I hate the Onion! They made me watch that whole thing and all I got out of it were a few hearty chuckles! I demand they take themselves off the Internet for still being more popular than Bing ever will be!

You probably think little piglets are cute, too...but I bet you don't think about that when you're eating this.

...ok, so maybe you do...

...if you're weak.

Envision a dark side, the force is with you.

Aww, I do that for my wee piglet, when he gets colicky in the middle of the night. But as soon as my baby is out of the warm bath, it's back to crying for hours I hate colic. So. Much.

Is it just me, or does he seem a little bemused, frightened and in need of his mum? I felt sad for the little guy.


Me too. Makes you want to turn to comfort foo-...err comfort him. But since I can't I'll just eat this plate of delicious, golden, & flaky bacon! Mmmmmm. Bacon.

The problem with piglets is that they grow up to be Republicans.

Jan Jakub Kolski directed Jasminium - imdb link.

Excerpt:
The film is about love: primarily about love or love relationship between a man and a woman. The viewer is gradually introduced first to Patricia's unrequited love to the movie star, and as the story unfolds, also to Jasmina's tragic love story with one of the monks, and finally the unhappy love story of Natasza, the main character. And the movie is about love in a more general sense, or similar feelings between human beings: exemplified in the unusual friendship between the little girl Genia and Brat Zdrówko (Brother Sanitas), or Natasza's friendship with Patricia.
...

The precocious narrator Genia is the only person who does not have a tragic love story hidden in the past for obvious reasons. Therefore her narration of the story is fairly objective, with her adorable dryness adding to the humorous aspect. In the end, however, Genia experiences her own version of a sad love story when she must leave Brat Zdrówko.

The key to solving all the mysteries of love lies in finding the right aroma. The film is all about magical smell. This extraordinary idea also adds to the fairytale aspect of the film. The important fact is that Natasza's magic perfume works as a love potion only because the love is already there. She merely gives a little boost by caring and acting upon her sympathy. This leads to the final topic of the film: "saintliness," as the director comments.

The film's message is that the most important thing between people is love and caring, and acting upon one's caring for another person. When the caring and acting reaches a certain level, it qualifies to be saintliness. The final scene, when Brat Zdrówko becomes a saint, confirms this idea. As the viewers saw in the film, Brat Zdrówko is the one who cares the most, even about the piglets; he is the one who acts the most to take care of the entire monastery, silently and inconspicuously. This final message is conveyed again with "a sense of humor and tender attentiveness" as Zdrówko complains he cannot light the stoves with the stigmata his hands.

Ohhh bother, whatever are we to do piglet?

>> ^asynchronice:
So WTF is this about 'if you eat pork products you support this.' Way to lose any sympathy you gained with greater population. Out the company responsible; out the government for lack of regulation, and ensure that anyone who does this is fined out of existence. But we're a meat eating species, get over it. Let's prevent cruelty and suffering as much as possible, but at the end of the day it's death and nom nom nom bacon.

But the problem is that this is hardly some sort of isolated case. Mistreatment of animals in animal industries is widespread and common. It isn't just about the steak on your plate or your glass of milk, it's about the leather shoes people wear, their fur coats, their wool caps and the circuses they attend. This happens every day, and an industry where the animals are treated well is exception, not rule.

Honestly, the amount of videos like these that I've seen suggest that this type of abuse is nothing more than a mere coping mechanism for the workers of an industry that sees more death than the average soldier on the frontline. As long as we kill and incarcerate animals for food, clothes or any other purpose, this will go on.
