Reginald Pike Issues Open Call to Save Pig
OK then. Things just get weirder and weirder. A pig, Red, which recently appeared in a Perlorian Brothers-helmed commercial is apparently set to be slaughtered and the kind folks at Reginald Pike feel sorry for the little guy and want to save him:
Hello.
My name is Red.
I'm a pig.
Recently I had a supporting role in a television commercial for a major international cellular telephone provider. The commercial was directed by the Perlorian Brothers and written by Mother NY.
Everyone was very nice to me, and I think I did a pretty decent job for my first time on set, but I've since learned that I'm scheduled to be slaughtered in a week. This is not good for an actor's career. I knew it was a non-union job and the residuals weren't anything to get excited about, but I wasn't expecting to be hung by my foot and have my throat slit.
Fortunately, my new friends at Reginald Pike, Toronto, Biscuit, L.A., and Mother are working to find me a new home at a petting zoo (despite all this, I love humans). You can help me too by getting a limited edition t-shirt with my picture on it at http://www.reginaldpike.com
They're only $20 and proceeds go to my care and feeding.
Please help.

What a rough deal... I hope Red gets a new gig!
I wonder if Red is getting a percentage of the profits from starring in this agency's viral marketing campaign? Being put up for slaughter once should be enough.
They should really contact Farm Sanctuary at www.farmsanctuary.com. Petting zoos are no places for animals!
Squeakywheel, I had the same thought, and contacted Farm Sanctuary to let them know about the campaign.
Right on, sister! Gotta love the Farm...

Damn you people. We were this close.
Hasn't anyone seen Charlotte's Web?
Mmmmmmm! I'm getting hungry. I think I'll go home to my freezer and pull out a tasty pork chop.
