i'm going to take a wild guess and say that there wasn't a pig in the shell when it took off. Or, rather, there could have been a pig in the shell, but it wasn't the live one in the last few frames.

also, its more of a mortar than a cannon./pedant

So we've gone from one link youtube posts to one link to a jpg post? No background information to this image? No related links to other photos of pigs getting drunk the fired out of mortars?

Dr. Strangepork would want more background, I think. Is that where the photos are from, effbot? Sounds like a neat flick even if it's not.

Why are the two guys holding the pig in the penultimate pic wearing protective headgear and have dirty faces?

Not to say that this is either bad or offensive, of course. Just a little light on the ol' content, perhaps.

I've got a copy of the movie if any of you want it — email's in the profile.

I don't have subtitles though, I watched it without any and was delighted anyhow.
