It is no fun today to be a pig. In Iraq are all pigs slaughtered, in China no Mexican pig can enter the country. And in Afghanistan is now the only the lonely pig of the country put in quarantine.

The global fear of the Mexican flu has now reached the Afghan capital Kabul. The animal was, until recently, on display in the local zoo of the city, but is now trapped in a winter cage. According to the director of the zoo, visitors were in panic when they saw the pig. :)

Best use of a Pulp Fiction quote that I've seen in years.

No swearing in sigs.

At the OP, the only pig in Afghanistan? Do it a favour, slaughter it and feed it to the troops, I'm sure many of them could murder a bacon butty.

I suspect the pig is in quarantine to keep it safe from anyone who might want to harm the pig after blaming them for swine flu.

You wouldn't really expect muslims to be very fond of pigs even under the best of circumstances. :tongue:

Since ever as far as I know.

The forum is PG13 and sig appear in every thread, NSFW notice or not. I think it was brought in as it would prevent the threads being opened past the filters in schools and the forum is used in a lot of educational institutions.

I could be wrong and I'm about as far from a mod as can be.

Er, PG-13 /=/ No swearing. And what does NSFW stand for? Also, there are people who swear more times in a single post than their sig.:tongue:

Not Safe For Work.

As far as I know sigs are held to a higher standard than posts.

How many times have you heard the word fuck in a PG13 movie?

Why are there pigs in Iraq to begin with? I thought swine was on the naughty list for Muslims.

They don't let them have beer, why would they let them have pork chops?

So following that line of thought then every post with "fuck" in it should be deleted. :rolleyes:

FYI: There's nothing about it in the "One Stop Rules Shop".

Afghanistan. The pig is in Afghanistan.

And it's in a zoo. As a curiosity.

From the OP, which you know, it helps to read thoroughly.

A few years ago, the mods actually did this. Those were the times... :)

I don't mind a little swearing, but it seems there's a tourette syndrome epidemic going on...

In Iraq are also living non-Muslims (3% of a population of 28,945,657 people) And I don't know, maybe Muslims may breed them to export or to food the non-Muslims.

Fuck. Is that's what's wrong with me? I've always been fucking curious about why I have to be such a bastard about language.
