COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - The Associated Press protested Wednesday the misleading inclusion of an AP photograph in a pamphlet purporting to show images offensive to Islam.
The picture shows a bearded man wearing fake pig ears, a pig nose, and a pink embroidered cap on his head. He was wearing the costume while participating in a pig-squealing contest at an annual festival in a farm village in southern France last summer.
The AP sent out the photo describing the pig-squealing contest on Aug. 14, 2005. The photo had no connection with Islam or the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad published in a Danish newspaper in September.

Well, its actually looks like a fake dog put on top of a mans body, then fake copy machine noise added to it with photoshop.

On second perusal, you are correct. But it still doesn't belong here.

Faking such a photo?
Or simply going to Google and downloading such a photo?
Occam's Razor.

When pigs hear a Frenchman calling them they should probably run.

Evidently the creators of the pamphlet believe Mohammed looks like this.

Hey that's not all those crazy froggies are doing. I have a friend who lives in a small village outside of Toulouse. Each year at harvest time they have a festival and a series of competitions with the neighboring village. One of the competitions is a pig dressing contest. It is just as it sounds. A team from each village must catch and put clothes on a squealing, slippery pig. First village to present its pig fully dressed wins. Needless to say, there is alcohol involved.
