Running of the Pigs

Chuck Zimmerman

In case you didn’t see the Smokey Bones “Running of the Pigs” video I thought I’d share. This is a great April Fool’s gimmick.

Here’s some of the press release that was actually used by some in the media.

The streets of Orlando were filled today with “oinks” and squeals and screams of terror when more than 100 pigs rampaged after an estimated 500 people during the inaugural Smokey Bones Running of the Pigs. In an event that was no less exhilarating than the famous Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, pigs and people barreled through a quarter-mile course lined with curious and somewhat horrified onlookers. Amateur video of the event was captured by one spectator, who later uploaded the footage to YouTube. The event commemorated the introduction of Smokey Bones’ All-You-Can-Eat Baby Back Ribs special.
