Wow. Thursday night I made a commitment to focus hard on the blog based on comments and emails. So Friday morning I started taking a deep look at the crazy shit mankind is up to. Well it is 24 hours later and the mountain of weird shit that is now on my desk is fucking astounding. For example, just the weird shit people have done with pigs recently makes me wonder if my definition of weird isn’t a little conservative - and I NEVER thought I would think of myself as conservative. I am not making this shit up. So, here we go -

When Pigs Fly

Activists of a Russian nationalist youth movement have staged a protest action in front of Georgia’s embassy in Moscow. Protesters hurled a pig’s head at the embassy building, breaking the glass window.

Yesterday in Israel, a guy was sentenced to nine months in jail for wrapping a pig’s head in an Arab headdress and throwing it into a mosque. When asked why he did it, he said he hated Arabs - apparently not as much as he hates pigs. The cops apparently found a second pig’s head in his freezer, and he and his girlfriend copped to plans to throw it too. They were arrested in a whore house in Tel Aviv. Kinky shit.

The Columbia County, GA Annual Fair features a pig-throwing contest.

Under relaxed FAA rules for “service animals”, a woman with a heart condition boarded a U.S. Airways flight with a one hundred pound pig. She had a doctor’s note saying that the pig had a calming effect on her.

The last story, is from West Point, Mississippi, a town victimized by a serial pigger. Kevin Pugh, 20, of Stupid, MS - and nominee for Amp’s December WTF award, first snuck into a Hardee’s restaurant and placed a small pig inside at 4 o’clock in the morning….because? He returned weeks later, placing an Opossum inside at around 2 a.m. He then snuck up and threw another Opossum over the counter of a Holiday Inn Express. For a Grand Finale, last Sunday he snuck back to the Holiday Inn and threw a live 60-pound pig over the counter.He then surrendered to police - “Nearly every officer in the Department was involved in this case” Lt. Haskill of the West Point police department was quoted as saying. Barney? Aunt Bee? Can you help? Three of the four animals were recovered. The last pig was seen running down U.S. 45 Alternate toward Starkville, where the Arkansas Razorbacks were scheduled to play the Mississippi Bulldogs.
