Banned in England: Winnie the Pooh and Piglet

Alas poor Winnie and Piglet, we did enjoy you so until the vicious monster of political correctness popped like a 50 megaton airburst over your unsuspecting cartoon heads.

So THIS is what is has come down to folks. At what point do we, as a society, tell these knuckle dragging social extortionist cretins to simply "fuck off and die asshole, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT"?

I suggest that time is FAST APPROACHING. If you don't like our pig toys and Pooh calendars, go back to whatever dictator run, economic disaster, rathole you came from. I expect to have to abide by and tolerate the cultural mores, traditions, and laws of a predominantly muslim country when I go there. It is not unreasonable to expect muslims to reciprocate without this sort of bullshit whining when they are in a predominantly non-muslim country.

I'm sorry - this is like buying a house under an airport's approach pattern then voicing retard complaints about the noise. If you don't like the noise, its real simple - don't buy that fucking house.

THE SUN - retards on parade!
NOVELTY pig calendars and toys have been banned from a council office — in case they offend Muslim staff.

Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West Midlands, were told to remove or cover up all pig-related items, including toys, porcelain figures, calendars and even a tissue box featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet.

Bosses acted after a Muslim complained about pig-shaped stress relievers delivered to the council in the run-up to the Islamic festival of Ramadan.

Muslims are barred from eating pork in the Koran and consider pigs unclean.

Councillor Mahbubur Rahman, a practising Muslim, backed the ban. He said: “It’s a tolerance of people’s beliefs.”

Out of curiosity, what would you say to a tenth generation San Antonio Hispanic that was offended by your Frito Bandito?

Same thing I'd say to every professional whiner who gets "offended" at everything - get a life and stop worrying about other people's business. If you got a beef with Frito-Lay, don't buy their products.
