Bicycle Shaped Object or BSO is a jargon typically used by people to refer poor quality bicycles. It is alleged that large supermarkets with no history or experience in bicycle industry, import and sell cheap quality push bikes. These bikes are un-assembled and come in a box and are called 'flat pack bikes'. These bicycles often feature premium accessories like disc brakes, index shifters, and shocks at very low prices. These bicycles may be heavy, have poor quality gear shifting and brakes. Pre-assembled bikes may be poorly assembled and some owners report parts falling off the bike shortly after purchase. Generally these bicycle are made in Asian countries (primarily China) from generic bicycle manufacturers and are shipped under various brand names. Although some of these bicycle do provide good service for some time, most do not and may go out of service much quicker than branded bicycles (assuming similar use).
Possible disadvantages
Handlebars and controls
May be poorly aligned or loose. These controls need to been tightened up just after purchase. Quality of the fasteners may be poor and they may become loose in transit. May be equipped with grip shifters which perform far below quality bicycles and fail soon after purchase.
Wheels
The front and rear wheels may not be aligned correctly. Brake arms may contact the edge of the tyre. Wheels may lose firmness and bend after a few weeks/months of use.
Balls within the bearing assembly (rear hub) may break under normal pressure thus cause mis-rotation and noise which may lead to loss of control and riding pleasure.
Brakes
Brakes may be one of the weakest points of these bicycles. They may lean over to the side. When applying the brakes, the brake arms may come in to contact with the tyre. Springs within the brakes may loose tension quickly thus causing the brakes to touch the rim/wheel even when the brake lever is released. Brake levers may be made out of plastic and break after minor falls.
Gears
The front derailleur may be too high above the front chain set, thus the gears do not change properly, or do not change at all.
Frame
These bicycles may be made with a cheap and heavy frame, with poor quality fit and finish. They may rust quickly.
Price range
Usually between AU $80 to $200 (Australian Dollars)

Anti-Christian sentiment in the West refers to an opposition to Christian people, or the practice of Christianity in the Western world. Christophobia or Christianophobia are also names for "every form of discrimination and intolerance against Christians" according to Council of European Episcopal Conferences (CCEE). Pope Benedict XVI stated in his 2011 World Day of Peace discourse that "Christians are the religious group which suffers most from persecution on account of its faith". The Vatican has criticized initiatives by Western countries to ban crucifixes from public places, ranging from classrooms to courtrooms. popular animated sitcom The Simpsons, South Park and 2003 mystery-detective novel The Da Vinci Code have been criticized as "grave attacks and blasphemies against the Christian religion". Various media responses have dismissed these accusations and have defended their respective portrays as freedom of speech. Nevertheless, a growing number of Christians see this as a human rights issue and reason that depictions in the media should be monitored.
Anti-Christian expressions
Vandalism
The vandalism or defacement of Christian symbols or property is one form of the expression of anti-Christian sentiment. If the defaced or vandalized object is considered holy by Christians, such as the Bible, the Cross, or an image of Christ or a saint, the case becomes that of desecration. Such destruction may also be illegal if it violates property rights or hate crime laws. Arson directed at Christian meeting places or churches is often considered a hate crime. However, churches may also be targeted for reasons unrelated to anti-Christian sentiment, especially racism.
According to the Crown, the burning of a church in Minnedosa, Manitoba was committed by two fans of National Socialist black metal music with anti-Christian themes. Vandals stole a wooden statue of Virgin Mary, from the Saint Albert the Great Parish of Calgary, Canada in August 2008 detached her hands, tried to incinerate it, and threw into a ditch along the nearby 22x Highway. In 2010, vandals daubed graffiti and attempted to burn down the White Church of Baildon, West Yorkshire, marking the church with the sign of the pentagram and scrawling anti-Christian graffiti upon it.
Music
Some fans of black metal and witch house music declare open hatred of Christianity. Headliners of the black metal genre have claimed responsibility for inspiring (if not necessarily perpetrating) over fifty arsons directed at Christian churches in Norway from 1992 to 1996. The most notable church was Norway's Fantoft Stave Church, which the police believed was destroyed by the one-man band Burzum, Varg Vikernes, also known as "Count Grishnackh".
Christmas Controversy
The term "Christmas controversy" refers to the issue surrounding the celebration or acknowledgment of the Christmas holiday in government, media, advertising, and various secular environments. In the past, Christmas-related controversy was mainly restricted to concerns of a public focus on secular Christmas themes such as Santa Claus and gift-giving, rather than what is sometimes expressed by Christians as the real "reason for the season"—the birth of Jesus. Christmas Day is recognized as an official federal holiday by the United States government, and few have raised objections to this designation; however, many groups, such as the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State, argue that government-funded displays of Christmas imagery and traditions violate the U.S. Constitution—specifically the First Amendment, which prohibits the establishment by Congress of a national religion. The battle over whether religious displays should be placed within public schools, courthouses, and other government buildings, has been heated in recent years. In the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland there have been some minor controversies, one of the most famous being the temporary promotion of the phrase Winterval for a whole season of events (including Christmas festivities) by Birmingham City Council in the late 1990s.
British Broadcasting Company (BBC)
According to a survey of BBC viewers, conducted by the Corporation itself, the BBC is regarded as anti-Christian. The survey found that Christians are portrayed with "derogatory stereotypes" and presented as "weak" and "bigoted". The BBC dismissed the findings of its report, and a spokesman claimed it "has strict editorial guidelines on impartiality" and that it "does not have anti-Christian bias". One respondent said: "As a Christian I find that the BBC’s representation of Christianity is mainly inaccurate, portraying incorrect, often derogatory stereotypes". Another added: "Seldom do we find a Christian portrayed in drama, and when we do, it is usually a weak person or a bigot". Another said Christians were "represented as dogmatic and unsympathetic or as weak and washy and woolly, or as old". In 2010, the BBC was accused of bias against Christianity in EastEnders over its portrayal of murderous pastor Lucas Johnson, who was obsessed with the Bible. Furthermore, the Corporation sparked outrage in 2005 when it aired the controversial Jerry Springer: The Opera. It was one of the most complained about shows in television history.
Film
Many examples of perceived disrespect or unnecessary anti-Christian blasphemy have been observed in many popular films.
James Bond
In the GoldenEye movie, Janus states "What's true is that in twenty-four hours, you and I will have more money than God". Furthermore, in Tomorrow Never Dies, Carver says, "Soon I'll have reached out to and influenced more people than anybody in the history of this planet, save God Himself. And the best He ever managed was the Sermon on the Mount!" However, both of these characters are villains, so the films could more plausibly be interpreted as criticizing anti-Christian sentiment rather than as promoting it.
Fantastic Four
The Fantastic Four movie has Johnny Storm saying that Victor Von Doom has more money than God. In comparison, Reed Richards is worth "less than a postage stamp".
Kill Bill
Hattori Hanzo on his latest sword says, "I can say with no ego that this is the finest sword I have ever built. Should you encounter God on your quest, God will be cut".
Monty Python's Life of Brian
In Monty Python's Life of Brian, it is stated that "All I did was say to my wife, 'That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah!'"
