  1. ilia says:

    meat isn’t what it used to be ^^

  2. Flu says:

    Probably wanted to say swine-flu

  3. Pixel Dust Fairy says:

    I guess they took it on the lamb.

  4. StarrDreamer says:

    I’d love to say it’s an illness fail, but seriously, people are morons. At the height of the swine flu epidemic, my grocery store saw a fall of over 50% in pork sales until the CDC declared the pandemic at an end.

  5. Adrian says:

    It’s a swine flu related joked the owners put up a while back. I live down the road from this market, they have most excellent meat. Lots of awards hanging on their walls. Alot of the local mom & pop burger stands get their meat here and it is fantastic.

  6. deedee13 says:

    This is only to attract muslims

  7. Walrus says:

    Maybe this refers to the practice of feeding pork products to pigs. The term ‘Special Pig’ refers to a pig that is fed a diet of at least 65 per cent pork…and as someone who has tried Special Pig let me attest to it being far more delicious than standard grocery-store pork.
    Unfortunately there is no policy of feeding the parts of these pigs to other pigs. I can only imagine how tasty that would be.

  8. John Doe says:

    Hmmmnnn… tastes like chicken.

  9. Nellie Lovett says:

    Hello, everybody. My name is Nellie Lovett and I can tell you, my pork is even freer of swine than this guy’s!

  10. Brittany says:

    My parents buy meat at this place because it’s close to where I live… Shameful.

  11. Doe John says:

    LOL That’s close to Roy, Washington.

  12. Steve says:

    How come that swine has a wooden leg?

  13. Ace5762 says:

    More evidence towards the great tofu conspiracy >.>

  14. John A says:

    Actually, it is probably true. The pork we eat usually comes from various types of [mostly] hairless pigs, swine are the hairy varieties – think “wild boar.”

  15. aarin says:

    OMG I live near there *facepalm* u_u

  16. Dude says:

    Dude a swine is a female pig so they don’t use chick pigs in their pork. Failblog fail here

  17. Our chicken is poultry-free

  18. jackie jack says:

    your comments are mostly imbecelic. this is an austin, texas store right off campus (note the longhorn symbol on the sign) and is purely and solely meant to be ironic.

    • Amanda says:

      Nope, this is a Yelm Washington store. I lived by that place for over a decade. It’s a butcher shop, hence the cow, but they also sell pork, chicken and many kinds of exotic meat. Even alligator.

      • Raichu says:

        Technically its not in Yelm, its in Mckenna or whatever.

        • Amanda says:

          Hard to know where Yelm stops and McKenna begins.. Stewart’s Meats has a Yelm address, but is kinda sitting in McKenna. Maybe they should just combine the two finally.. Yelm is still exploding and from what I’ve seen, it’s pretty much eating McKenna.

  19. Chris says:

    OMG I have totally been there. It’s out WAY south of Tacoma.

  20. theefab says:

    when im goin to eat pork swine is the last thing i wanna see on there sign thats like handing someone some water and then saying i didnt spit in your water ok

  21. Madara says:

    No need to HOG all the swine..

  22. leon says:

    no Jon stweart is jewish so his meat shop has to provide swine free pork lol

  23. Michael says:

    Just like a few other people I know exactly where that is. It’s over in a town called Yelm and they have the best damn jerky and sausage you will ever find. I live in Spanaway (haven’t heard of it? No one has!) and we get meat there all the time. GO STEWARTS

  24. Certain says:

    Perhaps, the person making the sign was trying to refer to the absence of uncastrated male pig in the pork. After all, if males aren’t castrated young, their meat takes on a distinct, gross-tasting flavor, something people would not want to buy. Though the word “swine” does not refer specifically to males, the person making the sign may have thought it was another word for “boar,” just like “sow” is a name for female pigs. It would make a lot of sense to point out that their pork no longer includes that type of pig.

    • Raptor2213 says:

      No, likely what he was referring to is that the machinery used to cut/grind his beef was not used for pork. Some nationalities (such as Germans) have dishes that use Raw beef. Raw beef is perfectly fine to eat – unless it has been cross-contaminated with Pork.

      Pork can contain cysts from Trichina. Cows are not subject to Trichina – and therefor the beef is safer to eat raw. However, if the beef is cut/ground with the same tools, the beef can become contaminated. Note that cooking the beef/pork destroys these bacteria (if cooked properly), but we’re talking about people eating raw or undercooked beef.

      This is a fail on the poster, not the sign. It makes perfect sense to anyone who knows their dishes.

      • Erm... says:

        That would make sense if the sign said “Our beef is swine free.” But that’s not what it says. It clearly states that their pork is swine free.

      • someone says:

        @Raptor2213, Trichina is actually a parasitic worm that lives in the meat of (mostly) wild animals (example boar), it can transfer to humans if we eat untreated meat – the parasites will then live on inside our muscles and organs. Domestic animals (swine) are typically tested for this when they are butchered.

  25. xXnintendorkXx says:

    I live just 5 miles away from this place. Fail sign or not, they have the best beef jerky and pepperoni I have ever had in my life.

  26. Lowpass says:

    Understanding reformed meat-Fail.
    There pork probably is meat-free, too.

  27. jellofan says:

    hee hee … it said PORKhee hee

  28. hesse says:

    omg! Stewart’s is the best butcher shop evar! we drive all the way from Portland to buy stuff there whenever we can (and Stewart’s is better than anything in Seattle too). they make their own sausage, beef jerky, etc. with local grass fed, free-range animals. they only cut up nice piggies–no swine allowed! the sign is clearly just a failure in trying to be clever.

    but now we’re all talking about them, so maybe it’s a bit of a win after all.

  29. megan says:

    This is the best meat shop around!! ive driven 3 hours for their jerky!!

  30. lillejord says:

    “2. A person regarded as brutish or contemptible.”

    Their pork isn’t contemptible. Words often have multiple meanings and they were obviously trying to be cleaver. I think it is rather obvious that the poster is the one who failed here.
