Taking a cue from Bugs Bunny knocking Hitler in the head with a mallet, YouTube user Egor Zhgun created a short animated piece based on the recent revolts in the Arab world.
The short video, entitled 'Three Big Pigs', uses melodies from Walt Disney's The Three Little Pigs and characters from Angry Birds to re-enact the rebellions in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya.
With the public as the birds in the spoof, the pigs are represented by Tunisian ex-president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Egyptian ex-president Hosni Mubarak, and Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi.
After outing the former Tunisian and Egyptian leaders, the birds struggle to defeat Colonel Gaddafi in the third and final level. Victory is only claimed once the cartoon characters call upon 'The Mighty Eagle' who, dressed in US colours, defeats Gaddafi from the sky.

I thought cartoons like this harmed kid's delicate sensibilities.
Not to mention that the U.S. is seen as the "baddest" angry bird of all.

What the....?
Interesting to note this was made in UK, but it seems to have a running text at the bottom in Russian. Also, note the majority of the blue birds arguing with a Mullah bird and saying first lets get rid of these 3, we can settle the rest later.
“Now a pig has a chin, so what do I know?”
Thanks for a great bit.
The Russians are very pissed off at this whole deal. They don’t like the idea of western nations picking on one of their favorite dictators.
Thanks for the ping. Sometimes a cartoon can hold more truths than laughs. Although sometimes one can only laugh at the truth because the system will not allow otherwise. A catch 22?
Portraying Muslim leaders as pigs...ouch.
