Floyd inflatable pig goes missing

[edesignuk]

A reward has been offered for a giant inflatable pig which floated into the Californian desert during a concert by ex-Pink Floyd star Roger Waters.



Organisers of the Coachella Festival have put up a $10,000 (£5,090) bounty, plus tickets for life, for its return.

The pig, which is the width of two buses, has a checked ballot box for US presidential hopeful Barack Obama painted on its underbelly.

Waters said "that's my pig" as it drifted away during Sunday's gig.

The animal's flanks bear the slogans "fear builds walls" and "don't be led to the slaughter", with a cartoon of Uncle Sam holding two meat cleavers.

You're way behind the curve: that was the whole point behind the original pig anyway.

Ah well, I'm off to the bridge… now where did I put them heavy stones…

Chelsea Bridge would be most appropriate, as the first flying pig was tethered over Battersea Power Station...

Now that is a bridge too far for me… Kingston is closer.

I spy with my little eye a piggy-wiggy in the sky.

Article has already been updated; pig has been found:

A giant inflatable pig which floated away during a Roger Waters concert at the weekend has been recovered in tatters in California.

The pig, which measured the width of two buses, was found by two families on their driveways in La Quinta.

They will split the $10,000 (£5,090) reward offered by the Coachella music festival, from where the pig was lost.

...

The two families who found what was left of the inflatable have also decided to share four life tickets to the Coachella festival that were offered as part of the reward.

Floyd started losing flying pigs over thirty years ago!
I suppose at least they are good at it by now.
