Fifty thousand copies of a prison newspaper were pulled after “diversity chiefs” became “extremely concerned” over a cartoon sketch of a sneezing, bearded pig wearing a turban was found accompanying an article by an inmate who “suggested that swine flu was the result of a failed plot by Osama Bin Laden to â??eradicate every pig in Christendomâ??.”
Officials worried that it might offend Muslim prisoners.

The banned pig cartoon looks like it is drawn in the style of MAD Magazine cartoonist/Rankin Bass animator Paul Coker, Jr.!
Imagine pigs in cartoons. Tasteless.
