Today marks the start of the new lunar year. In Chinese Astrology, this new year is the Year of the Fire Pig. China, Taiwan, Hongkong, Singapore, and all Chinatowns worldwide welcome the new year with loud firecrackers and dragon dances.

Our favorite butt of jokes PETA has manage to make use of the pig to further their cause. To open the year, the PETA pig makes frontpages by rallying people from eating pork and encouraging them to go vegan.

I suppose it might work. I don't know about you, but if all pigs look like that, I'd probably shift to beef.

Next Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. For Roman Catholics, this marks the beginning of the season of Lent. The PETA Pig is again the star for this season. They used the pig as part of this so-called faith-based billboard.

If you ask me, I think this is just plain ridiculous.

Happy New Year to all of you Chicken Mafiosos!

Huh?

The pig died for our sins?? Really? I thought that was jesus. Or is he a pig? Haha

I love that billboard, heh

It can be considered offensive to all major monotheistic religions. Christians will be offended by the allusion to Jesus; Muslims and Jews will be offended by the mere presence of a filthy pig.

Good job, PETA!

You're right

I thought the jews and muslim were going to rejoice because jesus is a pig but then again they can't stand the image of a pig...
The pig looks like the one from Babe. (is that the title?)

Most pigs look like Babe

And most pigs taste yummy. Sorry PETA.

Pigs are anatomically similar to humans. Also, I've heard that human flesh tastes like pork, heh.

Everything tastes like chicken!

It's the law of the Nature!

I thought so too,

but my cannibal friend insists that fried human flesh tastes more like bacon. He wants to have a private discussion with you about this matter.

No,

Pork don't taste like chicken. At least they don't in soup. Ducks don't too. Seafood don't taste like chicken. Well that's about all i have tasted before so the examples end here.

I heard dogs taste like chicken though. Or maybe it's because the person who ate it didn't know it was dog meat so she assumed it was chicken. It's all in the head.

Vegetables don't taste like chicken

because chicken is yummy and veggies are yucky. And I'm 6 years old.

If pork doesn't taste like chicken...

Then you had too little booze! It's also the law of nature. One of its co-laws is "There are no ugly women, there's only too little booze".

No ugly women?

How about Joan Rivers? You'll probably die from alcohol poisoning before she starts to look good.

You have a point there

But that's just because of the limits of my liver, not because the law is wrong!

But Joan Rivers has a child, right?

So that means someone had a very efficient liver... or very poor eyesight.

Sure takes the heat off

Colonel Sanders... I wonder if any of us Christians would put a fatua on top of PETA's head hehe

joyfulchicken's picture

You Christians are so sensitive

So what if Jesus is a pig? Pigs are clean and highly intelligent. At least that's what PETA says.
