Bad Piggies Special Holiday Music Video “Ode to Snow”
In the new Bad Piggies holiday video, "Ode to Snow" Rovio uncovers an little know fact: green pigs with mustaches and overly thick eyebrows prefer summer. We don't know exactly why, but it's likely because those frozen 'staches and brows are awfully itchy as they start to thaw out. When frozen they also don't trap tasty flies as well. Those are just theories though -- we may never know the real reason. Fortunately, as he looks back to his childhood he realizes just how much fun the snow can be.Per Rovio,
This is the story of one Bad Piggy and his dislike for snow! Poor old Moustache Pig doesn't have much love for it, as you'll hear in this frosty and festive song performed by Ernie Sabella -- best known as the voice of Pumbaa from the Lion King!Happy holidays everyone!

Six Machines of the Bad Piggies Industrial Revolution
Welcome to another Pigineering special "repork" from the sunny shores of Piggy Island! Strategically located in the middle of the Rovio Sea and easily accessible via the iOS App Store, Google Play or wherever else, Piggy Island had experienced a massive boom of tourism for the past few years despite an ongoing war between the two major animal species residing there.Puns aside, in 2012 the Bad Piggies game was released to the public and finally the pigs have commenced an industrial revolution to change pig life for the better. Trade and communications have been sped up enormously with modern planes, trains and pork-o-mobiles, while top entrepreneur Bacon Musk had even contemplated providing low cost access to space with his new range of Bacon 9 rockets. All this despite no news of any future updates to the Bad Piggies game, but as we say, real engineers just need a Field of Dreams and some blueprints to build by!![Pumpkin Machine Gun Schematics copy]()
Who needs slingshots when pigs have MACHINE GUNS? • • • For the past two years, the Bad Piggies Community along with Pigineering, have been pushing the boundaries of the Bad Piggies game engine, boldly going where no pig has gone before with mad inventions that fail "epigly" and just about explode all over the place.But with time, silly inventions did give way to practical applications for pig-built machinery. Indeed, the development of Bad Piggies pig-engineering does mirror, in some way our own human history from the 18th to the early 20th Centuries, and we hope you enjoy the hilarious irony in the following list of recent and notable pigineering creations. There may be no game updates promised in the near future, but thanks to the ham-fisted determination from the Bad Piggies Community, there's nothing stopping us from reaching out to broaden our horizons and forge a new world where pigs live in peace amongst the stars (eventually)!Impressive as the Bacon Space Program is, we're still a long way to go from actually sending the Fat Pig to colonize the various donuts, cakes and ice cream planets floating out there. So while we continue watching rockets blow up on the launch pad, here's a list of some down-to-earth Bad Piggies machinery you're sure to be thrilled with in the meantime:![king pig porters]()
• • • We hope you enjoyed this ridiculous and controversial (as always) Pig-Written news pork-cast, and hope to see you again as we document the Bacon Space Program next time. Remember piglets, the sky is NOT the limit in the realm of Photoshop!![Bad piggies ISS Full Station copy]()

