If I was an Obama supporter I'd be very worried...

Short video of what became of the Obama Pig.

And yet ANOTHER bad omen for Obama in a somewhat related news story:

Obama flyers dropped on Coachella neighbours during Roger Waters' set

Thousands of papers bearing a checkmark next to the name of US presidential candidate Barack Obama were dropped on neighbourhoods surrounding the Coachella Festival during Roger Waters' Sunday-night set (April 27).

As a result, Coachella promoter Goldenvoice has had to send staff to help clean up the papers covering the Indio, California neighbourhoods after police received calls from area residents complaining about the mess.

An Indio police spokesperson said that the material was distributed without permission from the city or Goldenvoice, and that the concert promoters have been very cooperative in lending a hand to clean up the area.

Coachella spokespeople could not yet confirm whether the Waters camp was responsible for the messages, however it seems very likely as the former Pink Floyd man flew a giant inflatable pig during his set with the same Obama message painted on its underside.

Bad Omen for Obama

Did someone say Hillary will win the nomination, when pigs fly?

Cool.
Apparently, the finders of the shredded plastic remains of the porcine dirigible will share the $10,000 reward.

Pigacide ?

There should be some big fines to pay. That thing would have been a HUGE hazard to aircraft. The dropping of flyers was littering, and the whole thing could be an illegal In-kind contribution to the Obama campaign. If Waters paid for it, it is also an illegal contribution by a foreign national.

How come the Mohammadans haven’t called for the beheading of Pink Floyd for putting their political messiah’s name on a blow-up piggie ?

[R W Reactionairy]

Ding ding ding. We apparently have the best ever response to the retort: “when pigs fly.”

Something like: “Oh yes, the Obama fund raiser.”

What, no fatwa against Roger Waters for painting an Islamic name on a pig?

All I can say is...

DSOTM

Let me rephrase:

Allah is the God of the moon, as far as I understand it.

I thought this was going to be a story about the Hildabeast in her pink pants suit on O’Reilly last night.

Re: Pigacide ?

No, Hillary sent her flying monkeys after it!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Heh. I’m embarrassed to say I can do that “noise” like a pro. I scared the crap out of a converted friend of my ex’s when I jumped into the room she was in making that “lalalalalalalalala.” Priceless stuff.
