A story based on the Three Little Pigs fairy tale has been turned by a government agency's awards panel as the subject matter could offend Muslims.

The digital book, re-telling the classic story, was rejected by judges who warned that "the use of pigs raises cultural issues".

Becta, the government's educational technology agency, is a leading partner in the annual Bett Award for schools.

The judges also attacked Three Little Cowboy Builders for offending builders.

The book's creative director, Anne Curtis, said the idea that including pigs in a story could be interpreted as racism was "like a slap in the face".

Seriously what the crap. If anyone is so goddamn fragile they're offended by pigs or faulty buildings in a kids' book they can go off and live in their own world free of such unspeakable evil, but for fuck's sake this is a story about not being lazy.

When you do, make it a dicktatorship.

Kill anyone who falls under the following categories:
1. Is obese.
2. Is retarded.
3. Cannot speak/understand English and is here illegally (In CA, I HATE IT when people don't talk English. I can stand people posting in a forum from their native country [Like Yoyorast] in a foreign language, but in real life...).
4. Whose name is Britney Spears (I'll leave Miley Cyrus' fate up to you).
5. Thinks they can rap (Someone in Team Slayer yesterday made up a Halo rap. I was ready to kill myself at the end of the game).
