For a species that is universally equated with ugliness, a little piglet born in the small Chinese village of Fengzhang makes Miss Piggy look like Megan Fox.
I’m completely horrified by the photo above, and yet, I…can’t…look…away. As owner Feng Changlin suggests, the little pig’s face – thin lips, bulbous nose, big eyes – looks exactly like a monkey. (Side note: Feng Changlin is a fucking awesome name and should be given to Marvel’s next comic book super villain ASAP.)
Any resemblance to a primate quickly shifts below the neck, however. Though parts of the thing are 100 percent pig, the beast’s back legs are longer than the front legs. Such a disadvantage (advantage?) means the little piglet hops around like a kangaroo.
I don’t know about you, but that fact right there freaks my shit out. I just keep picturing the little thing leaping off the ground and biting my face off.
As expected, the farmer and his wife are completely horrified by the thing. Obviously, they can’t sell the thing because it’s too hideous. And though they want to get rid of it, it appears Feng Changlin’s son won’t let him. Apparently, the young Changlin has taken quite a shine to the little guy. He plays with it and feeds it milk. Is that cute? Or revolting? (Answer: revolting).

Jeff why do you have to be like that?? I think your journalism Is repulsive and we should put you down. That pig/monkey is cool and has just as much of a right to live as you. Which is more than I can say about your ranting ludacris journalism. Thank you, from Canada

Pigs are very close in DNA to us. And they are also very tasty.

The sad part of this story is that 'Vanessa Hudgens Nude... Again' is the related article. Algorithmic flub or am I missing something?

I just don't understand why this "article" should be published. Not only do you sound like 15 year old boy and make assumptions like "means the little piglet hops around like a kangaroo." when the piglet would most likely not be able to jump or hop all that well considering it's disability.I agree with Grant fletcher, you are repulsive. Even your headline has nothing to do with the article! The pig was born on a normal farm, how is that in anyway a science fail? Your a fail in journalism.

People who criticize others' work and put down their journalism should first cast the logs out of their own eyes, and stop failing at basic grammar and spelling. On a side note, that is quite a disturbing picture.
