Peak Stupidity: OUP Bans Use of Words 'Pig' And 'Sausage' To Avoid Offending Muslims And Jews
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
There appears to be a direct correlation between terror attacks and stupidity in the Western world. The more attacks, the more idiotic the response. Just when you thought the bar couldn’t move any lower, it has. From the International Business Times:
One of the biggest education publishers in the world has warned its authors not to mention pigs or sausages in their books to avoid causing offense.
Oxford University Press (OUP) said all books must take into consideration other cultures if they hope to sell copies in countries across the world.
As a result, the academic publisher has issued guidance advising writers to avoid mentioning pigs or “anything else which could be perceived as pork” so as not to offend Muslim or Jewish people.
The move was revealed during a discussion on free speech during BBC Radio 4’s Today programme in the wake of the attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hedbo and its decision to use an image of the Prophet Mohammed on the cover of its latest issue.
Presenter Jim Naughtie said: “I’ve got a letter here that was sent out by OUP to an author doing something for young people.
“Among the things prohibited in the text that was commissioned by OUP was the following: Pigs plus sausages, or anything else which could be perceived as pork.

Sausage is just the meat form of MBS and CDO's....
"Oxford University Press (OUP) said all books must take into consideration other cultures if they hope to sell copies in countries across the world."
Oh, yeah?
What about MY culture???!!!
HAM! BACON! PORK CHOP!
OUT, YOU MUST HOP!!!
Take that, ya fascists...
I love roasting a suckling pig stuffed with onions and figs.
So Orwell couldn't have gotten Animal Farm published today.
How Orwellian.
Jews are offended by pork and sausage???
Clearly these idiots don't know many actual Jews.
never met a moar hypocritical people than the jewish people.......
oxford university press? will someone kindly carbon date that fossil?
The Brits have been taken over by the Muzzies.

Oink! Oink! Bitchez!
Wait... what if it's a beef sausage?
If those assholes can't appreciated a roasted pig (a la hedgeless's picture above), they probably want to outlaw orgasms too. Pleasure and love are threats to the state! That's why you can't have pot or any other drug, unless you become dependent on the pharmaceutical industry. They're working on the sex part - lots of young adult men just play video games and jerk off, if they even do that.
Wait just one second HH; That "dinner" bears an uncanny semblence to my lost pooch, Lassie....
So here we go again, Oxford University Press in the true spirit of freedom of the press, speech and "higher learning" is getting into the censorship business (as if they weren't already).
Whats next, is one of the pillars of "higher learning", equality & tolerance for all (Duke University) gonna ban Chick Fillet from its campus because the CEO dared voice HIS opinion?
Oh...wait, they did ;-)
At least Duke did have second thoughts about broadcasting the Muslim prayer from the Chapel Tower:
"CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Duke University canceled Thursday a plan to use the tower of its chapel for a weekly, amplified Muslim call to prayer.
In a press release, the university said it reconsidered the plan announced the previous day and Muslims instead will gather on the quadrangle before heading into a basement room in the chapel for their usual, weekly prayer service."
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/01/15/duke-muslim-prayers/21821535/
Its some sorta weird PC learning curve they're going through...or sumpin.
I spend a year at Duke awhile back and spoke with some old friends there. 'Furious" would be an understatment they would even consider this. I wonder how the Riyadh or Islamabad folks would feel if we requested some Sunday Church chimes to be played from Abdul's Tower?
lol...its not only that, its the awkwardness of the PC "intellectual crowd" in tryig to promote one religion, while prohibiting/banning the voluntary association of students (or business transactions) with another.
An alien dropping down from space would think the cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo actually own Chick Filet...lol...at the same time, the religion they now seek to appease, consider "gays & lesbians" (who "enforced" and screamed bloody murder in order for the school to ban Chick Filet from the Duke campus) something less than themselves.
Its really fascinating watching these best & brightest teachers of our youth tying themselves in knots over this.
A "classic education" into how the elitist progressive mind works (or doesn't in this case) with lifes intrusions into their bubble reality.
Its really good stuff, viewed through the correct prism ;-)
Well at least it's still OK to cut to tip of a male baby's dick for no reason, nothing offensive about that.