Images of Bad Piggies construction vehicles and pig-porters from Angry Birds Toons
All other images pork-duced in-house at Pigineering.
#1 -- The Great Pumpkin Harvester
The Victorian Age introduced industrial automation to the farm, replacing traditional snout and trotter labor with powerful new machines. This Pumpkin Harvester not only is far more rapid than manual labor, but can ferry produce direct to market by air as well.In my book, that's far superior to 21st Century human technology already!#2 -- Jet Propelled Catapork (Catapult)
Traditional Cataporks are huge, unwieldy medieval siege engines with a limited range, typically used by Corporal Pig to hurl vegetables and old furniture at bird-shaped targets.While King Pig Office ordered us to design a slingshot so that he too can enjoy some bird-flinging action, the Director of Pigineering decided to reinvent the wheel (so to speak) and produce a next-generation weapon system on par with modern human missiles.The Jet Propelled Catapork is a compact platform firing a rocket propelled warhead fitted with a rudimentary guidance system that precisely diverts rocket thrust to compensate for the Earth's gravity pull. This makes it much easier to aim for the obviously untrained Soldier Pigs out there.(Corporal Pig infamously can't hit an egg with a crossbow from FIVE YARDS away!)The King Pig was utterly confused by this device and it was never featured at all on Facepork, Twitter, or elsewhere. Hilarious!#3 -- Inverted Wing for Downforce
Why did we do this? Because Racecar, that's why.This automotive accessory is absolutely mandatory for fans of the famous racing game series Need for Egg: Pork Pursuit. Inverted wings keep go-fast piggies grounded to the ground. The huger the wing, the greater the ridiculousness! (That's "awesome" in pig language, by the way.)#4 -- High Speed Pig-Mobility Walker
The HSPMW is a medical device intended to teach large, lazy pigs to walk again, after decades of doing nothing but eating and sleeping. It is inspired by recent advances in strength-enhancing robotic 'power suits' made in Japan.This device was designed in response to growing health and safety concerns over using small piglets as porters for King Pig's incredibly porky, Moon-eclipsing hulk. King Pig might have no feet, but he sure can bounce fast given proper motivation!
#5 -- Crawler-Transporter & Soyuz Rocket
Part NASA Crawler-Transporter, part Russian Soyuz, this crazy "mad scientist" contraption is a finely tuned horizontal-transport, vertical-launch platform for the next generation of space exploration vehicles.The vehicle is assembled horizontally and tilted vertical for launch, as it is deemed a more space-economical solution, as vertical assembly requires a huge assembly building like the VAB at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Pigs like Russian simplicity!#6 -- Bridge Over River Pork
"Bridge Over River Pork" chronicles the ingenuity of King Pig's Royal Pigineers in spanning the chasms over the infamous "Flight in the Night" sandbox levels with pre-fabricated, air or land-transportable bridges. This greatly eases communications lines in this formerly impassable terrain.Despite insistence from Army officers to "design a proper bridge", sub-standard labor coupled with materials supplied by the lowest bidder meant that the Bridge Over River Pork was destroyed at the very first instance it was used. Pig officers then claimed that the ever-expanding waistlines of Pig Army soldiers are to blame.

Everything is Awesome in Slow Motion
As far as physics simulators go, Bad Piggies is a wonderfully simple pick up and play title that anyone can enjoy. But being able to build huge mega-machines means we need to be able to observe their inner workings in fine detail. It is after all immensely fun to observe in close detail, how components and subsystems behave as they creak and groan in unison on their way towards the wildly entertaining nirvana of "epig failure", where everything splits apart in a glorious fountain of gratuitous mayhem. Just check out this video here!Some say that these slow-mo videos are "way too slow", but true Pigineers desire to study the physical interactions between mind and matter in such great detail (and maybe calculate shear stresses and bending moments too), that one well built machine could keep them occupied for hours. Not that there's anything else to do on Piggy Island besides eat and sleep anyway!

Hello, SpaceX Falcon 9. Do you like Bacon?
As referred to in parody fashion in our earlier Pigineering article, we are big fans of space exploration because of Fat Pig's wonderful tales of eggsteroid mining and intergalactic cake shops the size of a solar system. Don't forget to bring the manual for the Infinite Improbability Drive! You never know what to expect each day at Pigineering!Today is no exception, some mad scientist among us was keenly observing the recent SpaceX activities here on Earth while scrounging and saving for his Tesla Model S. Soon after, this set of wacky blueprints appeared in our office. It claimed to be a re-usable rocket first stage that, if successful, will drastically reduce the Bad Piggies' cost of access into space.As we know, the first stage of a rocket is responsible for putting a huge mass of stuff into orbit, and it has to deal with the lion's share of the seriously huge job of defying gravity and making sure your upper stages and payload(s) are in the right trajectory for orbital insertion. It is typically the biggest part of a rocket for that reason. You've built rockets in Kerbal Space Program before, right?The SpaceX Falcon 9R would be Earth's first ever re-usable first stage and it has a novel ability to conduct a powered descent and soft landing back to Earth once its upper stage is on its way. You've seen those jaw-droppingly awesome powered descent scenes in sci-fi shows; now imagine the same capability existing today, with a giant rocket to boot! No wonder our scientist was thrilled to work for nights and days on this "Bacon 9R rocket". As you can see in the below video, it's just like the Falcon 9R, only pigger! **Except of course, we used parachutes instead of rocket engines for the landing. This still provides the required soft-landing capability, without the need for heavy landing gear and sacrificing payload. Did I mention the Bad Piggies like simplicity? We don't have the means to design pens that work in space, so we use pencils!** Means more primitive, poorly pig-built by the lowest bidder, 100% chance of epic fail (or epig, if you prefer). At Pigineering, we never fail to fail!

