Ban Pink Pigs-NOW
 

Apparently the Early Learning Centre have been selling Farmyard sets which included a cute little pink pig( saw it in todays Sun headlines in Morrisons).
They then started removing the cute little pink pigs because they 'might offend Muslims or Jews'! And 'Quite Right' I hear you all call.
Some mother then had the EFFRONTERY to complain that she had paid for a full set and where was her childs cute little pink pig! The above was the explanation.
Presumably under extreme pressure from right wing racist groups the ELC have now agreed to put the cute little pink pigs back in the sets!
Now is the time for PROTEST! Cut out a cute little pig in cardboard, colour it pink and after a PEACEFULL demonstration outside your local ELC burn your cute little pink pig!
This is the only way to show that you support the ELC in its original stupid, politically correct decision.
Muslim mothers apparently were totally bemused. I'm pleased but not surprised, I think we could offend THEM by treating them with this PC madness.

Personally I remember having a set of farm animals with a black and pink pig, never liked it, neither one thing or the other, how could such a creature be trusted by anybody?

Re: Ban Pink Pigs-NOW
 

What about the sheepdogs? - aren't dogs regarded as 'dirty' by muslims - did they consider removing them too?

....and the poor holy cows on behalf of the Hindus?

A farmyard is not complete without all of them.
If they offend your religion...............DON'T BUY

Not noticeably Less. But it is approaching Christmas, time of goodwill to all men(and MargaretR)
Can I take it you two won't be making cardboard cute little pink pigs, then?

Just imagine how boring a farm set would be for a vegetarian child.
The crops would just sit there looking pretty.
