In the "You've Got To Be Kidding Me" PC Dept.

It never fail to amaze me what PC idoits will come up with, and the Brits are leading the pack in PC idiotcy. First we had a statue of Piglet, from Winnie the Pooh being taken down because it "offended" Muslims, now the PC idiots at banks are going to BAN piggy banks.
British banks are prohibiting piggy banks because they may offend some Muslims.

The United Kingdom's Halifax and NatWest banks have banned the ubiquitous time-honored symbol of saving from being given to children or used in their advertising, the British paper Daily Express reports.

Salim Mulla, secretary of the Lancashire Council of Mosques, endorsed the bank initiative

"This is a sensitive issue and I think the banks are simply being courteous to their customers,” he said.

This latest from the world of the politically correct follows the recent banning of novelty pig calendars from a U.K. council office — in case they offend Muslim staff.

Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West Midlands, reportedly were told to remove or cover up all pig-related items, including toys, porcelain figures, calendars and even a tissue box featuring Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet.

Officials acted after a Muslim complained about pig-shaped stress relievers delivered to the council in the run-up to the Islamic festival of Ramadan.

Councilor Mahbubur Rahman, a practicing Muslim, backed the ban, saying "It’s a tolerance of people’s beliefs.”

This act is NOT "tolerance of people’s beliefs", it is ass kissing plain and simple. Tolerance is recognizing that it may offend Muslims, ass kissing is "whatever you say Osama", and banning piggy banks is ASS KISSING. Why would you want to kiss someone's ass that is trying to convert or kill you? It makes no sense. I live in a CHRISTIAN nation, and I am tolerant of other people, but the hell if I am going to bend over and kiss their ass if it "offends" them. This is America, Abdul, if you don't like it, go to Britain, they will kiss your ass.
