Oscar Oinker's "unique electronic motion sensor makes [him] oink whenever anyone comes near", with "near" being defined as within the 9-foot activation range. The vendor's website helpfully suggests you might "use him to guard the refrigerator or welcome guests to your home or garden."

I don't know about you, but I can state with certainty that the presence of a motion activated molded polystyrene pig would certainly be effective at deterring me from raiding the refrigerator. I'm less sure about his efficacy as a welcoming committee, unless your purpose is to keep guests away from your home or garden, in which case I imagine he'd do a bang-up job.

Batteries not included, a lack that is surely more than offset by the "cute red and white checkered scarf" that is included.

That's funny. I wonder if it stinks. If I'd invented this thing, I'd make sure that it stunk and crapped all over the place. I just like things to be realistic.

Also, I can't help but not the irony of having a pig guard your fridge. Wouldn't that be like the fox guarding the hen house?

Yep, that's something. Definitely something. But what it is I'm not quite sure. It would make the perfect gift for someone you wanted to confuse.
