What if the Three Little Pigs went on trial for murder in the 21st century?

In this clever (and fairly creepy) spot for The Guardian's open journalism initiative, the story of the Three Little Pigs is transformed into the trial of the century, complete with protestors wearing the porcine equivalent of V for Vendetta masks.

In this reality at the nexus of fairy tales and media brouhaha, we can also assume the pigs will be locked away with Struwwelpeter and the Three Billy Goats Gruff, who impinged upon a troll's right to collect tariffs. Hat tip to Precious Roy.
