Representations of living things are forbidden under strict Islam. Pig flesh is forbidden too (makes people take on the charactistics of pigs such as "sloth and adultery").
Someone should float the suggestion of inviting him to be Grand Marshall in the next parade.
I could see them putting into effect a ban on heating up bacon in the breakroom microwave (pig grease may splatter, scents may linger...).
And some schools have prohibited students from bringing in PBJ sandwiches in case one student may be allergic to peanuts.
Tell me this is just another example of wacky British humor!
Don't bother with Pooh. Just fill your bumper with Piglet, Porky Pig and Piggy Bank pics. That should do the trick. :)
