My first reaction was to think "FFS, how ridiculous!" but after reading the article, if this is a story based on the 3 little pigs, I guess I'd have to read it first. I mean, for all we know it could well be racist! I doubt it, but you never know...

Oh for cryin out loud, some people just have to grow a little bit thicker skin and accept these fairy tale stories for mere entertainment...it's like they are stealing some of our culture away from us, stories we grew up on and told to our kids and with luck will be allowed to tell to our grandkids.

Bah it's time to stop being so twisted up over such things in my opinion.

Maybe that's why they changed it to cowboys. I guess guys with guns and big hats are better builders than bacon :p :wah:

i mean could a muslim really take offence over this or is it the politically correct brigade having an orgasm on their behalf :-5:-5

your thoughts please

Seems like a mixture of "the politically correct brigade having an orgasm on their behalf" and a media exaggeration of one of the reasons the story was rejected.

God I'd hate to see what the furore would have been like if had been called, "The 3 Little Christian Black Lesbians who each bought a timeshare apartment in Mecca and Got Lynched".

Other books that obvously also need to be banned.

Pinnochio: As its offensive to people with big noses

The Wizard of Oz: Xenophobic about Australians

Jack and the Beanstalk: Biased towards Englishmen and is anti-Giant.

The Princess and the Pea: Brings the furniture industry into disrepute

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Encourages obesity, has 7 adults sleeping in a big bed together, and is anti-German because of Augustus Gloop.

Robin Hood: Encourages Vigilantism.

Alice in Wonderland: Encourages Drug Use

Seriously, my answer to people who claim to be offended to this kind of thing at this stage is: "shove it up your self-righteous arses, I hope you are offended as you deserve to be for being such a bunch of tossers". :wah: And I mean that most sincerely.

That's got to be the best post I've read in a long time. Galbally. I could not have put it better myself.
