Imagine if emotions could be consumed like drugs. When you see the Filth Pig, you don’t actually SEE the Filth Pig. The Filth Pig sees you. And when the Filth Pig gets a taste . . . WATCH OUT! The Filth Pig’s not addicted . . . no, his life depends on the sweet nectar of human feelings. Happiness, joy, dreams and . . . there’s something certain people possess that’s so powerful the Filth Pig will ruin anyone to get it. How do you fight the Filth Pig? Well, most people can’t fight him. They’re helpless under his spell before they realize what’s happening. The Filth Pig comes off as a chill beach bum, a certified cool dude. But something sinister lurks behind his chipping veneer. How do you spot the Filth Pig? You don’t. Not until the Filth Pig spots you. That doesn’t matter, though. By then it’s too late. He’ll look into your vacant eyes and tip back a bottle of joy while basking in your sweetest dreams. He’ll smile as you wither away. All hail THE PHILTH PIG!
