My daughter came home from Vacation Bible School tonight and said that one of the youth ministers there said that if they raised $500 during Vacation Bible School that he would kiss a baby pig in front of everyone at the closing program on Sunday. My daughter is all excited, she can't wait to see it. Are there any of you out there who would be willing to kiss a pig for something of a cause like that? Just curious.

Its not the pig kissing you should be concerned about its that he convinced your children that they were somehow responsible for raising or collectively donating $500.00 to the church. That is shameless!!
If they need money and someone to raise it they should be addressing adults only.

They were taking up a nightly offering for a school in Haiti, it was a good cause that all the parents were aware of and gave the children money to donate. I don't find that shameless, the children were very giving. Most people just want to take now days and seeing the children excited about helping other children in another country is commendable if you ask me.

Heh, that seems to be a popular ploy guardians and teachers pull with children. In middle school, we had to do some sort of sales for Christmas items or something of the sort. I'm a bit fuzzy on what we were selling, but I think it was the generic Christmas cookies, packs of Christmas cards, and so on. Anyway, the vice principal claimed that if the seventh graders beat the eighth graders in sales, she would kiss a goat. The principal said that if the total amount of sales got over a certain point, he'd spend an entire day on the roof of the school.
Guess what? We got to see the VP kiss a goat in the auditorium, and waved to our principal when we got into/left school.
It's quite a motivator for younger kids to get the Serious Adults in their lives doing something silly.

I would kiss a pig. I have eaten a lot worse things for free so kissing a pig wouldn't bother me. Especially a baby pig. It isn't that I would be against kissing a large big but I might be a little more afraid that the big one might bite me and really do some damage. Those big ones can be pretty mean. For a cause like this especially I would, I have seen it before and what constitutes the kiss is really no big deal at all.

Yes I would kiss a pig, I love pigs, their temperaments are great and sometimes i pity them because they are killed as human food, bad fate, isn't it?
