    i think it's half man, half bear-pig!
  • WhiteRabbit · 1 year ago
    Not only is there a Second Life reference, but there is also a Half-Life one, as well: Dr. Eli Vance. I think it would have given it away, though, if he said something about Black Mesa in the article.

    It's pretty clearly a joke. On maany levels. If you can't tell, clearly, then you need to contact Dr. Kno about a transcranial multifection on your NIARB cavity due to a pseudo-pregnancy invested in your fertility closet.

  • A Great Joke · 1 year ago
    Man...The best joke ever regarding that art work. You took an artwork representing the fear of genetic engineering, made people think it was real (some stupid people) and thus afraid of said engineering, and you incorporated one of the best jokes from one of the best shows in the word in an incredible apt reference!

    Well played, chap.

  • Gusto · 1 year ago
    Holy wow nice WTF well I know they are really doing this experiments but seriously i dont think a chimera of any type will have a proper life span. but why try it with such big mammals why not try just on humans and insects We all know mammals are very similar... Human and a pig are very similar in their anatomy funny huh. i dont know about the bear since he's so much bigger than US but..... ok ok i meant to say this since the beggining . EWWWWwwww!!!!!!!!

    Half man... Half bear... Half pig... 150% pain!


    MANBEARPIG!
  • Zac · 1 year ago
    If anything, this thing is half Pig, half manbear. The body shape is too similiar to that of a pig to be a full 50% bear, therefor it is a half pig, half manbear, Manbearpig.
    The parody one we saw on southpark was more half bear, half pigman (It was upright, and the full left body was bear)

    Now all that is left is a half man, half bearpig... SOMEONE, GET ON IT QUICK!
  • fredric · 1 year ago
    HOW CAN ANYONE BELIVE THIS OBVIOUSE HOAX MADE ON PHOTOSHOP.

    For anyone ridiculous enough to think this is real, it doesn't look anything like a real manbearpig, as can clearly be seen by looking at a representation of a *real* manbearpig: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b322/Desleade...

    Well in End game humans are DEVOLVED to serve elite masters. People do realize pig and human genome are quite similar. That is why human heart valves are porcine derived so is some insulin proteins. So this is a trial balloon to guage public sentiment and reaction. So thanks for accepting that this could be done. Then it will be said that this old NEWS when and if it comes to fruition.

    Why must you guys turn animals into a pig/bear/human? Its against human nature? And what good comes out of it? Its cruel..What if they turn evil or something? And take over the world. I'm sure there's a reason why pigs are pigs and humans are humans..have you spared a thought for the animals. Using them as TEST which could turn out terrible causing thier death, next you wil be usinq humans! And you people used a PREGNANT PIG. Not only placing the pigs life in danger but those little poor baby pigs too? they were born mutants? CRUEL. If your pregannt one day would you want people to do this to you? If you feels its ok dhens use the experiment on YOURSELVES. You guys know there might be danger thats why you din't try it on yourselve! I'm VERY against this!
  • jennifer_W · 2 weeks ago
    IS THIS FOR REAL? Did some one really create a mutation of a human a bear and a pig? The creature in the picture looks so sad, ashamed, embarassed; It obviously has human intelligence yet trapped in a mutated animal body. What idiot would do such a thing to a human?

    You people are sick. How could you do that to an animal, let alone human???? I look at that brown looking thing (I don't know what you call it) and pity it. I also hate with a passion those who would do that to something so innocent. There are plently other science related things that are actually beneficial to us and help society more then messing with things that shouldn't be messed with (like creating some human bear pig thing).
