I'm sure someone would take offense to it being shaped like a pig, or even referred to as a pig, as the implications are still remotely offensive.

Heck, to use the technique of some parents: some starving kid in Africa would love to eat that tofu. We, therefore, should clearly be offended at its waste.

Gas pipelines have little machines crawling inside them for inspection and maintenance purposes. These machines are called pigs.

The LHC is basically a big pipe, so maybe it does have pigs inside it already.
