Has the world gone mad, The 3 little pigs has been cut from a childrens performance in Huddersfield.

for fear of offending Muslims.
Children from Honley C of E Junior School will portray three little puppies instead at the Kirklees Primary Music Festival in June.
Children from the Honley school are due to perform Roald Dahl's reworking of Little Red Riding Hood as 250 children from other schools sing along.
The famous author's extended version of the popular fairytale includes the three little pigs. Organisers of the festival, which runs from June 12 to 14, decided to change the pigs to puppies so as not to offend Muslim children or parents.
And what exactly is wrong with Little Red Riding hood anyway, the little lass is a nursery story icon. A brave little girl who in the face of overwhelming adversity, awaiting certain imminent dismembering by the jowls of the Big Bad Wolf (BNP supporter in these PC days) stays sweetness and light itself. A legend of innocence?
Perhaps in keeping with this ‘ere thread we should replace her with Red a transsexual lumberjack who gave up his chopper for a buzzsaw. Who went to see his grandad who dressed in women’s clothes and danced around red candles chanting racist utterings of an evening. Red attempting to get his grandfather to change his aberrant ways and open a commune for all to have a love in.

Yeah, and the wolf could be a prejudiced gay basher waiting for him in the woods. Another modern day fairy tale
How about, Jack Wants a Beanstalk... Jackie a is a pre op transexual, she goes down the market to sell her body in order to raise money for said operation. Some crafty homophobe short changes her with some dodgy Es. But all is not what it seems, she takes the Es at a rave and strange things start to happen, Jackie becomes Jack.
I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?

I think Gay Penguins and an egg would be better.
Offending mozzies? If anyone has bothered to ask them, pigs don't offend them, and they think this is more stupid than we do because it casts them in a bad light.
I heard today that the parents and the education authorities are going to give the organisers a right kicking over this! Good job too!

Oh Thanks Sal, with your acknowledgement I feel I have truly arrived in contractor forum heaven. I hope I can call you Sal I feel we have come close and our views are obviously sooo alike on all matters social. I've been racking my brains about how we can get the HIV figures into the penguin story, 5 times more penguins from Africa have HIV than the indigenous British penguins. They are consuming so many antiretroviral sardines that there's not enough hip replacement sardines for Granny Penguins in their own country.
