Man names child "spider pig"
Spider Pig is the name given by Homer to his pet porker in the hit flick The Simpsons Movie.
A soon-to-be father will be regretting a Facebook pledge that could force him to name his child Spider Pig. Oli Young put an appeal on his page saying that if 100,000 people sign up then his wife will let him choose the wacky name.
Homer names the hog Spider Pig after he makes it walk on the ceiling. He later christens it Harry Plopper and it appears with glasses and a scarred forehead.
So far Oli has got 85,000 names - a figure that is growing rapidly.
Some have backed his choice of name, while others described it as "irresponsible parenting".
Claire Williams, from London, wrote: "That kid will turn into a superhero if he survives the bullying!"
Another reader said: "Please don't ruin your kid's life."
