Meet Bernardo Santarelli (AKA Noisy Pig: http://www.myspace.com/noisypig). He is a DJ and performer from Italy. Bernardo studied in Rome at the Academy of Fine Arts, but he says that it sucks there. Check him out on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/noisypigpig.

Can’t Stop Online inquires about the etymology of his chosen title. He tells them that it simply conveys his “passion for pigs,” and is something which has stuck ever since his radio show DJ days in Italy. He isn’t really into bacon though, being a vegetarian.

“Get your snout in this. Shove every single square in your face right now. And do it quick. Or some other fat pig might ask you for a piece. Oink, oink!”

According to BrandCurve “the brand name and packaging imagery goes against everything one would expect from a chocolate product. Rather than making a chocolate indulgence sound like something fun or special, Fat Pig Chocolate cuts to the chase.”

Oinkganic milk chocolate gets rave reviews from Contagious Magazine and The Chocolate Nerd and all over the blogoshpere.

Maybe this will make more people realize how ridiculous it is to call yourself a fat pig. For eating a bit of chocolate. Or anything else.

Fat Pig Chocolate was designed by NY based creative hotshop The Brooklyn Brothers according to dsd.

According to Alldaybuffet and a recent Adweek article, the Brooklyn Brothers spent a “a year of tasting organic and non-organic chocolates. After consuming countless bites of chocolate, a consensus began to form around a flavor everyone could agree on.”

I agree…

So everybody repeat after me:

We wanna know!

What makes the pig go?!

Some think pigs are so intelligent it’s their competitive spirit which drives them.

Others think pigs do it for fun. And healthy lifestyle.

What do you think? Check gallery below:

“The Royal Adelaide Show is South Australia’s biggest annual event run by the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia. Experiences run the whole gamut from carnival rides, exhibitions and attractions to exquisite handicraft, cookery and wide variety of champion livestock and animals. It is at the Show that rural South Australia and City business alike can showcase their best produce, wares and services.

The Royal Adelaide Show is the ‘people’s event’ and truly offers something for everyone, such as food and wine tastings; entertainment with bands, dancing, comedy acrobatic; exhibitions and displays; fashion parades; competitions; animals (livestock and pets); farmyard nursery and animal petting area.”
