best leftbehind imo. Stupid drink!
