You guys are so mean, calling it a deformity!! Imagine a pig with no snout. How terrible would that be? They could like, do loads of things.
So a pig with one snout is better than that.
But a pig with two snouts? OMG pwnage. If theres any animal i wouldn't go toe-2-toe with, its that one.
This is totally evolution.
You're just bitter because you were born with a third ear and don't want the little xmen-pig to get beat up in the school yard.

Definitely not just you...I'm still seeing the snouts as legs.

For a second I thought I was looking at its backside.

It's pretty safe to say that this little guy won't be starring in any Babe sequels. 
As for the deformation, it's unfortunate that the pig's life span will be significantly shortened. I agree that because it's apparently being revered as a good luck sign it will receive good treatment. Heck, it's probably luckier than its siblings in that respect. I doubt they're just raising the pigs to contribute to the worldwide pig population- these guys are probably destined for supermarket shelves. At least the two faced pig won't end up as bacon. It all depends on how you look at it.

Yeah but my third ear shoots lasers.

Sure. A really big anus. The reason for the uproar was over what this could mean for the pig poop production industry.

Too bad it doesn't show a side shot as well to see the 3rd or 4th eye, so people could get a better idea of what it looks like.

Yes, I KNOW I'm sensitive and take things that are meant to be jokes VERY seriously, but it's not something I can help and I don't like the idea of people making rude jokes and remarks about this poor pig. Okay, so it looks funny to some people. When *I* see it however, I see a poor piglet that probably won't see that many more days and I think it's awful that people can joke about it and say that it's cute and cuddly and whatnot. It has a deformity and it is NOT cute. How can you see a life-threatening deformity as cute? And how could anyone joke that they thought the pig's eyes was its anus? It's sick. And it's wrong.

I'm sensitive too, so I don't know if anyone else will feel the same way but I see your point.
I do think its cute though.. not cause I think deformities are cute, cause they aren't, I just.. Idunno, just think its cute even though it could be thought of as ugly? If that makes sense.. You do have me thinking though, maybe I shouldn't think that.

No, it is wrong to characterize people who think the pig is cute/funny as sick and inhumane. If you are of the mind that the pig is to be pitied, that is your opinion and nobody should call you names for it. Other people are of the mind that the pig is cute/the article is amusing, and while that may disagree with your opinion, it does not give you the right to villify them.
If this topic's nature upsets you, please do not visit it again. You can express an opinion but when doing so you have to respect the other members of the forum. Seeing as the pig is not a member, comments about it can't be punished or considered belligerent. Comments calling other members sick, awful, and rude are.
I would like for everyone to please take this post in to account when commenting on this thread. Thank you.

I see your point. Thanks for informing me of my nature. Sometimes, I don't think. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. It wasn't my intention to do so; I just get carried away sometimes and again, I'm sorry.
