Pig Brother

You can’t make a silk purse out of a pig’s ear but you can take inspiration from the strangest of sources. ITV may have called a halt to conning the public with their premium rate ‘phone lines, but the ‘phone vote lives on in Devon.

A friend who lives down there is arranging his birthday bash, which will be a five-a-side footie match followed by a pig roast. Nothing unusual there - except that he has been raising the pigs for the roast himself.

How, you ask yourself, can anyone who has fed and nurtured piglets decide to give them the chop and stick them in a bap. Well…only one of them is getting the cop, and which one goes is up to the guests attending the party.

The choice is made via text vote - the names of the pigs in question: ‘Jade’ and ‘Shilpa’.
