Re: 3 little......BANNED animals

Something I found amusing in Richard Littlejohn's column, todays Daily Mail.

Quote:
Pinky and Perky face a fatwa
Depressingly redictable that a government education agency has banned the Three Little Pigs because it might offend Muslims.

A digital book called the Three Little Cowboy Builders, based on the classic fairytale, has been rejected by a panel judging the annual Educational Resource Awards because the "use of pigs raises cultural issues".

Where do they find these people? I know it doesn't take much to upset Muslims these days, but apart from the usual beheading enthusiasts, is anyone really offended by the Three Little Pigs?

Though this might explain why we haven't seen much of Pinky and Perky lately. Maybe there's a fatwa out on them and they're chained to a radiator somewhere in Bradford.

What we have here is another case of brain-dead white "liberals" taking offence on someone else's behalf to the point of mental illness.

They even complained that the book might "alienate parts of the workforce [building trade]."

"Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down and builders are like pigs?"

Nurse! Since when did brickies become a vulnerable minority?

The only way this book is going to find its way on to a building site is if it's printed in Polish.
