souderwan discovered 4 months ago- Political correctness gone mad? Three Little Pigs raises "cultural issues", apparently. I don't know whether to put this under humor or bizzare. Read for yourself and decide.

- "Three Little Pigs 'too offensive'
A story based on the Three Little Pigs fairy tale has been turned by a government agency's awards panel as the subject matter could offend Muslims.
The digital book, re-telling the classic story, was rejected by judges who warned that "the use of pigs raises cultural issues".
Becta, the government's educational technology agency, is a leading partner in the annual Bett Award for schools.
The judges also attacked Three Little Cowboy Builders for offending builders.
The book's creative director, Anne Curtis, said the idea that including pigs in a story could be interpreted as racism was "like a slap in the face"." - "Three Little Pigs 'too offensive'