7/10 Brits are as THICK as Pig Shit. Don't you see who is PM of this country? Say no fucking more.
your ratio probably applies to those who feel some sense of pride at having a monarchy - though they often refuse to admit it deep down they still adhere to that ruled class thinking; personally anybody that claims to be king had better have curly fries and Whoppers on the menu.......
Time to ban "Ox" as well.

i just ate 5 sausages today, pork sausages.
i'm as jewish as they get. ashkenaz secular new yorker.
saying a jew is not jewish because he eats non-kosher food is like saying a catholic isn't catholic because he doesn't believe in the trinity, that jesus is god , or the son of god.
no, he's still catholic in my book if he was raised catholic and affiliates in any way with the catholic community.
yea. and for those of you who want to hate on jews on zh, go ahead. we've been dealing with you anti-semites for a long long time. that's the price we pay for being jewish......
then again, plenty of you anti-semites even have jewish blood in you. should you find this out one day, your heads will explode like dave chappelles skit where a bunch of white folks see a black blind klu klux klan member who thinks he's white skinned take off his mask. probably the funniest racial skit i've ever seen.
bring it anti-semites. bring it. tell me how jews control the world and control everything. and how you hate jews and blablaba zionists blablabl x y z.
i'll stuff some piggy in your pie hole.
I'm an equal opportunity religion hater.
They are ALL bullshit 'divide and conquer' techniques.
Here's a question, though.
Why isn't Catholicism a race, or Pastafarianism?
But then race is just another 'divide and conquer' technique.
I belong to a race....
The human race.
I stay clear of the rat race, because, even if I were to win it, I'd still be a rat.
Norman Gary Finkelstein might not agree with you: Finkelstein argues that the spectre of a "new anti-semitism" has been invented by supporters of Israel to brand any serious criticisms of Israel's human rights abuses as anti-semitism. The aim, Finkelstein contends, is to silence criticisms of Israel policies and to provide a cover for that country's expansionistic and illegal policies in the Palestinian territories.
So maybe we're not so stupid or "rasist" as you wanna believe. Anyway, if someone offends you personally, you can always lawyer "yourself" up.

Berry,
since when are Catholics a people? Or if the two religions are equally in that regard, are Jews not a people? If Jews are not a people, why do Jews themselfes claim they were a people? And if it's "only a religion like Catholicism" why does AIPAC insist on the Jewish nation state of Israel? And why does the Halacha make being a jew dependent on the descent from a jewish mother?
You need to learn to stop talking so much not on Ziomedia, because when you confuse the Goyim here they could raise questions. Therefore you either need to learn the hasbara trolling or to shut up and rely on the one way "communication" in the Zio-media, where no such questions can disturb the matrix.
My colleagues from our company's center in Israel came over here last March and the first thing they asked was to be taken to a BBQ joint for baby back ribs. I kid you not. The next night? Shrimp and Lobster.
Half are NOT kosher but they have a kosher political correctness over there that will get you socially ostracized if you violate it.
Muslims are only offended if you call THEM a pig.
I suspect they're just pissed-off that their religion won't let them eat all the best foods:
Crispy, smoked bacon; cooked 'till it's still slightly 'wiggly.'
Succulent, honey-baked ham slices with brown sugar/clove glazing.
Grilled pork medallions with spicy, Texas-style barbecue sauce.
Fried pork chops with fresh apple sauce on the side.
Not to mention the shellfish:
Piggyback shrimp: Jumbo shrimp marinated in a hot, sweet chilli sauce, wrapped with a bacon slice and broiled to perfection.
Okay,... now I've done it,... I'm hungry. Think I'll go out for some PORK & SHELLFISH tonight...
[Judaism & Islam: Sorry, but from a dietary point of view; it sucks to be you...]
clam chowder
shrimp gumbo
bacon swiss steak burger
pork rinds
Mmmmm... Pork rinds...
I guess enviro-vegans are really screwed, no beef, pork, dairy products etc...nothing but seaweed & grass. No wonder they're so surly, they probably fret about killing & eating anything organic too ;-)
Hmm, inorganic food -- the planet seems to be covered in it!
nmewn, no to the seaweed as well, thanks to fuku, although instead of saying fuku they say it's the mercury...so no seafood.
You guys just don't know how tasty pickled krill is ....
/sarc/
You forgot ribs of all types and preparations. And just to honor OUP, let's wrap them ribs in bacon.
"White Castle" and "Cracker Barrel" are racist against whites under these parameters...and as for "Joo in the Box" fuggetaboutit!
Hey man ain't no shame in being a Crakka actually the only shame is we don't play whack fuck with the heads of any pius mothafukka that stands at a podium and tells us not to be racists whereas they be the most racist assholes out there normally and only exist because of the hate they foster.....

