are they for real??

[Me, My Girls & I]

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-banned-farm-set-avoid-offending-Muslims.html political correctness gone crazy if you ask me!! its a bloody kids toy!

 

[Toonlass]

WTF!! What have Muslims got against pig toys like. And why remove the toy to keep them happy, what about the rest of us. It's daft like xx

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

cos pigs are seen as unclean animals, its the same with judaism, they cant eat certain things, i think prawns and shrimps are the same like cos they're on the bottom of the sea with all the shite! its the same as kiddies cant sing baa baa black sheep these days, you have to go round all the different coloured sheep, cos obvs you see pink sheep in the fields ready to give you some wool

 

[Elfs Mummy]

Its a toy !! and pigs live on farms ! a little to far it think xx

 

[MrsR]

How are children supposed to learn about pigs if everyone starts removing them from toys? Have Muslim and Jewish people been asked if they find them offensive or have elc just gone right ahead and assumed?

Mmg&i we used to sing Baa Baa Black Sheep AND Baa Baa Pink sheep at nursery as the pink sheep was the sheep when it had been shorn.

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

i think elc just assumed they were offensive! they've put them back in now tho but still!

yea i get the shorn bit actally, thinking about it! although all the other colours they use now are just ridiculous!

I heard that you can't call Ginger bread men men anymore, it has to be a Ginger bread person! It's all just mental man xx

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

[Toonlass]

never noticed TBH. There are loads of things that have been changed and taken away to be PC. Gollywoggs for example (although i think they are back??) I wonder if they even offended anyone? They were off a marmalade advert weren't they? xx

[megsmeadow]

Yeah it's the wog part of gollywog that's offensive, I think they are simply golly's these days......and Ross has one! OH's mum was in Australia before he was born and apparently the dolls are huge over there so she got him one. It sits next to the pure white cotton teddy my mum knitted him, you know for equality
PC'ness has just gone crazy!! In fairness we had red sheep at one point, on famous pyramids off the motorway outside livingston http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/6521149.stm
