little piglets are FAR cuter than honkin' hogs.

and they are filthy animals who will eat anything, and pork does not digest well in the human system. I try to avoid pig products for that reason.

(sobs over the smell of frying bacon)

Ok, I'll quit with the Pulp Fiction references now. Sorry, but I love a good chance to quote me some PF.

Disagree!

They're not filthy - they use mud to cool off, protect them from the sun and insects. Pigs can't sweat you know.

Also they don't eat "anything" given the choice, although they will eat what is provided in captivity. Which is why I believe free range pig meat tastes so much better than factory farmed - sausages, bacon, pork all have a stronger, more robust taste when pigs are allowed to forage naturally.

I'm a pig fan.

Ya, I agree with SG here. They are only filthy/mean when they are kept in filthy/overcrowded conditions by humans. Otherwise they are clean, intelligent and social.
I'm reading a book right now that has an interesting chapter on (mostly religious) aversion to pigs. The author thinks a lot of it comes from pigs being so similar to humans.

OMG Christopher Hitchens! If he likes pigs, that actually makes me like them less. :p

The little painters sure are cute, though.

Hitchens is a cool guy...really! Being near DC, if you frequent DC bars enough, you're bound to run into him eventually, and you'll see. He just likes to sell books.

Mmmm, they should get those li'l pigs to paint with butter.

I think a whole lot of it has to do with Trichinosis.
