"In one of their more delicate rulings of recent years, British television watchdogs ruled that a pig sexually pleasured on television by a minor celebrity did not feel degraded by the experience."
How do they know the pig enjoyed it?

Simul-OINK!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | December 03, 2004 at 07:14 AM
and this isn't the FIRST time there's been a repeat, either!

And when asked to comment on her technique, Mr. Beckham responded with a distinctly uncomfortable, "No Comment."

*Smark* @ Jeff P.!
Jeff M. - two simulposts? creepy.
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Andriod | December 03, 2004 at 07:17 AM
yes, but did the minor celebrity even bother to call the next day?
swine.
Posted by: lurker | December 03, 2004 at 07:20 AM
Inside sources tell this reporter that, despite having "a pleasurable and non-degrading experience," the pig in question has since refused to return Ms. Loos' phone calls. Looks like one more celebrity couple is on the outs this Christmas season.
Posted by: Jeff P. | December 03, 2004 at 07:23 AM
How many times is this pig going to be "pleasured"? More than some of us, I would guess!
Posted by: Eleanor | December 03, 2004 at 07:26 AM
"The task performed by Rebecca Loos is one that occurs regularly on UK farms."
Ok... I could care less that a 'minor celeb.' did this. What I want to know is how Uk farmers wake up in the morning and eat their breakfast knowing this is the day of the week they have to go outside and...uhum.... 'stimulate' a flask's worth of semen from their pig.

