The epitome of class.

Celebrities are a weird lot of drug addicts and crazy people… that also happen to be good looking, in most cases, and usually can act just enough to keep you in your seat at the movies.

They are also responsible for trends, whether it be a certain style of clothing or maybe even a hairstyle. Unfortunately, it is our “celebrities” that seem to shape far too many lives in America. Now, I’ve just read an article that leaves me saying,”Celebrities that bring home the bacon are now taking it too far.”

That’s right folks- pigs for pets. I personally blame this all on Varsity Blues where the linemen of the football team had a pig for a pet, but supposedly Paris Hilton and the Beckhams also have these little fellas in their homes.

The micro pigs are hairless creatures, so that’s good for the hypoallergenic crowd out there… and they keep themselves clean. I wonder if they can be litter trained? Probably. The little piggies don’t grow to the size of a regular pig, so if you’re thinking about getting one just to fatten it up and make a wonderful ham out of it for next Christmas you should invest elsewhere.

I have a rule that I live by in life- if it has ever, and I repeat, EVER, been in my stomach it can not be a pet in my home. This is as retarded to me as when Homer decided to get a lobster as a pet and name him Pinchy. The little micro pigs must be allowed to roam freely in the garden, so this would not be a good city pet. I wonder if my landlord will come up with new wording in my rental agreement: Dogs OK/Cats OK, NO PIGS!!!

I really hope this doesn’t catch on. My girlfriend already has enough 4-legged critters in our home that I don’t know what I would do with walking bacon in the house too.
