A reward has been offered for a giant inflatable pig which floated into the Californian desert during a concert by ex-Pink Floyd star Roger Waters.

Waters said "that's my pig" as it drifted away during Sunday's gig.

Do you approve of the use of giant inflatable pigs at rock concerts?

That's the sole reason I joined PETGIA (People for the ethical treatment of giant inflatable animals)

Damn 'rock gods' and their cruel practices! This must be outlawed!

That's how nature works. You wouldn't try to stop a giant inflatable lion from hunting giant inflatable gazelle.

Its better that the pig escaped then the 3 story high floating crystal glass giant spiked disco ball they used to use.

Oh dear, this tale does not have a happy ending.

A giant inflatable pig which floated away during a Roger Waters concert at the weekend has been recovered in tatters in California.

YES! and they should have floating hippos too.
Flying pigs are amazing.

I don't approve of Pink Floyd still touring or any of the inflatable animals used in their shows. Give it up, guys. You're just dragging us all down.

They are perfectly entitled to tour. And they are hardly dragging anyone down. you have the choice not to listen to their music, they have the choice to tour.

Its not Pink Floyd, they split up in 1995, its Roger Walters on tour anyway.
The pig is the symbol of Pink Floyd (they tied two up to the Towers in the Battersea part of London for an album cover)

And its not the first time ones floated away.

I whole heartedly agree with inflatable pigs. That's mostly because I'm an Invader ZIM fan, and they have alot of humorous rubber pigs in that show.

I wonder why he felt the need to say "That's my pig" as it floated away. Were there a large number of other people in the area with giant inflatable pigs, and so he felt the need to assert his ownership in order to avoid confusion (Hey, that's my pig! Hands off, rival pig owners.)? Or was it a pride thing (That's my pig up there, look at him go!)?
Or perhaps it was more psychological, less about the pig than about Roger Waters own inner being and his need to assert his fading dominance and manhood against the advances of old age and growing irrelevance? At that moment, what could he do to assert his own power other than label the pig? He couldn't physically claim it, so he verbally claimed it and placed it in the category of "barnyard livestock."

The pigs have weapons of mass destruction, we must act quickly in the interest of national security.

I thoroughly approve, it gives me a link to post the next time someone uses the phrase "if pigs could fly" :D

They still can't. This shows that they can float. Flying is another thing altogether.

Sounds suspiciously like a Simpsons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homerpalooza) episode.
