PIGS ARE OFFICIALLY NON-EXISTENT

Welcome to 1984. Now please erase all reference to pigs from your library.
They no longer exist.
At least not in civilized public discourse.
There will be burnings.


The BBC article linked below highlights politically correct taken to an absurd degree.


In short: The Brits have shitcanned the three little pigs (children's story, nota bene), because mention of pigs might, conceivably, be offensive to Muslims - and mention of buildings that collapse might offend builders.

I do not recall any builders objecting to the tale before.
And there does not seem to in any way be a jihad against the story of the three little pigs among Muslims - there have been no porcine anecdote riots, no screaming throngs breaking windows anytime a pork-commercial has shown on teevee, no burning of cookbooks - the Muslims just ain't offended by the story existing.


Why did the idea of porky references all of a sudden become an issue?
The Jews haven't demanded that the story be obliterated. It may not be a story told or read much in Jewish schools....... And it probably is not a favourite bedtime story in the frum community either. But I do not recall any yiddishe riotim over hog tales.

Even in Mea Shearim, there have been no pork-inspired bleach-splatterings or garbage can fires.

It ain't an issue.

Muslims haven't made it an issue.


But some moronic bureaucrat (probably with eco-terrorist sympathies) thinks it is.

Okay then. Let me assert that the tale of Chicken Little is hideously offense to adherents of Santeria and the entire municipality of Petaluma. As a chicken-respecting individual, I demand that Chicken Little be destroyed.

Obliterated.

Burned.

Preferably with barbecue sauce.
Zesty barbecue sauce.
Jes' don't invite any bureaucrats to the feast - those poopheads don't appreciate the finer things in life anyway.

I have always felt that the story of the Three Little Pigs was somewhat denigrating to wolves.

Mmmm, pig. I find that many recipes calling for pork can use turkey equally well. In fact, we just made some lovely cupcake tin mini-turkey pies yesterday. Delicious.
