What happens when a pig lands in your yard?
Shredded plastic is all that is left of inflated porker

LA QUINTA - Coachella festival organizers identified the remains of musician Roger Waters' massive, inflatable "capitalist" pig Tuesday at La Quinta's upscale Hideaway Golf Club.

The helium-filled, school-bus-sized pig had unexpectedly escaped the Empire Polo Club field during Waters' set on Sunday. For its recovery, organizers offered a $10,000 reward and four Coachella tickets for life.

"That's definitely our pig," Coachella producer Bill Fold said.

It displayed the words "Don't be led to the slaughter" and a cartoon of Uncle Sam wielding two bloody cleavers. The other side read "Fear builds walls."

The underside of the pig simply read "Obama" with a checked ballot box alongside, referring to U.S. Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
