Why was "The Muppet Show" banned in Saudi Arabia?

Because one of the stars of the show is a pig?

You're right, Karrow!

I am starting to doubt this one. I just Googled "muppet + banned + pig" and read through 20 pages of result. Not one was any type of news source, and almost all were user supplied content. Mosty had exactly the same wording ("The Muppet show was banned from TV in Saudi Arabia Because one of its stars was a pig."), usually a sign that the statement has just been copied from another similar source. I did find one source that was a bit different; it said that the banning country was Pakistan. I will look into this further.
