I Christen You Spiderpig (Or Maybe Not)

Facebook Promise Was A Hoax

A man who promised to name his second child Spiderpig if enough people joined his Facebook group has admitted it was a hoax. Oli Young set up the group - called "If 100,000 people join, my wife will let me name my second child Spiderpig" - on the social networking site. Members soon rocketed to well above the required number and Mr Young, from Adelaide, was under pressure to deliver. But the web developer posted a message on the group's page informing people the idea was just a practical joke.
