Offensive: Children's Story, Three Pigs story ruled ‘offensive to Muslims’


UK - A children’s story based on the tale of the Three Little Pigs was rejected for an award after judges became concerned that it would offend Muslims.
The animated virtual book for primary school children, The Three Little Cowboy Builders, was also criticised for its potential to offend builders. "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.” Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Nutty News Marketplace
