The Quebec government's proposal for a charter of values that would ban public servants from wearing certain religious symbols at work has now officially been reduced to absurdity.

Two new parody ads feature a young girl who is forced to give up her snowsuit because it too closely resembles a burka and told not to use plus signs because they evoke the Christian cross.

The fake commercials were written and directed by Pierre-Luc Miville and Robin Summer and posted on the Idle Bird YouTube channel.

A photo providing clarification on the new rules was released by Quebec's PQ government Tuesday and was immediately skewered by media and politicians alike.

1. "plus signs are just another way of forcibly exposing people to your religion

and they were invented by Nicole Oresme, a MEDIEVAL person"
