Coachella: Roger Waters' Pig is either for or against Obama
The message of Pink Floyd's dirigible pig, one of greed, corruption, and other not beautiful things, would spoil any name written on it considering the symbolic nature of such a tainted canvas. On the other hand, big, bold army stencil lettering spelling O-B-A-M-A, with strategic underbelly placement for clear viewing seems like an act of campaigning with exact target specificity considering 50,000 (?) people could see it. Don't ever say Mr. Roger Waters has issues with communicating or he'll go The Wall on your ass.
Begs the question, was it a pro or anti Obama statement? Finally, if it was pro, how is this supposed to be helpful?
I'm just now hearing the pig floated away. Hmmm.

They are offering a reward for the return of the pig that accidentally flew away. Also they apparently (they being the Waters crew and not Coachella) dropped confetti that read Vote Obama...that clears up if this is FOR or AGAINST Obama. The confetti was spread for miles (what a mess!) and residents in Indio are pissed. I would be too. Nothing like a good toilet papering of the lawn to get the blood boiling.
