    Two Couples Find Pink Floyd Pig

    Wed, 30 Apr 2008 16:59:20

    It's destroyed, sadly


    Two SoCal couples have found the missing inflatable pig from Roger Waters' closing Coachella set. As a result, they'll now split a $10,000 reward. The two-stories-high/two-school-buses-wide monstrosity was discovered in pieces on Monday after last being seen during a rousing version of the Pink Floyd classic "Pigs."

    "That's definitely our pig," show producer Bill Fold said after examining the remains.

    "It wasn't really supposed to happen that way," explained Coachella publicist Marcee Rondan. "I don't have the details." We do know this: the pig featured the phrase "don't be led to the slaughter," a cleaver-wielding Uncle Sam cartoon, and a clear endorsement of Barack Obama.
