A misprint creates a strange image. [Ed. note: But why were the pigs floating down the river in the first place? Seems like an exceedingly irresponsible thing for a pig to be doing, regardless of how many of them were there.]

Woah, woah, woah. I'm not sure how I feel about this. We are going to be able to play as the pigs now? How is the game play even going to work, we just sit there and get pummeled by Angry Birds? Not to mention I still haven't forgiven them for stealing the eggs in the first place and then laughing at me when I fail. It's going to take a lot more than a sequel to win me over, you smug piggies.

Imagine if we lived in a world without the internet? You could have gone your entire life without ever experiencing the joy that this picture brings. Tragic.
Sneaky. This cat has disguised herself as a pig for some reason only known to her. I'm largely in favor of it. (Thanks, TurtleFeed!)
Susan Sarandon, now single, spanked a man in a pig outfit at Tuesday night's Of Montreal show. [Ed Note: A few questions: 1) What the fuck? Also, will someone please explain what's going on here (other than that Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon is spanking a man in a pig costume at an Of Montreal show)?] Via The Blemish.
Merlin Mann's collection of 'Scarry Pigs in Peril' feature disturbing moments from children's book author Richard Scarry's oeuvre. As Mann puts it, “…no creature is more intrigued by the exploitation and consumption of his own species than the smiling and good-natured pig.”
