UK Comedy? Banned Joke Poster for London Vegfest UK

At this years Vegfest UK in London at Kensington Olympia Exhibition Centre on October 5th and 6th there will be a lot of comedy in addition to the usual workshops, music, cookery demos, films,  Yoga, and foodtasting. To highlight the comedy a series of 'jokes in the style of' were released.

This one didn't make it and ended up in the bin.What you you think? Is it a step too far? Is it rascist? or is it just hysterically funny? Is it in bad taste? Was it rightfully censored? or should it go viral?

Does this joke belong in the bin? or on a wall at the Vegan Society?
Here's some of the others that made it onto the VegfestUK Facebook Page.

I wouldn't find anything offensive about the banned poster, found that one and the one about the lightbulb the funniest. I think being aware that vegans can come across as sanctimonious and preachy to others helps us moderate our tone and language while promoting the lifestyle. Reminds me of one of my favourite jokes - how do you know when someone is a vegan? Don't worry they'll ****ing tell you.
