The three little cowboy builders

raving loony alert. You've got to laugh, it's just mental.

I hear they're also remaking 'Babe in the city' with Jade Goody starring

Three Little Pigs story "too offensive"
A story based on the Three Little Pigs has been rejected by a government quango in case it offends Muslims.
The digital remake of the children's classic was criticised by Becta, the education technology agency, because "the use of pigs raises cultural issues".
Officials also attacked the story - called The Three Little Cowboy Builders - for stereotyping the building trade, reports the Daily Telegraph.
The comments were condemned by the computer program's creator as "a slap in the face"
The controversy was sparked during an awards ceremony designed to honour the best educational stories, programmes and teaching aids for children.
Dozens of companies submitted entries but Newcastle-based publishers Shoo Fly were shocked when judges told them that their interactive 3D book was unsuitable for children.
In a feedback form, Becta told the company: "Judges would not recommend this product to the Muslim community in particular."
The story for primary school pupils replaces pigs with "cowboy builders" as part of a light-hearted tale designed to spark interest in reading and design technology skills.
But its authors were also told that it portrays the building industry in a bad light.
Judges said "retelling a story" was acceptable, but it "should not alienate parts of the workforce", adding that builders should be "positive" role models for young children.
"Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?" the judges asked.
Anne Curtis, the founder of Shoo Fly, which won a prize at the prestigious Education Resource Awards for the story, said: "The feedback amounted to a verbal assault.
"I feel these criticisms aim to close the minds of teachers and young people to some issues."

It's an interesting reaction as they (the self-elected Muslim Council) opposed a school production of it last year.

But yes, they have announced it as a load of rubbish.

Are there any offended builders on here?

These people who go out of their way to look for things that "may offend" some people, cars offend me, get rid please! Seriously though get a job you losers! Free country, free speach, you havnt taken that away just yet, ill teach my kids (when/if I get some) all about these things!
