Pigasus the Immortal

“The nomination of the boar hog Pigasus for President of the United States by the Yippies had been the most transcendentally lucid political act of the twentieth century...” (Robert Anton Wilson, The Illuminatus! Trilogy)

At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968, the Yippies (Youth International Party) nominated a pig for president, with the campaign pledge: “They nominate a president and he eats the people. We nominate a president and the people eat him”. This porcine political maneuver was the brainchild of sixties activists Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. (aqui)
