Need to make a quick buck and don’t care about conducting business that’s either illegal or—at the very least—ethically reprehensible? Love the rush you get after screwing over some common sucker with a good con? Here’s an idea: buy a few pot-bellied piglets from a senile farmer who doesn’t ask questions, wrap a…
On Saturday, in Billings, Montana, it hailed, and I lit out for the territory ahead of the rest.
“So, I’ve actually milked goats... I am the celebrity goat-milking champion,” is what this reporter says before being pooped on by a pig.
Just as it’s a good rule of thumb to avoid asking women what they’re reading while they’re, uh, reading, it’s a good idea to avoid asking Natalie Dormer how it feels to look like a fictional pig when she’s, uh, a human.
Miley Cyrus caaaaan't stop, and she woooonnnn't stop, which is something I'm legally obligated to say every time she partakes in something habitual. This time around, the thing she cannot and will not stop doing is adopting pets, as evidenced by the tiny little pig named Bubba Sue she began Instagramming late last…
A tiny inquisitive piglet. A patient, drowsy pit bull. Together? Magic.
I mean, I don’t want to be the one to ruin this moment of, “Aw, adorable pigs swimming in the ocean!” but isn’t anyone else unnerved that there are three pigs and this video could totally be the set-up to a “Three Little Pigs” re-imagining with a shark instead of a wolf? The last thing we need is for sharks to…
Pigs celebrate Mother's Day by rolling around in mud and being hella smart and cute.
This is Zorro. He's a two month old pig who loves to surf. And we love to watch him surf, because finally something is alright in the world. Also, perhaps it's because I'm a Bleedy Female, but I'm crying. Is this weird? Should I be treated for hysteria? Help?
There are no words, there are only mini piglets in wheelchair-like contraptions. Chris P. Bacon is everything.
Here are some adorable Farm Sanctuary rescue pigs eating delicious seasonal fare. Pigs might be my most favorite animal because they're cute, smart, and love to eat pumpkins. Pigs know what's up.
The CDC has been tracking a new strain of pig flu linked to state and county fairs. Concerned epidemiologists say this new strain might share a gene with the 2009 pandemic flu strain, which allows it to pass easily from pigs to humans. Out of 29 recorded human cases in the past year (most of which are children), there…
Dogs and pigs, living together — what's the world coming to if not one giant, adorable menagerie in which all the fuzzy animals love and nuzzle each other and all the bugs leave on a spaceship for a planet where they'll be more appreciated? It also seems about right to echo David Foster Wallace's incredulity at the…
"Look, dude. I, like, don't even know if you're still playing right now."
Donald Trump is in the news again for sparking yet another celebrity feud, this time with Cher. The singer made a comment last week on Twitter about his friend Mitt Romney, saying, "If ROMNEY gets elected I don't know if I can breathe same air as Him & his Right Wing Racist Homophobic Women Hating Tea Bagger Masters."…
Mother Nature has already given us so many things to be terrified of in this world—flesh eating bacteria, tsunamis, Tan Mom, to name just a few. Tapeworms certainly deserve a place on the list too. Who among us did not become obsessed with the idea that we might have one slithering around inside our intestines when we…
Former Presidential Candidate and alleged serial ladygrabber Herman Cain's been on a bit of a media blitz lately. First, he appeared on Fox News to inform viewers that men like Mitt Romney because they're more informed about policy than "other people" (psst: women!). Now, a TV commercial that uses the bizarre…
The first few seconds of this video are sort of like the first half of Jaws, if Jaws were about something adorable (a large manatee named Skipper) that wanted to give hugs to all the bathers in Amity — the anticipation of actually seeing Spunky (the featured piglet) over the rim of the sink his caretaker has placed…
This tolerant bulldog's name is Baby, and she has adopted six orphaned wild boar piglets at an animal sanctuary in Germany. And there are lots of photos! If you like cuteness, it is your lucky day.
The Supreme Court has struck down a California law that would have kept slaughterhouses from killing "sick or wobbly pigs." Before you get too grossed out, their rationale was that the federal government already has rules for dealing with sick pigs: said Justice Elena Kagan, "The federal law establishes rules for…
