Three little pigs butchered by PC brigade

A STORY based on the Three Little Pigs has been turned down by awards judges - because the subject matter could offend Muslims and builders.

The CD-Rom digital version of the traditional story of the three little pigs, called Three Little Cowboy Builders, is aimed at primary school children.

But judges at the Bett Award said that they had "concerns about the Asian community and the use of pigs raises cultural issues".

They also warned that the story might "alienate parts of the workforce (building trade)".

The judges criticised the stereotyping in the story of the unfortunate pigs: "Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?
