Pigging Out in Britain
Didn't we go through this idiocy already?? This is from Britain, where they obviously have nothing better to do: "A story based on the Three Little Pigs has been turned down from a government agency's annual awards because the subject matter could offend Muslims. The digital book, re-telling the classic fairy tale, was rejected by judges who warned that 'the use of pigs raises cultural issues'. ... The judges also attacked Three Little Cowboy Builders for offending builders... The judges criticised the stereotyping in the story of the unfortunate pigs: 'Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?'"
