back to article Radioactive hybrid terror pigs break out of nuclear hellscape home and into people's hearts

It seems that the monstrous irradiated boar-pig hybrids that we featured in an article last week have broken out of their former home in the exclusion zone around the destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant and are now running riot around the internet. Indeed, the boars in question have moved on from stealing laptops from …

    I'll be waiting for the bovine version so that this nuclear story can be milked a bit more. After a while, we will be pecking on the chickenwingnuts too.

    Finally, the corn will pop from the radiated heat and the whole story will decay with a half-life of 13 days and 42 minutes. The result will be a living decay chain along farm lines until the last bacterial species have popped their shells.

        Do they show glow-in-the-dark milk? And, what is the decay-rate of the chicks and Uzi's?

      Luckily no large camel population in Japan. An Attack Of The Mutant Camels would be devastating.

        The small population could be a sign of ninja. There could be Teenage Mutant Ninja Camels and that would be devastating indeed.

            Apparently it's an existing meme, but related to the herb, mint, and an associated candy, rather than having anything to do with good old Jeff and the llamas.

    Asterix in Japan?

    I know both Uderzo and Goscinni have joined Toutatis and Belenos now but the opportunities for Obelix must be endless.

      I have allured as much in a post in the original terror pig article.

      Obelix versus radioactive terror piggies... now THAT will be worth a saga to tell on a cold winter's night.

          Caught it at a double bill showing with Eraserhead at the Duke Of York's in Brighton back in '88... that was quite a night / early hours of the next morning walking back to Falmer from Round Hill / London Road.

            Ah the Duke of Yorks. I think the last time I went there it was an Arnie latenight triple bill. And Falmer: the catering was rotten as ****. ('87)

              I'm sure they put on an Arnie triple bill quite regularly, but the draw of The Guvornator was what first drew my attention and got me visiting there regularly. Also the Rocky Horror triple bills - TRHPS along with two or three of the movies mentioned in the opening song... greasy food from the box office... loved it. On the days we hadn't stuffed our bellies at The Black Chapati.

              Sounds like we were there at the same time! I was at the Uni. The Poly was "the other side of the tracks".

              The refectory at the uni I ate at very seldomly indeed, maybe only the once - it deserved its nickname of "The Rectal Refectory". The food really was shit.

    What a Muppet movie this would make

    The Muppets, Pigs in Space. A film about the love tussle between Miss Piggy, Kermit and Boarzilla. Just need to throw in a bit of Revenge of Billy the Kid to the mix and you would have something beyond words.
