Did a school bus-sized inflatable pig land on your backyard? Did you happen to pick up a giant pink pig with graffiti? Coachella organizers are offering $10,000 and four lifetime passes to anyone who returns their pig. The pig balloon was released during Roger Water's performance on Sunday at the Coachella festival. The pig was covered with graffiti from famous street artist, Slick. The graffiti had slogans that read: "Don't be led to the slaughter," "No Blood for Oil", and even included Obama's name with check box next to it. To collect the bounty, please contact lostpig@coachella.com.
