Let Us Not Offend the Fragile

Okay, so it's England, but this story from Tom is just too rich with irony to pass up.

Novelty pig calendars and toys have been banned by bosses at Dudley Council in case Muslim staff are offended.

Workers in the council's benefits department have been told to remove or cover up all pig products including toys, porcelain, calendars and even a tissue box featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet.

It comes after a Muslim worker said they were offended by pig-shaped stress relievers delivered to the authority.

Just imagine it was happening here and the religion was Christianity. That all Mother Earth fearing liberals had to put away their rainbow flags and Darwin fish lest they offend the delicate sensibilities of our own almost-militant religious "fanatics."

In a way though, we are experiencing this phenominon. Aren't we?
