Surely someone had catapulted a pig before this

can you just build them a ramp?
They can also just... Look up
Wow, I was lied to by a meme. /s
I actually googled this a while back and IIRC they can also roll around or just tilt their body as well.

This was by far and large the best throwaway gag that I'm sure many people missed in "Children of Men". There's a shot near the beginning in the dystopian city and there's a pig shaped balloon floating in the sky. I'm not sure how many people caught it when the saw the movie.

Nope its in CoM I'd need to watch it again.
Nope its in CoM
Yes, the reference is at exactly 17:40 in the movie.
No i said pigS. One doesn't count
His poor ears...
What a time to be alive.
He’s doing it.
WHO SAID THAT?!
I'm not convinced the pig is actually operating that airplane.
“This is unnatural.” - That Pig, probably.
One small step for ham...
One giant leap for porkkind
Dear God I think this picture is as old as the internet.
