Nutter's "The idiots are winning" thread number 14

Three Little Pigs book 'offensive to Muslims', say judges
Article from: AAP

A CHILDREN'S book based on the classic tale of the Three Little Pigs has been rejected for an award amid fears it could offend Muslims.

Judges for the Bett Awards criticised the animated virtual book, The Three Little Cowboy Builders, saying its use of pigs as the main characters raised "cultural issues".

They also believed the book could offend builders.

"Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs," the judges wrote.

"The idea of taking a traditional tale and retelling a story is fine, but it should not alienate parts of the workforce.

"Judges would not recommend this product to the Muslim community in particular."

Ann Curtis, whose company Shoo Fly Publishing produced the book, branded the judges' criticisms unjustified.

"I felt disbelief, to be honest," she told The Times newspaper.

"As a small company we have a strong ethical and moral grounding.

"To be told that we cynically set out to alienate minority groups is a very narrow-minded view."

fucking hell.

honestly, who gives a fuck if something "offends"?

you know what's fucking offensive? having someone's unprovable superstitions rammed down our fucking throat every 5 minutes. or that some sections of society seem to be unable to deal with their own fucking "offence" and get the fuck over it.

and you people wonder why i rant and rave about this bullshit all the time. are you happy with this state of affairs? are you? this is EXACTLY the kind of bullshit that occurs because some of you think religion is "harmless" or should be "respected". yeah, respect it so much that it can turn around and give you the big fucking finger in a society that was built on freedoms.

fuck you political islam. you're a fucking disgrace.
