Have you seen this pig? There’s a $10,000 reward for its return.
April 29, 2008 (from CNN) Wanted: Roger Waters’ pig (reward offered!) Posted: 08:05 AM ET How do you lose an inflatable pig that’s as big as a two-story house?
The big escape happened Sunday in Indio, Calfiornia, on the last night of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters was performing his song, “Pigs,” to 50,000 people when a giant balloon in the shape of a 50-foot pig rose from behind the stage and floated above the audience. (Fans will be familiar with such displays going back to Pink Floyd’s “Animals” tour in the ’70s.)
Organizers cut the anchor cables free Sunday night and made plans to retrieve the pig when it landed — but as of late Monday, the inflatable animal has not been located. Now, his owners are offering a $10,000 reward for his safe return, plus lifelong tickets to Coachella for four people.
If a 50-foot pig floats by your window, please contact lostpig@coachella.com. The pig can be identified by graffiti on its sides, and the name “Obama” spray-painted on its underbelly.

i was just told by my coworker that the pig took lift off at jones beach 2 years ago and was floating down the beach. i still find it stupid to let it go. could u imagine your just some random person...like in your kitchen and you see a giant pig float by? lols.
This is hilarious....why would they cut it though? Why not just let it float, you want to get it back..........oh well, hope someone finds it so they can get all that free stuff.....wouldn't it be nice if it floated all the way down here to Baton Rouge so I could be 10K richer??

I was at his first US show on the DSOTM Tour, 9/6/06 at PNC Bank in NJ (on his birthday )
... it happened there too when the handlers were walking through the crowd... and afterwards, he blamed the crowd as if they caused it...
"What did you people do with my EFF'ing pig? "
He sounded PISSED OFF... but I guess it's just part of his regular show. I will say that it DID look really cool disappearing right into the Full Moon that night...
but I liked it better as an accident than as a plan.
Fucking geniuses...thats what you get for cutting it loose!!! I can just see how this transpired, "Hey what would happen if I cut the wires..puff puff" Long discussion ensues "well cut the wires then!" long pause...puff puff...gaze up as it floats off. "Damn, who is gonna tell Roger."
As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!

The pig, which has been a signature Pink Floyd stage prop since its appearance on the 1977 cover of "Animals" featuring the song "Pigs on the Wing," broke away from its tethers on Sunday night at Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival.
The festival organizers offered a $10,000 reward for the two-story inflatable pig belonging to ex-Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters.
Two couples said on Wednesday they had found the shredded plastic remains of the pig outside their homes.
The pig, bearing political slogans and the word "Obama" next to a ticked ballot box for U.S. Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama, was used by Waters during his set at the festival in the desert east of Los Angeles.
Steve Stoltz found a big pile of shredded plastic in his La Quinta, California, driveway early on Monday morning when he went to get his newspaper.
"We didn't even know what it was then, but that's all I hear about now," his wife Susan Stoltz told Reuters. Her neighbor, Judy Rimmer, found an even bigger pile in her driveway. Since then the neighbors have shared several pork jokes, she said.
"My sons who are in their 20s will think I'm pretty cool," said Susan Stoltz.
At first the couples thought they were victims of a practical joke. But after reading mass media coverage of the missing pig they contacted festival organizers who authenticated the remains.
"They were really anxious to have the pig's remains, but we kept souvenirs," Susan Stoltz said.
Stoltz said the two couples will split the $10,000 reward offered by the festival organizers and will each get four festival tickets for life.

I still keep wondering what the heck the cause of shredding was??? Airplane engine? Then what happened to the plane? Wandering hungry terradactyl? I mean, wouldn't it just drift and then... land? Or Pop and then... land? Cali has wolves, doesn't it? Did it land on a pack of pissed off Wolves? Did it land in a tree shredder? Did it land on a pack of Bush supporters???
;D
. that was a tarded move.
