Flying pig story flies across the world


We reported last week that noted Los Angeles-based performance artist Joaquin Blanco was claiming he'd spotted a flying pig while motorcycling through LA's rustic Topanga Canyon.

Although the accalimed artist provided what he called photographic "evidence," we'll admit we were wary.

Our skepticism was allayed somewhat by the real fears that Senor Blanco expressed after we ran the first story. He'd asked us to be "discreet"-- odd, since he knew we'd post this photos, yet in light of further correspondence, we've kept the pig on a back burner.

But now the story's been picked up internationally by the much-read UK website Anorak.

So all bets are off.
