Attention fat people of Portland: The good folks at PDX.FM are throwing you your own national holiday, where you will stand in the middle of the street and eat pig until the elastic waistband on your khakis gives out. Hooray.
For the second year in a row, PDX.FM’s Baconfest deal this Saturday will allow you, the poor bacon-deprived masses, the opportunity to eat the underside of a pig prepared in a variety of disgusting awesome manners. Per the station’s FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE press thing they crammed in our inbox yesterday:
Baconfest will be held on the street at 18th and Burnside next to The East Burn. This year there will be over two dozen Northwest vendors, two food carts, 4 local bands, and a DJ along with a baconeating (sic) contest, a bacon dance-off, prizes, beer, vodka, raffles, professional skateboarders and more – all to celebrate the meaty magical goodness that is bacon.
Magic.
It is a known true fact of history that Baby Jesus invented bacon like, whatever, 10,000 years ago, so as to hand out as gifts during his “12 Days of Christmas” ice spectacular. So don’t be a dick. Go to Baconfest, which is what little infant Jesus would have wanted you to do. Plus: Bacon lollypops, you guys. They exist.
Also of note: PDX.FM calls itself “revolutionary” in its press releases. Dang guys, MODEST MUCH?

“Also of note: PDX.FM calls itself “revolutionary” in its press releases. Dang guys, MODEST MUCH?”
A phrase that’s intended to provoke exactly that response.
