I sent a picture to Snopes Urban Legend Website for help in finding out the source of the picture and today they did a post on it!

The human-like sow and her offspring are a sculpture entitled The Young Family by artist/sculptor Patricia Paccinini, shown as part of her We Are Family exhibition in 2003.

^wow... that is a little creepy! Those boys look so old!
Exactly.
Wasted their lives away standing around playing handheld consoles.

No doubt they have some good thumb reflexes. 
Thats why I like it, there is a message behind it, obvious as it is, you still have to look for it in some way. Like the pig/human thing, we know that may be coming in the future.
That is some very scary art work.... 
Why is it scary?
Suddenly my bacon sandwich just lost its appeal 
Shoot, this is the third thread I've tried to click on links and they won't come up.
try right clicking then opening in a new window.
That won't work either. It just does nothing.
That's strange Michelle.

I can see why people would find them disturbing -- too real.
I personally find them rather beautiful.
I love this one: Another Sculpture
I like them too, they look so real. It must have taken some time to make them. the first time I see one, it was kind if weird, but I like them now.

They wouldn't cruel, they'd walk upright. And they'd make these kind of noises...like 'A---rooooooooooooooooooooogaaaaaaaa'....
This persons art is creepy yet way cool.

You missed the point, I reckon.
Blind date and it turns out to be a hybrid...fancy that.Ok, hybrid with long hair.
Crazy artists and they're drugs.

They look very realistic. That Patricia Perenni's got SOME talent.

Oh I know! I love them, for their reality and the amazing talent too.
Hmm now that I look back at the human/pig piece of art, I think it looks more like a dog/human hybrid than a pig one...
Then how do you explain the snout?
This how I explain it, Walken...with visual aid! w00t! Also, the ears are super long and the tails on the babies dont remind me of pig tails.
