What's up with Britain lately?

First it was the Piglet tissue boxes, and now it's Piggy banks?!? Personally I'm offended by almost everything having to do with Brittany Spears. Does that mean that I can petition major institutions and municipalities in the UK to ban all things Spears related? If only. To me, this is just like a buffet removing all the meat just because the occasional vegetarian comes in. If you don't like the meat, eat the salad.

And just in case that's not enough to show how over the edge the Brits have gone lately, there's this story (h/t LGF) about a poem that's being included in a book being distributed throughout UK public school system.

Just remember while you're reading some of the excerpts that these are the same groups of people that are banning just the images of pigs because it may offend some people.

What are they putting in the drinking water over there?