Air Travel Woes on Piggy Island
Breaking News - King Pig stranded whist on vacation!Airports have been shut down all over Piggy Island following what appeared to be a freak lightning storm in space. No bacon was consumed in the making of this video.Though vehemently decried as "blatantly im-pork-sible" by scientists of the Pork Side, a simulation of the strange but deadly plane-destroying phenomenon was previously submitted to the Piggy Porkcasting Corporkration (it's just like the BBC, only pigger).Apparently stumped, the pigineering department admitted that piggy science is not all encompassing and that we should all go home and enjoy some cake instead.In other news, some enterprising piglets have proposed a new and faster method of boarding airplanes, guaranteed to reduce check-in times by a factor of one hundred and ten percent. What do you think of this idea?

What is a ROFLcopter?
Fans of Bad Piggies have often asked us this question on Facepork: "What is a ROFLcopter?"Unfortunately I don't think we've ever answered the question properly in the entire course of our existence, because we are very lazy pigs.But with nothing much to do right now besides eat and sleep, it would be sacrilege not to sacrifice some precious beauty sleep to document the most awesome flying machine of them all: the ROFLcopter.In this typically controversial pig-written article we will document the various attributes of a ROFLcopter, which is an incredible flying machine that looked like it took shape in the drawing room of a crazy Victorian gentleman.Don't forget to bring your parachute - you'll need it!1. This is my ROFLcopter. There are many copters but this one is mine. No two ROFLcopters are alike. Sick and tired of other pigineers making copies of your ridiculous contraptions? Bored of making "realistic" helicopter designs? Why not add rotors and V8 engines to your office desk and start flying it home? Then it will be your desk turned wacky copter (i.e., ROFLcopter) and no one can claim it as theirs!2. My ROFLcopter is my life. I must master my ROFLcopter as I must master my life. ROFLcopters are for those die-hard piglets who would do anything to be different, even at the cost of risking their own ham and bacon.We recommend you have valid life pig-surance (insurance) coverage. Colossal "Epig Fails" (Epic Fails) are just around the corner.3. My ROFLcopter without me is useless. I must fly my ROFLcopter better than any other pig.ROFLcopters are so awesome that aeronautical engineers will shake their heads in awe then stomp out of the room (we think in extreme jealousy) at the mere sight of your ROFLcopter. Like this actually functional V-22 Osprey replica - not a single human being understands how it works!The point of posting a ROFLcopter on the internet is knowing no one else could possibly fly such a contraption as well as you do, because you neglected to provide any documentation on how to execute any single flight activity without the whole thing crashing and burning like all it wants to do is make you into bacon.Seriously, just turning on all the engines on the thing is not guaranteed to work. There are components and sub-assemblies configured to only work in certain specialized applications and not to be touched outside said specialized parameters!Check out the sheer complexity of piloting USS Chris P. Bacon, the Bacon Chair Force's ROFLcopter exploration ship! (Note: Video has no sound as King Pig ate the sound reel.)Because only you can fly your ROFLcopter, it is an exclusive machine and you are awesome.4. All ROFLcopters are equally awesome!Many denizens of Piggy Island think we in the Pigineering department run around the town at odd hours oinking and squealing forth, "My ROFLcopter is better than yours!" That's not true. No ROFLcopter is better than another.All ROFLcopters are created equal, being products of a fertile imagination and the usual need to escape from Angry Bird attack by any means possible. Everyone on Piggy Island is allowed to own and fly personal ROFLcopters, because King Pig never thought to bother complying with FAA regulations. He's way too lazy for that.It is quite senseless to have a ROFLcopter building contest and "compete" in building ridiculous aircraft. ROFLcopters being unique instruments of personal awesomeness must be enjoyed as they are, because you built it with your own awesomeness and none shall contest your level of personal awesome.Like this cargo ROFLcopter air-dropping a vehicle. It's like a C-130 Hercules, only pigger!But enough with these ridiculous terms and conditions of ROFLcoptering; let's enjoy freedom of creative expression here on ABN and build more incredible machines!

