I spotted this online this-morning and just HAD to share it with you.
A pig that survived 36 days buried in the rubble of May’s massive Sichuan earthquake has been voted China’s favourite animal, but the attention has made him fat, lazy and bad-tempered, state media said.
The pig, trapped in a sty after the 7.9 magnitude quake, was bought by a local businessman who was moved by its ordeal and named “Zhu Jianqiang,” or “Strong Pig.”
It survived by eating charcoal and drinking rainwater.
Now it has been voted top of an online poll of animals “who moved China” this year, the weekend edition of the China Daily said.
People come from all over to see the pig at its new home in a museum, but it was becoming increasingly spoiled and ungrateful.
“It’s gotten fatter and lazier by the day.” “We used to take it out for a walk every morning and afternoon, but it’s too lazy — and too fat — to do it.”
And the pig is getting fed up with visitors, after initially being quite friendly.
“Now it just blocks the door to its bedroom when there are too many visitors outside. It’s been increasingly difficult for us to convince it to open the door,” the report said.
Doesn’t this sound familiar eh? There must be loads of fat pigs out there that block the door to their bedroom when they get grumpy. I can think of a few that I’ve known over time ……. can you think of any???
I dont block my door
If it wont perform eat it i say

Who the hell does this pig think he is? Ungrateful so and so.. It’s a pig, but sounds like your average teenager.. Tell him, there’s people who have been through a lot worse, and do you here them grunting? (Apart from during Intercourse when they’ve worked all day).. Tell the bl oody thing that if it doesn’t change it’s attitude, then Christmas is coming, he could always be used for his meat.. (What the girls say about me).. I’m sure the Homeless would kill for a bit of Bacon this up and coming Christmas Morning..
And this bit.. “It’s gotten fatter and lazier by the day.” “We used to take it out for a walk every morning and afternoon, but it’s too lazy — and too fat — to do it.”
Sounds like your average Birmingham housewife critiscising her Chav husband on The Jeremy Kyle Show..
People come from all over to see this pig.. Jeez.. I have a dog that can walk backwards whilst reciting the lords prayer, and even Viz weren’t interested in that story!!

Viz never was a stylish mag anyway, so it’s no surprise that they and their semi-literate readers wouldn’t recognise a reversing dog if they saw one – whether it recited religious texts or not.
You should have tried Private Eye – they have a far better appreciation of the absurd.
Private Eye.. Is that still in publication? I tried reading that a few years back.. Didn’t like it.. Was forever sending off Cartoon Strips to viz though! Was refused.. :?
Maybe i should have tried the Sport.. Or the Enquirer lol.. Apparantly, (According to the Sport).. A double decker bus had been found on the moon.. Now that’s what i call a story.. Fancy leaving something like that there.. Oh,.. And Elvis isn’t dead.. He lives in Chippenham. They have excellent Investigative Journalists.
If my memory serves me correctly, it was the Sunday Sport that ran the headline (and story) “World War 2 Bomber Found on the Moon” ….. not a London bus.
As you would expect, this story was taken sufficiently seriously by Media geeks around the world that it caused a major storm of denial and factual articles everywhere to PROVE that the story was rubbish. They published incontrovertible evidence that there was absolutely NO bomber of any type on the moon.
The following week the Sunday Sport published another front page article under the headline “World War 2 Bomber Mysteriously Vanishes” claiming that the entire thing was a conspiracy and that the bomber had been deliberately removed and used all the ‘evidence’ published by the Media during the week to prove it.
Fantastic humour ….. but the Media geeks simply didn’t get it.

I prefer to believe that it was in fact a London Bus that had been found.. :lol:
I’m beginning to wonder now if it was a Night Time story that i may have been told as a youngster by my parents!Does this mean that Elvis don’t live in Chippenham after all?