Ha-HAAA!!! The rest of the world can't make fun of us any longer for last year's Superbowl Wardrobe Malfunction and its subsequent court hearings!!!
Posted by: Pam B. | December 03, 2004 at 08:10 AM
Note to self: Just to be safe, avoid shaking hands with any UK pig farmers.
Bow, salute, whatever, but no no handshakes.
Posted by: lurker | December 03, 2004 at 08:15 AM
Sorry Judi. You're the ultimate blog goddess and all, but I posted this one as the "WTF Headline of the Day" a couple of days ago.
Of course, that was back when I could post links. *cough*
It's not a repeat Marvin, just a rehash.
Mmmmm. Hash.
Posted by: Federal Duck | December 03, 2004 at 08:36 AM
She obviously heard that to become a major celebrity, one had to sleep with a lot of pigs, and just got confused.
Posted by: slyeyes | December 03, 2004 at 08:40 AM
It's all a part of animal 'husbandry' no matter what kind of animal one is refering to. There are several 'stud' farms outside of Kerrville and in the Hill Country. How do you think they collect the semen?
*the exception is in human beings*
(just thinking; Maybe girls should be more selective about the source of semen they accept in the future)
After a number of generations, society reaches it's lowest common denominator. So maybe 'collection' isn't so bad after all!
Posted by: kat | December 03, 2004 at 08:47 AM
I've never seen animals during "the process"... Do they get excited and grunt a bunch? If so... how do you possibly retain your dignity while the hog is grunting at you like that??
Posted by: thefly | December 03, 2004 at 08:53 AM
Why can't they just let the sows (female pigs) in with the boar? Wouldn't that be less messy and less revolting?
Does this say something about pig farmers - they actually want to stimulate boars? We are crossing lines into homosexuality, bestiality.... speciality...
Posted by: Somewhere North | December 03, 2004 at 08:57 AM
thefly: if by "animals" you mean "men", the answer would be yes.
Posted by: Debbie | December 03, 2004 at 08:58 AM
federal duck: i hate to break it to ya, but i don't read a lot of the comments, and i never EVER click a link.
Posted by: judi | December 03, 2004 at 09:03 AM
Also, judi changed the subtitle from 'British Style' to 'Yet another example of how people in other cultures do things differently.'
Will the madness never cease?!
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Andriod | December 03, 2004 at 09:05 AM
I agree that the experience probably wasn't degrading to the boar.
But then, surely that's not the question? Better questions the court could have answered:
"Should the show have required a person to 'stimulate' a barnyard animal for their (the show's) amusement?"
and
"Should this have been shown on television?"
Yes, this sort of thing happens on farms all the time, but out of necessity, which i think is a doggone important distinction.
Okay, i'm off my soapbox now. Now back to witticisms that Judi won't read. *sniff*
Posted by: cuzn ed | December 03, 2004 at 09:15 AM
"The audience were treated to the sight of Rebecca Loos, the self-proclaimed ex-lover of England football captain David Beckham, stimulating the boar for 10 minutes to produce a flask of semen."
10 minutes is an awfully long time. I've walked in the house, turned on the tv, nuked the pizza, got a drink, gone outside for the mail, sorted through and thrown away the junk... and she is STILL working on that boar.
Posted by: thefly | December 03, 2004 at 09:30 AM
LMAO at Debbie's comment.
As for the piggy ... I'm thinking it's probably the best hand job he'll ever get ... I mean, have you SEEN the female pig's hooves? Ouch!
Posted by: punky brewster | December 03, 2004 at 09:34 AM
Hey, it's not her fault, thefly. Let's be honest, Ms Loos isn't really all that pretty. Not to a boar, anyway - she doesn't even have the right number of ramparts!
It probably just took him a few minutes to conjure up the right mental image of Miss Piggy.
Posted by: cuzn ed | December 03, 2004 at 09:47 AM
Zaphod: They know that the pig enjoyed it becasue he asked for a cigarette after the hand job.
Posted by: Jessica R. | December 03, 2004 at 09:48 AM
Great... now I've got this mental image of the dumb pig with one of those thought bubbles floating above his head with Ms. Piggy doing her best "OH OH KERMY"
Posted by: thefly | December 03, 2004 at 09:52 AM
My brain is still struggling with the concept of obtaining a FLASK (damn the last of italics) of pig juice. A FLASK?!? (damns lack of italics and bolding). And she did that in 10 minutes?
Time to change the batteries on the ego-shield....
Posted by: wysiwyg | December 03, 2004 at 10:04 AM
What about milking a cow? Isn't that degrading to the cow? After all, the milk was supposed to be for her young'un! How 'porkish' of man to steal her milk!!!!!!
Posted by: kat | December 03, 2004 at 10:11 AM
Actually... a flask is probably right. I once read some rather disturbing comments about Pigs reproductive habits... aside from the shape (spiral) I think I remember reading that they actually DO derive pleasure from it.
Posted by: Just | December 03, 2004 at 10:14 AM
To reply to an earlier post:
(just thinking; Maybe girls should be more selective about the source of semen they accept in the future)
Umm.. where to start? First off, are you suggesting we do as pigs to an procreate from flask-got semen? Second of all, from the impression I get of most women on this blog, they ARE selective, and I for one know I AM. I mean... If I'm going to be selective about the shoes I put on my feet you can be sure I am about that. I think thats why they have those things called 'relationships'....
just sayin'...

I think I read somewhere that a pig's orgasm last for 20 hours.
Can we put in requests for our next life reincarnation assignments?
Posted by: punky brewster | December 03, 2004 at 10:32 AM
Punky - I heard the same thing... I was trying to find the exact facts online but no luck. :(
Posted by: Just | December 03, 2004 at 10:35 AM
"Did you know?...A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. A pig's penis is shaped like a corkscrew and it is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky...unless of course, you played 'pig-tipping'."

Posted by: Just | December 03, 2004 at 10:38 AM
30 minutes ... 20 hours .... same difference.
The point is ... longer than mine.
Posted by: punky brewster | December 03, 2004 at 10:48 AM
Hey Just, my above comment was not intended to be snippy. I'm just jealous of the pig ... not annoyed at you :)
Posted by: punky brewster | December 03, 2004 at 10:50 AM
the pig's penis, is, indeed corkscrew shaped, and thus we get the vernacular word... aw, screw it, you guys knew it anyway.
Posted by: neophyte | December 03, 2004 at 10:53 AM
Punky said "...I'm just jealous of the pig ... "
Not a phrase that one hears everyday.
Posted by: DentArthurDent | December 03, 2004 at 10:54 AM
You guys all laugh at this... But in the early 90's, I had an opportunty to move to Australia to help start a software company, and you're all wondering how this is relevant to the story other than Oz once being a penal (not penile) colony for the Brits. The guy who was forming the company made his millions selling pig semen to the Japanese. I think I lost the opportunty when I asked what soft drink it was for.
Posted by: Brad | December 03, 2004 at 10:56 AM
it puts a whole new spin on the advice given to Victorian brides on their wedding nights, 'Just close your eyes and think of England'
it also gives a new meaning to 'pulled pork' sandwiches.