Truck Yeah! – Bad Piggies Weekend Challenge
Trucks (or lorries, if you prefer) are crucial haulers of bulk materiel in the real world. With Piggy Island's ongoing rapid modernization, we suggested Rovio to do a Weekend Challenge topic on trucks (Facebook link). That's what we're doing right now!I suggested this particular topic for an important reason: accessibility and flexibility. This is a wonderfully easy topic that everyone can jump into, as there are literally thousands of ways to assemble a truck in Bad Piggies. From classic American big rigs to hi tech Euro cab-overs, anything is possible.In this video below I demonstrate operating different types of trucks/lorries to demonstrate the versatility of the Bad Piggies sandbox game mode.Engineer's Notes:In the video there's a a box truck with a functional suspension system at the end. Functional suspension in Bad Piggies had been a personal curiosity for me for some time because it is not possible to easily construct a suspension assembly in Bad Piggies without taking a lot of space. You have to be familiar with spring rates and bending moments to be able to devise a system of shock absorption. Better yet, utilize bending parts like rudimentary torsion bar suspension!The term "truck" in automotive parlance is not just restricted to bulk commercial haulers. You can design some cool large pickups (popular in the USA) or even off-road performance vehicles like the Ford Raptor.

Bad Piggies Robotic Farm
Far in the untouched wilderness there lay a valley filled with animals so huge that the ground shook with every move.Huge hooves churn pastures into soggy mush while gargantuan chickens topple trees like a Rovio re-imagining of a Kaiju film. Some say it's like Pacific Rim, only pigger!Welcome to the Bad Piggies Mechanical Farm, where inert blocks of wood and metal are transformed into passably functional robotic replicas of farm animals commonly seen on Earth and sometimes beyond...The existence of this farm is known only to a select few Bad Piggies players who somehow manage to create bio-mechanical replicas in what is really meant to be a simplistic physics exercise. Others, throwing computer mice (soon caught by a mechanical cat) at monitor screens in frustration, declare this must be a form of sorcery.Whatever the case, it sure gives a whole new meaning to that famous piggy nursery rhyme that starts off with "Old McKing Pig had a farm..."

Breaking News! King Pig steals egg.
The King Pig has devised an evil contraption that swoops upon unsuspecting Angry Birds' Nests and lift away out of slingshot range in mere seconds!Birds living in the vicinity of Piggy Island (and offshore territories) are cautioned to look out for flying pigs in wacky "ROFLcopters" which while typically prone to spontaneous disintegration, are seemingly getting more advanced by the day.In other news, King Pig was the esteemed guest of honor in the non-existent Piggy Island Economic Forum. He managed to anger several million fans of Angry Birds in mere moments.

Weekend Challenge: We Built Flying Cars Instead!
Previously this month we were advised not to pick a Weekend Challenge theme that involved building objects that could have potential to cause deliberate harm (i.e. military equipment) so we were very surprised when the subject of Cannons was last weekend's topic on the Official Bad Piggies Facebook page.Suffice to say, we skipped it for something more peaceful and happened to revive a quite old topic that never quite took flight: the Flying Car.Flying Cars had been promised to humanity as the next generation of personal transport for a long time, but for various reasons, this supposed mobility revolution in the new millennium has not occurred. Cue massive discontent and furious calls to Google for answers...Just kidding - check out this writeup from Popular Mechanics to see why combining a plane and a car isn't as practical as it sounds.Meanwhile, on Piggy Island, automotive and aerospace pigineers have set aside their differences in lard and protein composition to come up with some radical new pig-mobility solutions. Depending on how you want your flying car to look like (and how conscious of you towards topics such as "pedestrian safety") there are numerous ways to design a Bad Piggies Flying Car. Let's scroll through and have a look at some of the aero-mobile concepts based on their historical counterparts on Earth: -1) The "Roadable Aircraft"Roadable Aircraft, are, as the name implies, are aircraft that can be converted to drive on the road like a car, after removing or folding away their flying bits. An example of a Roadable Aircraft is the Curtiss Autoplane of 1917, which is regarded as many to be the humans' first attempt at building a flying car.Today, the sleek Terrafugia Transition is a modern example of a Roadable Aircraft.In Bad Piggies, you can create a Roadable Aircraft by starting the contraption fully dolled up as an aircraft, and then jettison the flight engines (if any), propellers and wing assemblies upon landing. The challenge is to drive away without being snagged in the ensuing disintegrating mess!2) The Sky CarIf you're thinking this idea by name bears some similarity to the work of Dr. Moller, you're correct. Moller International has been working on a variety of innovative Flying Cars for many decades, and Moller vehicles tend to integrate their flight components into a compact package. Instead of depending solely on aerodynamic lift, the Moller M400 Skycar uses eight Mazda Rotary engines for vertical thrust. The use of lift engines and stub wings means the Skycar is compact and futuristic in appearance.In Bad Piggies, it is very easy to construct a compact car-like vehicle that lofts itself into the air on multiple lift fans (or even balloons if you're on a budget). Use basic aero parts like aeroplane tails to add stability.But since pigs are lazy and just wanted to eat and sleep we forgot all about "compactness" and just added airplane wings to a box truck! Freedom!![Bad Piggies Flying Truck]()
3) The "Flying Saucer"The Flying Saucer may not look like a car at all, but historically small flying saucer designs were indeed termed Flying Cars. I'm not sure who would call a flying saucer a car. Aliens, maybe? Or King Pig having too much to eat and needing anti-gravity drives to bring him back to his mountain retreat?![Bad Piggies Flying Saucer]()
In any case, the US Military's VZ-9 Avrocar projects and the Moller M200G Volantor are both saucer-type "Flying Cars". Notice their lift fan propulsion and inherent 25th Century awesomeness!4) Come up with your own design logic! Some of you don't get that I enjoy looking at pictures of historical machines and think up ways and means to pigitize it in to the game (it's just like digitizing, only pigger!). In that case, you're also perfectly welcome to redefine the scope and scale of bacon engineering by creating something so truly out of this world that no one shall question your personal pig-infused greatness for all eternity.Something like this engineless car from some time ago. Look ma, it flies, without engines! Who said we were Big Polluters?
See if you can keep up, U-Haul!
The King Pig is so Fat, we needed UFO technology to loft his incredible pork!

