Court Rules Breadpig Band Isn’t Actually Making Music (WTF?)
This shit just got serious. Now the DOJ wants a piece of breadpig. If you’re not familiar with the breadpig band, educate yourself and return to this post – we won’t hold it against you.
A breadpig ally at Harmonix (they make our instruments) named Matt kindly brought this to our attention in …

The Wee Kitteh Named Breadpig
Behold, breadpig the cat! The first of his kind (as far as we know).
We must apologize for some shoddy reporting. The cat the SF/SPCA renamed “Breadpig” is in fact male. Nonetheless, he shouldn’t have any trouble finding a home.He is either the life of the party or the laziest one in …
You Can’t Ask For Better Brand Association Than This, Or Can You?
Apparently there is more than one “breadpig” on the Internet. This fact is both weird and awesome at the same time. In this case, mostly weird, as the words around breadpig that would normally provide context clues and some understanding, actually bewilder. Good luck, breadpig, whoever you are…discovered on “DumB DumB’s …

Autobots Heart LOLmagnetz
LOLmagnetz recently made some more appearances.
Bordom.net deigned the kit worthy of combating boredom. That’s when you know you’ve arrived, when you’re on a site that’s dropped the “e” Flickr-style for maximum Web 2.0-ness.
But the coolest appearance to date was on a Transformers forum. No word yet on whether or not it’s a …

Breadpig Hath A Nemesis, Its Name Is Moonpig
This turned up in the breadpig snail mailbox recently. I wasn’t going to publicize it and let the terrorists win, but Chris (maker of LOLmagnetz.com) persuaded me otherwise.
It seemed innocuous enough, except for those threatening ellipses in the turn address field…
And the “supposedly” (wtf?).
Inside was a greeting card. I didn’t care for …

Pigs Are Making A Comeback In A Big Way
Yet another LOLmagnetz review came my way last night, this time from technabob. But what really needs to be brought to your attention is this article discovered by a devoted member of the breadpig army: Gloucester bristles as feral porkers run amok.
Not only is that one of the best headlines ever, it’s an …

A Breadpig Imposter — Moonpig? It Doesn’t Even Have Moons For Wings
A redditor and breadpig supporter, alerted me to this. Apparently someone across the pond has bastardized breadpig and created a “moonpig” to front a greeting card website (read: not unHolidayCards). Here’s an ad they’re currently running on televisions across the UK.
If any of you have more information regarding this abomination, please let …

VH1, The Breadpig Is Not Impressed
I’ve only recently been alerted to this VH1 breadpig-clone called “Rock Band Band.”
This displeases the breadpig, although it’s flattered by the imitation.

Breadpig Snubbed From Rock Band Wii Commercial
Where’s the justice? The band featured in this video opened for us, like, three years ago. And they still cower in the shadow of the mighty breadpig. Don’t be fooled, if it weren’t for a lingering contract issue we had, it’d be Brian Femiano rocking out on the guitar solo.

A Movie I’m Not Going To See: Guitar Hero II
Paramount canned my screenplay for Breadpig: The Movie for this? I’m appalled. Hollywood has no taste — true art is never appreciated during its time anyway.

Another Breadpig? Imposter!
This supposed “breadpig” doesn’t have bread wings, nor is it a pig, but it does have a blog.
I found this false breadpig through a foodie blog from a blogger in Singapore.
The “lady iron chef” has some fancy food photos, and makes this disingenuous claim:The Bread Pig Journey
You are always welcome at ladyironchef. Whatever written …

Guy Hacks His Guitar Hero Guitar To Play Through His Computer — Breadpig Remains Unplugged
Maybe it’s tradition. Maybe it’s our commitment to keeping the music authentic. Whatever it is, we’re never going to abandon acoustic like Bob Dylan and these sellouts. They’re called the Guitar Zeros and maybe we can still find room on our tour for them to open…

Coheed And Cambria Good Enough For Rock Band, Why Isn’t Breadpig?
Thanks to some help from Coheed And Cambria, G4 proves that mastering drums on expert in Rock Band actually prepares you for a life as a real drummer. But for all of their success, Coheed And Cambria still isn’t breadpig.
We’re talking with the folks behind Rock Band about getting some of our …

CollegeHumor Can’t Comprehend Breadpig’s Unique Sound
After submitting our first video to CollegeHumor, we’d hoped it’d be selected for public showing. In what we can only assume is an anti-breadpig bias, it was limited to “Local” viewing, which basically equates to premiering the Beatles Tonight Show appearance on the local public access channel. It’s not the first resistance …
