"Come on in to Billy Bob's BBQ," carols the talking hog, "and try our ribs! Wait, what am I saying? Bad idea, have the chicken today," and so on. Chickens and shrimp are also willing to sell their fellows via advertising, but pigs outnumber them ten to one. People would be willing to do this in the same situation ("Come on down to Zombie Tom's BBQ and try my ribs. Or brains. Wait, not mine personally! AAArgh!") which is why pigs seem so human. It worries me philosophically to eat something as smart as a pig, but they'd eat us without a second thought so I guess it evens out. Rudy -