My Computer Blew Up, and Piggies Went to the Playground
Just earlier this week my computer decided to walk the path of Epig Failure (It's like Epic Fail, only pigger) and blew itself and several years of flying pig excellence to smithereens.Undaunted in their eternal quest to find fun and games, the indomitable piggies decided to do something they have never done in decades, which is, go outside and play! To their dismay, they found the local playgrounds derelict and freaky to hang out in. The playgrounds on Piggy Island were never maintained for years because many young piglets these days prefer to sit in the dark and stare at brightly glowing iPork screens all day, silently absorbing information from cyberspace like so many dormant robotic drones. **** Based on a true story in 21st Century Earth.But just when eternal boredom was about to overcome the land, there appeared a hero from a faraway land named Sandeep (@sandeep-kamath) who did the unthinkable and BUILT A SWING IN BAD PIGGIES! Check it out on Facebook! For many years, pigineers have been constructing cutting-edge military and space hardware but never thought to build anything for the local community. I blame that on long working hours and going home just to eat and sleep! But thankfully, we have awesome Bad Piggies fans like Sandeep to fill in the gap.On that note, guess what today's weekend build topic is. That's right, you got it. Swings come in all shapes and sizes, from the normal variety to insane V-8 powered flying monstrosities to satisfy even the most devout follower of the Church of Horsepower.And speaking of fans, I had this idea to attach many, many ceiling fans to a vaguely roflcopter-shaped contraption and give the King Pig the ride of his life! He's sure to shed a few pounds with the thrills and spills of air fright! Who needs aviation safety anyway?
THIS IS PIGGY ISLAND! (insert relevant Spartan movie imagery here)
Check out the above pork-tacular display of Epig Failure and go build your own hopefully smaller and safer swing! Don't forget to send them to the official Bad Piggies Facebook and Twitter pages for a chance to be featured in the limelight next week! You'll never know what King Pig will reward you with!This week's build theme was brought to you by Sandeep (@sandeep-kamath). The rest of you pig fans, come on out and post ideas for next week's community construction project!↧
Bad Piggies: Reinventing the Wheel
Here at the Pork Gear Technology Centre (It's just like Top Gear, only pigger - says me), we remain at the cutting edge of bacon transport technology thanks to our relentless pursuit of perfection in the arts of "epig failure". If you're not too distracted by the aroma of pig on the grill, try to figure out how many automotive references there are in this piglet-sized paragraph!Recently, the topic of road trips came up in the Pigineering Crews and like the Bad Piggy I am, I wondered what would happen if you went on a 12 hour road trip and then a tyre blew. As luck would have it, this is one of them complacently-engineered (not by us) vehicles with no spare tyre and just a can of Fix-A-Flat in the trunk... that obviously doesn't work on a rubber donut that decided "tire tread delamination" or "explosive sidewall failure" was an appropriate way of giving notice of immediate resignation. How rude. Tires these days are just like the piggies. Bad.So you have a piggy car with a failed wheel in the middle of nowhere, Angry Birds closing in and setting up slingshots and you have NO SPARE TIRE. What do you do? Panic and run around screaming? No way, that's not the Pigineering way! You have to become a Creative Piglet and re-invent the wheel!Who needs spare tyres if you can do away with some of the wheels completely in a car-sized rendition of Chris P. Bacon - Pig on Wheels? Better yet, make use of that very large, fat and round King Pig as a wheel, and while you're at it, use the lazy Royal Fatness as a form of engine!![King Pig is an Engine]()
It's all completely plausible and realistic so don't sic the Mythbusters (or Angry Birds) on us, for we have the video evidence right here!
How can King Pig become an engine? How much Porque and Pigpower does he produce at 10 oinks per minute? Watch the video below!

