A tattoo artist works on a live pig at an organic art center outside Beijing Friday Aug. 19, 2005. Artists at the Art Farm, set up by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye, tattoo anesthetized pigs to create works which are expected to be displayed in galleries once the pigs eventually die. The pigs, which are tattooed with designs ranging from the Louis Vuitton logo to Russian prison tattoos, are expected to live a longer than normal life since their increased value protects them from being killed for food.

Courtney Love, Tatooed Pig, that should have been one post, Dave.
pooke,
I think you're right. They do look similar.
lady mac,
I don't think much of it either. I'm surprised PETArds or the like aren't all over it like Michael Moore on a turkey leg.
