Roger Waters, a Youtube Flying Pig Film Festival and the official end of Live Blogging Live Earth

12:31 EST: Okay, no longer live now. Roger Waters was outstanding. Singing 'No Education' with a choir of smiling school kids behind him. And then there was that huge floating pig with the BIG BLACK SOS written on its side. The pig is perfect. The pig is everything. The pig is what this is all about. The symbol of the Flying Pig is what this is all about. Somehow you just know its true. So now so inspired: here are a few Youtube Pink Floyd Flying Pig Videos for your consideration. I suggest you take some mushrooms and watch all of them at the same time, over and over, with the sound turned way up, all the while pondering your own consumption habits, patterns and environmental footprint:

#2:



#3:

#5:



And then I must add that I'm finding it amazing the other films that come up in the Youtube search engine just from the words 'Flying Pig'. For instance:

Here is 'Just Another Night on the Job for a Flying Pig':



'Zen and the Art of Flying Pigs':



'Flying Pig: A Tribute':



'Drawing a Flying PIg':



'The flying pig of my mother':



'The Flying Pig':



And finally, 'Flying Pig shakin its ass':



And then there is another one with these two absolutely adorable kids running around and playing with these flying pig hats on their heads; the wings are attached to strings that the kids can pull to make them flap and the whole thing is set to the music of 'you send me right round baby right round like a record baby right round right round', but its embedding is turned off. And then there is another completely disturbing one with some guy throwing his little pig around, that was very stupid and cruel. For a moment I thought maybe I SHOULD show that one. Maybe I should be disturbing, because, ultimately, ITS ALL SO DISTRUBING. But then I chose not to. I don't want to. I don't want to see it again. And maybe THATS the problem. Vegetarians I'm sure would tell me that the fact that I don't want to ever again see THAT particular Youtube Flying Pig Video - THAT THAT is in fact - THE PROBLEM. The Flying Pig as the disturbing, cruel reality.

So there it is - a Youtube Flying Pig Film Festival. And they say that everything has already been done on the Internet.

Save the Earth. I can certainly understand the plastic bag thing. For you Madonna: I must do better with the plastic bags, as well as other things I'm sure. Gotta love myself I guess. One of their commercials: we use a million plastic bags a day. 2.2 million barrels of oil. Or was it Billion? Something like that.

So yes there it is:

With that, we have come to the end of our broadcast day here for Live Earth Live Blogging. Closing with a Youtube Flying Pig film festival. Dear people I can tell you: I certainly would not have thought that, when I began this ridiculous exercise, earlier this afternoon.

Cheers. Happy 7.07.07. And good luck.
