Peppa Pig is also a popular children's cartoon series in the UK.

Ha, yes. I'm an ex-pat in America and my first thought was "some tie-in for that show that the bloke from the Chris Moyles show is in".

I'm fairly certain that's the pun.

It's played in America as well, on Nick or Nick Jr I'm pretty sure.

Is this even aimed at people outside of India? The currencies are listed in rupees only.

I think 'pig' comes from 'male chauvinistic pigs', doesn't it?

Absolutely- and I'm sure that is the intention in this case. However, if they want to solicit donations from the US (they might not care) there is the potential for confusion.

First off, great cause. However, these kinds if guys give pigs (the animal) a bad name.

Personally, I like pigs (the animal). I don't eat them because of that. Maybe try a different name.

Me too, but to be fair, it becomes clear what this is about pretty easily. And perhaps the provocative confusion of the name causes more people to click through out of curiousity
