Excerpts

Celebrity swine
One of the nation’s most watched TV shows is a live relay from a forest glade transmitted via the Internet. The stars are wild pigs. Nothing happens for hours on end and when the obliging swine eventually show up for the food that is left for them, excited Estonians call their family and friends at ungodly hours so that they can watch (and hear) the porcine population pigging out.