Brilliant!
There was a guy up the road from where I live in FEMA region X who used throw a huge party every summer, pretty much for anyone who wanted to come. It was BYOB, but he provided the eats. Each time, he would roast a huge whole pig, outdoors over a fire pit, and it would come out damn tasty. Good times.
Yep. Say what you like, but those Region X guys know how to roast a pig.
So is this pre- or post-enema?
Post fast, definitely.
An epicurean and physician friend of mine that is a serious wine enthusiast has been fasting every Thursday, and feasting nearly every weekend for decades. He says it helps prepare his pallet, and he is very healthy.
Never figured you for an apple fanboy ;)

Arnold? WTF?
I thought you might recognize the Texas State inspection tattoo on his fat little neck.
Nope.
Putz!
A que ponto chegamos!
Hoje no almoço minha mulher fritou suculentas bistecas de porco.
Mostarda Heinz sempre coloco por cima de cada pedaço cortado com faca no meu prato.
O restante do prato era arroz, feijão preto com pedaços de couro de porco e linguiça (quase uma Feijoada brasileira), uma farofa de ovo (frita o ovo e coloca farinha de mandioca) e uma salada de mato (não sei que verdura era) refogado com azeite.
Não sei se vocês tem conhecimento mas, 90% dos brasileiros (senão mais) só se alimentam em casa.
Raramente você encontra gente que come produtos industrializados diariamente.
Vá numa Churrascaria no Brasil, há carnes de porco sendo assadas junto com carne de frango e de vaca em diversos níveis, a gordura de uma pinga na de baixo.
A maioria dos judeus e muçulmanos que moram aqui não se incomodam com isso de jeito nenhum!
Outra coisa, os apresentadores de TV não chamam preto de negro porque preto é cor e negro é raça mas, no dia-a-dia, a maioria do pessoal chama negro de "negão", eu sou branco, me chamam de polaco e não me incomodo.
Tenho amigos gays mas, com esses caras, a gente não mexe e eles não mexem com a gente, é uma coisa velada, cada um sabe o seu lugar na sociedade. Cada um faz das pregas o que gosta.
Esse negócio de "politicamente correto" é que incomoda.
Muito!
:-)
Quick, ban "STUPID" and "ASSHOLES" before I say
STUPID ASSHOLES!
Uai!
Você Não entende português-Br?
Desculpe, Você Não esta no Primeiro Mundo assimétrico Onde o Politicamente Correto E Socialmente incorreto.
Atenciosamente.
BRICS.
hehe.
Uai!
You do not understand Portuguese-Br?
Sorry, you are not in the First World asymmetrical where the Politically Correct is socially incorrect.
Kind Regards.
BRICS.
hehe.
their was this pig i threw the sausage to many years ago....she didnt seem offended..
MMMmmmmmmmmmmm PIG SAUSAGE HAM BACON...
So I guess all mentions of the U.S. Congress are out too, huh?
Pigs suck! I oughta know.
We run a few pigs on our farm. Our current Boar is named Mohammed - just sort of seemed appropriate - he's a great porker.
... swine flu ... over the cuckoo's nest ...
If God didn't want man to eat pigs, he wouldn't have made them out of bacon.
Bacon yum !
Amen brah, nothing tastier than a naturally raised Berkshire piggy, that there is some damn good eating as far as pork is concerned.
That quote belongs on a T-Shirt...or a tatoo.
What the fuck else would you do with a pig? Sheer it?
Put oil on it and try and catch it!!
Pigs will eat anything...including you.
Put a suit on it and run it for congress..
Anything cooked in bacon fat tastes great. I always fry my steaks in bacon fat and they are the best steaks you can eat.
On another note, i was taken to Emergency a month ago for a heart condition but.... bacon is to die for!
It's definitely worth it...
On the way home from his quad bypass my dad made be stop at a barbeque.
If God
are humans smarter yeast
Sorry. I don't understand.
Are you asking if god exists, does that make humans smarter than yeast?
Lost my train of toughts but, aha
"If God didn't want man to eat pigs, he wouldn't have made them out of bacon."
so
"If God
are humans smarter yeast"
Not asking and not implying
but are we truely smarter than yeast
So far so good, but....
"Are you asking if god exists, does that make humans smarter than yeast?"
No not asking for god existence.
Q for you, are humans smarter than yeast, i was thingking of Dr Bartlett (http://youtu.be/O133ppiVnWY) and agent smith came to mind (www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nxqDHHORqg)
# i think i fuck't this up,
Bacon = nature's candy
So "Charlotte's Web" and "Animal Farm" would not be published by OUP? Absolutely pathetic dhimmis.
Napoleon will simply be portrayed as a banker from now on.
Penstripe,,,,, no hat.
bummer
Cept his hand will be in your back pocket and not under his lapel
Since when is there a prohibition against REFERRING to pigs? They are supposed to be nameless now? WTF?
Don't be silly!
They are now to be referred to only as Porcine-Americans.
They'll think you're talking about people of WalMart...
International edition of "Christian Culture 101":
In the West, people eat ____, which comes from a ____.
Time for the Great Mid-East Tasty Animal-Who-Cannot-Be-Mentioned Drive! Kickoff BBQ in Haifa, with all-you-can-eat stops in Jerusalem, Damascus, Amman, Baghdad, Basra, Kuwait City, Mecca, Medina and a final Grand Bar-B-Que in Riyadh! You won't need no fork becauz the tender morsels will be falling off the bone. So delicious you'll be licking it up and begging for moar! The Mid-East solution that hasn't been tried!
It's time for a very strongly worded email to Oxford.One with many reference to the swine family, among them most academia that works there.
Boycott
They'll probably just get pig-headed over it.

