Political Correctness Gone Pig Wild - Piggy Banks Banned

The innocuous, lovable piggy bank of your childhood days is now banned in England. Two banks there have come to the brilliant conclusion that piggy banks are offensive to Muslims, since Muslims consider pigs to be impure. Besides no longer given out piggy banks to children, the bank will also no longer use pigs in their advertisements. Naturally, the local Council of Mosques endorsed the idea.

In a related news item, a U.K. council office banned novelty pig calendars because - you guessed it - they might offend the Muslim community. Workers in the benefits department of the council were told to remove or cover up all pig related items, including toys, porcelain figures, calendars & even a tissue box featuring Winnie-the-Pooh & Piglet.

And in a further pig related news item, a head teacher in England banned all books containing pig related stories in the classroom.

In all these cases, the common term was "being sensitive to other cultures." This is pure insanity. There is the common-sensical notion of being sensitive to another culture as opposed to the non-sensical notion of kissing their ass. Where is the sensitivity to Christians, who are daily assaulted about their beliefs & celebrations. A Texas school bans green & red paper plates & napkins during their "Winter Holiday", because in their warped minds red & green are too Christmas & thus too Christian.

If stupidity can reach the point that pig images are banned in the world, then why not just ban everything that exists. Afterall, someone somewhere is bound to be offended by something. Why this sudden sensitivity to Muslims "feelings" is a mystery. However, to balance out this sensitivity with a little insensitivity, we at American Values offer the following to pig-offended Muslims:

Pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, oink, oink, pig, pork-chops, yummy bacon, your wife is a pig, your daughter's a pig, Ms. Piggy, Piggly Wiggly, pig in a poke, pigging out, pig roast, Arnold the pig, pickled pig parts, pork rinds, pig, pig pig. We hope a plague of flying pigs pounces ponderously on pork hating paranoid Muslim countries. We would like to comment further, but this little piggy is going to market.