The Great BBQ Weekend Challenge!
Attention all Bad Piggies! Your mission this week, should you choose to accept it, is to build a BBQ! Check out the Official Pigs' post on Facebook and the community-built grills to date! Some are small, some are expensive, others look like an industrial-sized furnace!This is something no pig has done before (exception of the evil Chef Pig of course!) for fear of being turned into crispy bacon, but for the good of all pig-kind, you must gird your ham and conquer your greatest fears in order to enjoy BBQ heaven! Come on piggies, no pain, no eggs, got that!?![Bad Piggies Teppanyaki]()
Building dining rooms and kitchen equipment is not difficult at all in Bad Piggies. I made this teppanyaki style table grill and chair set some weeks back. All you need is some creativity to distinguish the cooking surface from seating areas unless your intention is to create some gigantic Pork Casserole!For the fiery stuff under the stove/BBQ/grill/whatever cooking implement you fancy, just point some rockets downwards and click them individually so they don't all go off at once and turn all your food into a blackened inedible mess...![Bad Piggies Pork Casserole]()
Finally, as with all Weekend Challenge projects, it's even better if you can create a story to go along with your wacky piggy creation, such as King Pig here being an Army Cook for a day - you know, for morale purposes!Maximum military movie pun intended in the below video. Madness, you say? This is Piggy Island!
I love the smell of omelette in the morning!
This is a huge Pork Casserole, because why not? It's delicious!

Bad Piggies Weekend Challenge – Build a clock!
Attention Creative Piglets!Your mission this week(end), should you choose to accept it, has never been done before in the history of Piggy Island! Build a clock for King Pig's palace grounds! You heard the foreman pig, a CLOCK! (Click here to see the community contributions so far on Facepork!)Worry not, this message will not self destruct in ten seconds due to the rudimentary nature of Bad Piggies chronometers. Before this Weekend Challenge, we probably told the time with sundials or something!![Bad Piggies Weekend Challenge - Build a Clock]()
Rizal surprised me today with his ingenious "analog" clock design that utilized a system of mid-air rotation not unlike Operation: Air Fright a few weeks ago. The sheer size of his flying clock is astounding. It's so big it probably is visible from space or something. How's that for time zone standardization?![Bad Piggies Weekend Challenge - Build a Clock]()
Confronted with the prospect of handling very large and complicated bits of analog technology (along with the dreaded vacuum tubes) I decided to take some inspiration from the stuff laying around the bedroom and built a digital clock! And then another and another, because the digits are manually updated by reassembling the parts in the display! Wow, much amaze, so epig fail...![Bad Piggies Weekend Challenge - Build a Clock]()

King Pig’s Roller Skates!
It's like the Emperor's New Clothes, only Pigger!King Pig was seen rolling along the Field of Dreams on his way to the Piggy Palace this morning on what seems to be a pair of diesel-engined winged shoes roller skates!As gossip of the awesome new pork-pulsion system spread like wildfire, the minion pigs formerly employed to carry The Royal Fatness His Majesty Smooth Cheeks the Super Sized Lazy Overlord around in the Angry Birds Toons episode "Sneezy Does It" are furious over being retrenched and have staged a protest against Piggy Island's rapid modernization. ** Based on true events in the Victorian Age, where discontented farmhands, made redundant by the introduction of farm machinery, plotted to destroy the infernal contraptions that made them unemployed. What ever happened to "Keep Calm & Drink Tea"?In response, His Most Witty Majesty replied with a catchy one-liner that is sure to become an internet meme (once Pigineering invents the Internet on Piggy Island):"They see me rollin', they hatin'."The King Pig then ordered the Corporal Pig to "Let Them Eat Cake" then retired to continue with his 23rd meal in the day.
King Pig is too busy eating, so we decided to go Vive la Porc Révolution! OMG, it's a Coup d'Bacon Tart!
