Wow what a pig! is something you will probably never hear at a beauty contest, unless you are at the pig beauty pageant held in Guanshan Village in China. That's right: in the Guangdong province, an annual display of pork pageantry has taken place for years.
Word is that thousands of tourists make their way to the see the sexy swine on display. Thankfully there is no swimsuit portion of the evening, and since the pigs are dead and stuffed, there is no talent competition either.
And how is this for a prize? After the prettiest piggy is selected, the contestants are sliced up and eaten.
