Pigotry
I’ve noticed something. If you took a quick inventory of the most revolting American foods, almost certainly, Deep Fried Pork Rinds would be near the top of the list. And if this offends you and you actually eat these things, you have apparently stumbled upon this blog haphazardly. If this is the case, please stop reading immediately, click here, and be entertained for hours.
While attempting to imagine a scenario in which people would be consuming fat-fried pig fat, the first thing that came to mind was a living room of guys gathered in front of a large TV screen watching football. I thought it ironic for the following reasons:
- This is a demographic of men often referred to as “pigs”.
- When one plays football one “sweats like a pig”.
- If it rains on the game, it turns into a pile of players wallowing atop one another in the mud, perhaps, not completely unlike a herd of pigs.
- The entire friggin’ game revolves around a ball made of what? PIGSKIN!!
It’s over the top isn’t it? It’s just way too much pig! It’s like Americans want to be just one pig happy family. Settle down folks. Of all the creatures in the animal kingdom why be so closely associated in so many different ways, with swine? They are the animals that will eat ANY-THING! Is this fixation a poetic justice; like some kind of unconscious American confession of a gluttonous life-style? We’ve gone hog wild with pigotry. What is the obsession? Can someone please help me?

I didn't understand anything about this post. Who are you? What is your fascination with pigs? Obviously you don't know how good they taste when they're all salted up and deep fried. Them's some good eatin!
And don't make fun of football. It's a part of the good ol' USofA (just like cowboys, country music and pies...big pies covered in ice cream...mmm...)
Ahhhhh.... Pork rinds!
THIS is America at it's BEST!!!!
Think about it this way: We are utilizing the ENTIRE pig! People eat the ribs, the feet, the ankles (hocks), the intestines (chitterlings) the snout and head parts (head cheese), all the " choice cuts" (chops, tenderloin, etc), and finally the skin, (rinds)! In fact, the term "rinds" is describing the pig as a melon! we're just making the most of a great big mud wallowing, swill eating vegetable! waste not, want not..... What's wrong with that??????!!!!!!!!!!!
