When pigs flee.

Last week’s announcement by Taiwanese scientists of the successful breeding of fluorescent green pigs, has had unexpected fallout in Hollywood.

One of the movie town’s heavyweights, Miss Piggy, announced in a press release that she and Kermit the Frog had separated, and that she was filing for divorce. The press statement said that Miss Piggy had long believed Kermit of infidelity, and the appearance of the green pigs in Taiwan was the proof her suspicions were correct.

Close friend and confidánte, Link Hogthrob, said that Miss Piggy was so distraught she cancelled all appointments for the coming week. ‘This is the last straw,’ said Hogthrob. ‘Sure, their relationship has had its ups and downs, but the frog’s constant playboy antics have finally worn thin. As far as I’m concerned, he’s nothing but pond scum.'

Close friends of Kermit the Frog had closed ranks around him and were refusing access. When asked for his thoughts on the matter, Kermit's long-time comedy partner Fozzie Bear's only comment was, ‘What can I say? He likes Chinese.’
