A Little Something for the Kids

Surely most of you have seen the charming and touching 1995 movie "Babe," the tale of the little piglet that could. Now, from Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat comes this web-based, Flash masterpiece:

Life of Onni

Each Christmas 300 000 pigs end up as hams on the Christmas table in Finland. Onni was one of the pigs that were eaten last year. Helsingin Sanomat Online followed Onni’s life all the way from insemination to the slaughterhouse.

That's right, kids, a Flash animation of a pig's life, from insemination to slaughter.

I think I'll stick with "Babe."

Yes, I have to work to find these things for you. Your gratitude is more than enough reward.