Posted by: c t tutt | December 03, 2004 at 11:10 AM
Alas, Punky - read the fine print on that 30 minute (or 73 hour or whatever) orgasm. It occurs during sex with a PIG.
So...double bonus is all I'm saying.
Posted by: Christobol | December 03, 2004 at 11:14 AM
Actually, the flask thing makes good sense - pigs produce the largest quantity of semen per ejaculation of any animal in the world - A PINT on average!
Posted by: keylime | December 03, 2004 at 11:26 AM
Punky - thats alright... I thought I had a disclaimer on that post that said I found conflicting numbers... most say its longer (than 30 ms), and one said 30 minutes is a minimum....
No worries!
Posted by: Just | December 03, 2004 at 11:28 AM
Key - THAT is the second fact I was looking for... no luck finding it though, so THANKS!
*****WooHOO for Double Bonus!!!!!******

Posted by: Mike Weasel | December 03, 2004 at 11:49 AM
WARNING....UNFUNNY COMMENT AHEAD
Being raised on a farm, I happen to know that it is in fact dangerous to breed pigs the natural way. The weight of the boars often harms the sow. I have seen a sow "positioned" between two bales of hay so the boar can put his feet on the hay instead of resting all his weight on the sow. The weight can actually break a sow's legs. Poor girl.

MEMO TO: punky
FROM: computer moron
What exactly does"can't post" mean? Does she type in the square and click "post" and nothing happens? Or has the square disappeared? I'm just curious -
*slow day here*
Posted by: Eleanor | December 03, 2004 at 11:53 AM
Hmm.. I guess the pigs have never heard of *cowgirl* or *missionary* ... yanno, I feel bad for the lil' piggies...
Considering they have Orgasms that last at least a half an hour, they can't even have *full sex* without worryin' about their men breakin' their legs or hirting them!!!
THAT is a rough life....I'll take the Orgasmatron any ol' day....

Posted by: thefly | December 03, 2004 at 12:09 PM
Eleanor ... well ... from one computer moron to another ... so far as I can tell, there are a few people who can not post ... I think when they try and post it says something about being "prohibited". And in many cases, there earlier posts have disappeared.
That's the word on the street.

Eleanor...Wysiwyg and I can only point people to Judi (and thereby Nava). I was blocked a couple months ago for 3 long days. But once Judi and Nava realized what was wrong, they (being Nava) fixed it quickly. It seems the spam blockers are being a bit overzealous. I'm sure Elle, DJT, Peri, Bangi, and any other unfortunates will have their scarlet letter (S) removed before long.

Yet another case of the sword being mightier than the pig pen.
Posted by: golfwidow | December 03, 2004 at 02:38 PM
As bad as getting the semen from the boar may be, I have to point out that fertilizing the sow is likely worse. Unless, of course, the "turkey baster" comes with the optional orgasmatron attachment.
I have worked to inseminate cows and, while it wasn't the last time I was up to my shoulder in a birth canal, it was certainly the least entertaining. Who knew that there was a market for silicone gloves the length of your arm?!?
And another thing, there has to be a SPAM/sperm joke in this topic somewhere, but I spent an hour trying to come up with it and I'll be damned if I can come up with it.
I'm off to find cold glasses and olives . . . .

When I was in college I went to visit my cousins who lived in rural PA - he was a large animal vet -wnet out with him on a call (I not being either an animal person or a country chick) and he did the arm (in rubber globe) up to the shoulder in a cow's rear - eeewwww!
