So a small dispute arose in Katy, Texas (not Houston). A muslim group wanted to build a community center on property they bought. They asked a guy if he could move the cattle he'd had grazing on that land to move it. He thought they'd asked
him to move. Guy got pissed off. So he started holding pig races on his farm on Fridays to irritate the Muslims. Muslims said "we don't really care. We just don't
eat pigs. Racing them isn't going to bother us."
Story embarrassingly (for those of us who live near Katy, Texas) hits the national press.
With something like this, sooner or later, the Daily Show gets wind and has fun. They were here a few days ago, shooting footage of the pig races (complete with sausage on a stick).
According
to the Houston Press, the guy is fairly optimistic that he'll come out looking Ok.
Quote:
Baker says he knows what The Daily Show is all about, but -- somehow -- he thinks he won't be made to look a fool in the report.
Correspondent Rob Riggle, he says, "came out and had a blast. I don't know how it's going to come off, but Rob had a great time. He was quite hilarious because he was standing out here and messing with -- because the Muslims had a service that day, and he was standing out there on the corner shaking his fist at them back. It was hilarious...He was like, 'Hey man, are they trying to flip me off? Hey motherfucker!' I was like, 'Whoa.'"
