Lost in the “Big Deal” (especially if you were marketing the vaccines and other associated drugs) surrounding H1N1 was another “big deal” over a little pig. Technically they are called micro pigs and they are the latest must have “arm candy” pet sensation that the still rich and famous celebrities of the world are falling over each other to acquire. Word has it that the little guys literally “flu” off the shelves and there is a world-wide shortage as irate celebrities everywhere are lining up to get theirs. Micro pigs start out as big as a teacup. Two years later the pigs are fully grown – but still only weigh up to 65 pounds and stand at around 14 inches tall. They are clean, sweet, and they love to be around people. David and Victoria Beckham have scooped up two, reportedly at a cost of over $1,200US each.
