TheCheeky.com, the site behind the suitcase stickers depicting drugs, sex toys, and kidnapped stewardesses, has somehow managed to disturb us even more: They’re selling piggy banks made out of real piglets which have been “taxidermied and inserted with what all piglets probably dream of as babies, a coin storage unit and a cork plug.” Somewhere, a PETA brigade is lighting torches and sharpening pitchforks.
The piggy banks cost $4000 and take 12 months to produce from the time of order, with $2000 expected up front and $2000 once the bank has been completed. TheCheeky assures us that the piglets used to make these banks have died of natural causes; while we’re not calling hogwash on them, that doesn’t much assausage our doubts, and we’re oinkcredulous about the whole matter.