That there is a whole lot of ham and bacon on the hoof!
How about "beef sausage"?
It's probably OK, but you have to specify that the casing is not pork.
Same with turkey sausage links - casing is often pork - in tiny tiny letters.
So it is also going to be illegal for Jews and Muslims to say "fish" on Lenten Fridays?
Only shellfish and catfish are on the infidel food list.
I'm so confused now. We are now going to pretend that certain animals do not exist? How is it that the dodo is still allowed to be spoken of?
It was kosher?
In the immortal advertising words of Hebrew National, "We Hold Ourselves to a Higher Standard."
So, short pork pie hats and HAM radio then?
More theater of the absurd.
Moar ammo.
Probably a bad idea to name a gay bar "The Sausage Factory," too.
Or "Pump 'n' Dump"
...or The Weenie Roast.
Thank God it's Thursday...
And now you can't even get Carnitas at Chipotle either -- because the PC crowd complained that pigs were not being treated humanely!
Yep, and the logical response for anyone with half a brain would be to email or call headquarters, or better yet your local eatery, and tell them you will no longer eat at any of thier chains.
Nothing changes with these places unless it hurts them where it hurts the most.
anyone with more than half a brain should not be advocating a boycott in support of abusive factory pig farms.
Ever see an industrial feedlot? Supporting institutionalized abuse at "Auschwitz Farms" should be discouraged. Of course the fact that Chipotle can't find a suitable alternative not based upon torture should tell us something.
Support your local farmers.
NoWayJose
Pigs are badly abused in the factory farms.
IF Chipotle made their decision for the reason you allege,
Chipotle apparently made a sound business decision to keep the customers who care about inhumane treatment of animals,
regardless how offended are the (literally and figuratively) small group of customers who don't care whether animals are mistreated.
Cunts.
I'm offended by them being offended.... Moar offensiveness..ness
why don't we just beat all our wives not to offend muslims too
pigs or sausages
pigs or sausages

God, that feels good...
BOTH!
That feels better...
Hitler was right. Unfortunatelly he killed the wrong Jews.
Then nobody can mention Hillary Clinton. She is synonymous with "pig".
Nobody can mention her (c)ankles either then.

