P-p-p-piglet Saved?

The workplace Piglet ban is being reviewed. (Link via Fark)

Councillor Pat Martin told a full council meeting: "I fully support the actions by management to respond to the concerns from colleagues following established and approved procedures.

"However I'm satisfied these procedures need to be reconsidered to make them compatible with the current law on what's deemed to be offensive in the workplace. Therefore I've ordered an urgent review of the procedures.

"In Dudley we rightly pride ourselves on being fair and reasonable employers but we will not accept extreme forms of political correctness."

Urgent reviews are what Tiggers like best!

The whole thing's a bit silly, isn't it? I mean, if you removed everything from the workplace that offended someone, we'd all be working from home.

And how about all those Muslim foreign exchange students at the U of A....home of the Razorbacks. If pigs are so offensive, why are they there?

Is there any chance that they really don't have a clue what a "Razorback" is?
