Cows, Pigs, a prank, oh my!
A Vermont cow, with pig spots
It’s a prank to rival any other–several years ago, an inmate working at the Vermont state prison print shop in St. Albans modified a decal used on Vermont state police cars. The decal features a pastoral scene with a dairy cow. The cow is brown with yellow spots. Most of the spots are amorphous blobs…except for one in the top lefthand corner, which is shaped like a pig.
The pig image, writes the Burlington Free Press, harks back to “the infamous ’60s-era epithet by protesters for police officers.”
Nobody noticed the pig-shaped spot for awhile, and state police estimate the decal is sported by some 30 cruisers.
“This is not as offensive as it would have been years ago. We can see the humor,” Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn told the Free Press.

Good joke but I bet the hog farmers would have appreciated it if Vermont would give them some recognition too.
What’s the mushroom-y thing that the cow is staring at?
@Josh: I believe you’ll find that it’s Kenny from South Park.
Actually it’s looking more like ET
I like the fact that the authorities see the humor, good for them.
I want that cow!
