State censors (from either Qatar or Saudi Arabia) had deliberately "censored" out each and every picture of Piglet from hundreds of pages in the book with a black marker.
In the Middle East pigs are seen as dirty animals and Muslims are forbidden to eat them but trying to get rid of cute little Piglet is just crazy! Full post with pictures from inside the book here : http://www.qatarliving.com/blog/camper/disneys-pig let-banned-in-middle-east"

Yesterday I got a task to think a couple of days and tell my chief what I've decided. Keep it simple black and white as it is, tell the design department to create some flash animation with Maria Antuanette puke or draw some bees and flowers. People in UK still think we in Lithuania sit in the cave and keep inventing the wheel! As we are to establish office in London and enter new foreign markets, your opinion is really important! What you think? Women, I've been in a great dilemma since then. Two days left to decide. look please at the front page: http://www.gaumina.lt/
