Pigs, Stars Wars, and Chinese Muslims

Here is a present to our friends in Xiajang province, who the Chinese government seems to fear so much that they have banned pigs from TV. Youtube is TV, right? Besides, it's the perfect video: pigs and Star Wars.

Fox:

Companies looking to reach China's consumer market with pig images during Year of the Pig celebrations next month will have to adjust after a national television network adopted a policy to be sensitive to the country's small Muslim population, according to published reports.
China Central Television said it would ban all verbal and visual pork references from advertisements during Lunar New Year celebrations next month, the Wall Street Journal reported. This week, the network banned a TV ad from Nestle SA featuring a smiling cartoon pig and the message, "Happy new pig year."

UPDATE: Allah has related snarky thoughts.

1 It's one thing not to eat pig-- like the Jews-- and quite another to believe pigs are evil-- like the islamopethecines do. No matter that God made pigs and that they serve a purpose in his Creation.

2 So I guess no muslims will be born during the year of the pig, right.

8 I mistrust anyone who doesn't like pork chops. No sausage, bacon or ham for breakfast? Yuk!
