Its boorish "players" love to squeal, roll in the hay and dig up the dirt. Orwell's "Animal Farm" meets "Voyeur Dorm" with a dash of swine "Real World" for "Pig Brother." A British farmer has set up Webcams all over the sty so you can observe the lives of his five young boars and sows. You could say he has put the "live" in "livestock." No privacy here -- you get to see it all. (Just be glad you can't smell it all.) Sounds silly, but the site's profits go to support farmers affected by the foot-and-mouth outbreak in England and Wales. O Pig Brother, where art thou? Click over to http://www.pigbrother.co.uk/.