I like my pulled pork sandwiches to have the image of Muhammad burned onto the top bun.
Take that Oxford!!!
I think you just gave me and my buddy Bubba an idea for the name and mascot/trademark of our new Bar-B-Q joint. Thanks!
Say, is it *true* that Mohummed and Moses BOTH were somewhat ,,,uhh,,,,'pigfuckers' back in their day? I figure if you just get the temp up over 165 deg everything will be forgiven. Maybe they should seek Therapy, is what I think. I sure hope my rant doesn't screw up someone's Hero Worship. Have a rib,,,on the house. Come on by...

So mentioning Congress is banned?
You are right SpanishInquisition - unforseen consequences are sometimes positive.
"...If they hope to sell copies. .." Yes, that's right. It has nothing to do with actual sympathy or human kindness. It's about money. It's always about money, and these pigs will do anything, regardless of how stupid or perverted, to make MONEY.
Haida Salameh is the appropriate reference here.
Well there goes my "Animal Farm" book by George Orwell. Dang.
lets shit in our pants and run around the desert not to offend the muslims
Wipe with your left hand, eat allowed things (like camels) with the right hand.
Mohammedians just need to GTFO. Their political cradle to grave system of oppression is totally incompatible with 21st century governance. All mohammedians out of Western Civ.
What're ya in fer, kid?
What a crock of pig shit. I see Muslims shopping in my local wet market and they don't seem to care that there are pork butchers on the same floor.
Agreed. Unless a Muslim lives where there is a significant enough Muslim population to support a halal grocery, they shop where everyone else shops.
Porkness isn't contagious people.
This reeks of something deeper.
I pay tribute to the Muslims that I know who eat ham and have the occasional drink of beer and wine.
Islam needs a re-write before it is written off.
Consciously maintaining a diet that is in harmony with your religious beliefs can be difficult in and of itself, but that is not what ails Islam.
Time for a picture of MuHAMmed eating some sausage. Or isn't that kind of offense allowed on ZH?
Oh...
I thought this was going to be about not offending cops.
Once there were three little pink things and a big bad wolf ........
The story of the three little pigs will remain but for distribution purposes in Muslim countries, the ending will be different.
RIP

Conchita Wurst (Sausage in German) is permanently banned?
Fk muslims already. Jesus Christ on a popsicle stick, this is fn absurd.
It's like some retard decided that everyone should not wear hats and so the whole world is cowering to them and not going to wear hats because of their caveman beliefs. Fk them. Fk their pig/pork/dork phobias.
Islam needs to be declared a terrorist--not a religious--organization, and it needs to be eliminated from the entire planet. Period. Until we do that, no peace. Let's stop being fn retarded.
You're fn dumb.
edit: And so is everyone who fn upvoted you. Go fn study the way the world really fn works rather than making stupid fn comments about something you clearly know nothing about.
Here Here! Pig hats for one and all!
I have now banned my wife from saying, "you eat like a pig."
Little ones everywhere will be devastated if there is no more Peppa Pig.
What, no more piggy backs? What's the new expression?
No more pig iron.
Are Jews and Muslims allowed to shop at the Piggly Wiggly anymore? Oink!
Maybe we can send them to the Food Zion, I mean Food Lion.
So in the 90s, and especially post 9/11, we, in the Zionist west, have been trained to be weary, or even fear Muslims--see them as the enemy.
Now over the same time frame, the violence-puppets of the "Inner Party" have increased the number of Muslim immigrants being allowed, or even brought, into our societies, causing predictable clashes and divisions. And in the last few years the violence-puppets have been directed to then use the hate, the very hate they instilled in the people, to squash our freedom of speech rights--kill more of our freedom.
Of course, while we are paying attention to the Muslims at stage left, they, the "Inner Party," are robbing us blind and yoking us to their debt, and making us their draft animals on their fiat farm.
That folks IS Zionism at work. You can't see it, but it makes itself felt if you are paying attention.
The banksters need to repay us.
The chief axiom of Zionism: "Always, about money, power, and division."
The counter to the axiom: "Don't let them take it. Don't let them have it. Don't believe it."
