Kudos to Oxford University Press for making utter knobheads of themselves.
For why?
OUP has decreed that its writers must not mention pigs, sausages or pork-related words in children's books, lest Jews and Muslims be offended.
Suffice to say this has brought down a torrent of well deserved ridicule upon OUP.
A spokesman for OUP is unrepentant, and is quoted by the Telegraph:
"OUP's commitment to its mission of academic and educational excellence is absolute.Feel free to list as many pork related words as you can think of, I can then submit a draft "Porkasaurus" to the OUP for publication.
Our materials are sold in nearly 200 countries, and as such, and without compromising our commitment in any way, we encourage some authors of educational materials respectfully to consider cultural differences and sensitivities."
