Another fine headline

I squealed with amusement when I saw this one.

Gangsta Rap

I wonder which one Dave spends more time on: enhancing photographs, or creating clever titles? BTW, it's a technicality, but I believe this is not a photo of "hog killing". Hopefully that has already happened, and by the time this photo was taken it looks like the pig just came out of the scalder and epilation has commenced. Yes, I've seen pig slaughter and it's not something one forgets. Another BTW - I wonder what structure is making that large rectangular shadow? I want it to be a homemade shot tower, so that's my guess.
