MadManMike Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I won't believe it until they have the head mounted and some reporter actually touches it... and why didn't they take any video??? I am sure there were hundreds of reporters who would have loved to film it. My brother is a published photoshop artist... I don't believe any "amazing" pictures any more. Show me video proof and I will believe it And how about a picture with a measuring stick in it? or a picture of the pig on the scale so we can see the reading? If I got a pig that big I would have documented it a lot better. Also as a side note: I think the first photo is using a little bit of trick photography, because the scale of the pig changes compared to the boy in the next few pictures. It looks like the boy is standing aways behind the pig and is leaning on his own knee as he is crouching.... they try to make it look like he is leaning on the pig. Just my 0.2 cents -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONe21 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I saw it in my local paper (Mobile Register). It was in Alabama if I'm not mistaken. I assume they checked it out if they put it in the news paper. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 0.2 cents -Mike You are very correct in your side note. That is exactly how they staged the shot before the photoshopping. Same with the second photo. The peope are standing at least 10 feet behind the pig. It's called foreshortening or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I assume they checked it out if they put it in the news paper. Bwaaaaahhhh haa haaaaaaaaa..... The sound of naivety. Reality check: The media is far more interested in selling papers than checking facts. And oh yeah... George lies. Sorry to ruin your happy day.

MadManMike Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Thats no pig thats a Rhino Thats another one of my points... in the photo it looks about as big as a rhino, but rhinos weigh around 2000-5000 pounds... so why does this thing only weigh 1100?? I don't actually doubt the weight of the pig. But I do doubt that it is really as big as they make it look. There have been cases of wiled pigs weighing in at 900lbs so 1100 is not to unimaginable. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v6engine Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 An optical illusion or a photoshop trick. The former seems far more plausible. Pretty much case closed to me http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2007/05/31/pu...source=flashapp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagwoodzz Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) It wasn't a wild pig, either. But it WAS huge. http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/stori...monsterpig.html That pig was only 2.5 years old? I had no idea they could grow that fast.
