Coachella Pig Found!

Filed under: Music Minute

The big ass pig that was released and then lost during Roger Waters' (of classic rock band Pink Floyd) performance at the Coachella Music Festival's been found!

The pig was as tall as a two-story house and as wide as two buses, but was just found in tatters a few miles away from the festival venue.

Poor little swine!

The pig had also displayed the words "Don't be led to the slaughter" and a cartoon of Uncle Sam holding two bloody cleavers on one side. The other side read "Fear builds walls" and the underside read "Obama" with a ticked ballot box for Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Concert organizers had offered a $10,000 reward for its return which will be split between two householders who found piles of pink plastic in their gardens.

Oink oink!

Obama is passing a bill that funds his cousin in Kenya overthrowing the government there. His global tax will not only cost everyone $300 bucks a year to raise the standard of living in other countries while children still die in America everyday of starvation. I guess poor people dont matter when they dont make you look good to the rest of the world. What a fucking idiot.

Roger, you fucking asshole, people come to Coachella to enjoy music not be fed a political message. You stupid, angry liberals never seem to miss the opportunity to share you're politics with people who don't want to hear it. And if you think your little hero, Obama, is going to change anything, you're sadly mistaken, he's incredibly inept and incompetent, all he can do is give a good speech.

What!?!?
They endorsed Obama with a pig? I'm sure his muslim ass just LOVED that. He probably shot it down himself. Muslims loathe pigs. Not that they like any animals for that matter..

I remember seeing that pig at the Roger Waters concert last year!

JennyB says – reply to this

34

Sorry Melly, but Pink Floyd is atrocious. Typical overrought, overblown, self-righteous pomposity. John Lydon had it right when he wore his "I hate Pink Flyd" t-shirt. Also, it's obnoxious that a UK Citizen is telling Americans how to vote, and I'm an Obama supporter.
Fo Realz says – reply to this

35

It's great to have some scumbag from another country try to tell Americans what to think!! Such a hypocritical fool — think for yourself by doing what I tell you instead. Wtf?! Washed up asshole. Can't wait til the next election in Britain so they can get voting advice from members of Earth Wind & Fire or The Doobie Brothers.

And besides spliting the money they will get 4 lifetime passes to Coachella and VIP to Stagecoach. One of the neighbors that found it will be donating the money to local charity to improve music programs for children!!! HOW AWESOME! I woulda gone shopping! lol

This was so funny!!! The pig was letting out all this confetti that read Obama and it sprayed a couple miles out in to neighboring homes and country clubs, all of the homeowners are pissed that no one is paying for the clean up of this mess.

PEREZ I HOPE YOU GET SUED FOR LIBEL says – reply to this

45

Obama's name wasn't on that PIG. More smears and libel coming from Perez who supports HITLERY. Notice, 30 people have died "mysteriously " after being linked to Hillary…Interesting, no?
COACHELLER says – reply to this

46

we totally thought this was part of the show… letting the pig go. the confetti was from a plane not the pig.

i do agree that he's not american and so maybe its none of his business

BUT…. the show was still EPIC!!!!!!!!!

oh and he made some anti-christian comments too…

Re: PEREZ I HOPE YOU GET SUED FOR LIBEL –

It said Obama with a check in a box on the underside of the pig.

Hey Guys
this happened at the perth concert in Western Australia, i was working for a companies in charge of the "ballon pig" and when it was cut free by Roger Waters they had to call in a helicoper to follow/find it.

very amusing

Yea I now hate Pink Floyd…..fuck Obama…play the damn music and stop getting political all you small brained musicians and actors. I don't give a fuck who you vote for, just act and entertain me. Vote NO ONE for '08 because they all suck. Bush for '08.

I think it´s funny that you have to write who Roger Waters actually is. I mean, come on. If people don´t know that, they should not be allowed to use a computer by themselves )))

This also happened in 1995 when Pink Floyd performed at Great Woods in Massachusetts. It was later found a few miles away in a field.
