Lipstick on a pig

Am I the only person who, in the last week, thought of the phrase “Lipstick on a pig?”

I appreciate all of the effort. A lot of people worked extremely hard, and on the whole it was a very impressive show.

But at the end, after all of that, the main reveal produced — exactly what you would expect.

To be fair, you’ve got to have a certain respect for the pig. A pig knows what it is. It is completely itself, and always remains true to its own identity.

So however much fanfare precedes its appearance, a pig will proceed to act exactly like a pig.

No matter how much lipstick you put on it.
