Gary and I were watching the Boost Mobile commercial with the pigs eating ham. Here is a still:
Gary said, shocked, “What is that all over the pig?”
“Uh, dirt? Pigs are dirty.”
“That makes no sense.”
I was expecting to hear “Pigs are actually very clean animals,” but he said, “They would have cleaned up. They’re eating with silverware in a nice restaurant.”
And strangely, the more I look at the pig the more I agree with him.

There’s a reason some of us don’t eat piggy!
Pigs actually are very clean animals. If I was a pig, I’d be contacting my lawyer by now.
Oh, and #0.75 – pig is delicious. That’s the real reason we’re not supposed to eat it, forget all the trichinosis lore you’ve heard.
The thing about pigs is, that they’re always bigger than you think when you meet them in person. I always fall into thinking that they’re about the same size as my labrador, and am regularly astonished to find, each time I come across a real one, that they’re MUCH BIGGER, about three times what you expect. It’s always a bit startling, what with the teeth and all.
Pfffft! Fucking pigs.
This commercial is just…so weird.(But then, so am I? I don’t eat ham because I don’t like the way it looks. That platter of ham in front of the pig? Bleeeeeeeeech.)
We discuss this ad daily at my house. My 18 year old (vegetarian) daughter says, “I’m sposed to buy this whatever because that pig who is a cannibal tells me to?”
I haven’t seen the commercial, and hope I never do. The idea of a hog eating ham disturbs me greatly (although in actuallity, they’ll eat anything).
I love ham, but I’m not a pig.
Mmmm. Pig. The cannibalism is a bit disturbing, though.We’ve had a half a pig’s meat in the freezer for months and I swear, no matter how many pork products we eat, it just stays full. Does pig continue to grow after the slaughter?
UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!
P.S. I am studying. I’m taking a sanity break.
OFF TOPIC: Remember my post about the cave house being sold on eBay? ( http://thesilkentouch.blogspot.com/2009/02/2286-cave-house.html ) If you go to that post and then click on the link to the eBay listing, you’ll find the owner’s announcement that the cave has been saved, and they’re having a party to celebrate. The listing contains a link to party details.I wish I were closer. I’d go!Thought I’d alert youse guys out there in the St. Louis area.
.75 – Well, all meat is a little gross, not just the offal-eaters. It occurs to me, vegetarians say “I’ll never eat anything with a face,” why not “I’ll never eat anything with a rectum.” It makes more sense.Tami – I hear lobster is good too.Big Dot – I think we’ve been introduced to pigs by the fetal pigs in school. That’s what’s confusing. ajooja – Whats your problem with pigs?Erin G – Well, now that you made me stare at it, yeah. I bought a picnic shoulder of pig once; I think it was unsmoked ham. Couldnt cook it at all.Gaoo – It is almost impossible to remember this is a mobile phone commercial. I cant remember what the segue was.~~Silk – It’s actually got one good feature: they put a lot of work into the pig gestures. The trotters are very realistic.Caroline – And you dont know what I should do with my pig jowl?3 -Sanity break not working. Taking a psychotic break?~~Silk – I would go, but … it sounds iffy in the second sentence on the site.
3-Thank you!Tami – I do like sausage but bacon? Crispy fat? That’s just gross.Queen – Trichnosis…offal? Come on guys, I don’t have time to whip out the dictionary every two seconds.
Ah, you don’t like the concept of crispy fat. No problem, these pork rinds will all stay quite nicely here with me, then.
I may be the worst Jew ever, in case you’re keeping track.
The second sentence is definitely a deal breaker.#0.75 – That just means more bacon for me! I swear I could devour a pound of it right now and go back for more.
.75 – Actually, if pressed I couldn’t tell you what it means.Tami – I likepork rinds in concept until I’ve had 2. And I thought you were talking to me, then I realized you were talking to .75. Carry-on.Caroline – You aren’t Jewish. No one cares. Dont interrupt the Jew-off.
