Truth in Advertising? The intersection of Bourke Street and Swanston Walk in Melbourne, Australia, has been dominated for the past few months by a gigantic advertisement for Windows 95. Many regard it as an eyesore but, amidst all the hype, it just could be one of the more-accurate Microsoft ads. Right in front of the advertisement is a sculpture of a flying pig! The pig-with-wings is one of four sculptures in the "Weathervane" series by Melbourne sculptor, Daniel Jenkins. It represents "hope for the future" but Jenkins admits it might be a forlorn hope of the "I'll believe it when I see it" variety. So you can interpret the accidental juxtaposition however you wish - "if Windows 95 is a real operating system then pigs might fly" or "a pig of an operating system CAN fly as long as it has at least 16 MBytes of RAM and a 100 MHz Pentium" and so on ...
