Black Mirror is a British television anthology series created by Charlie Brooker that features speculative fiction with dark and sometimes satirical themes that examine modern society, particularly with regard to the unanticipated consequences of new technologies.
In the first episode of the first season, the incumbent U.K. Prime Minister is forced into performing a sex act with a pig in order to assure the safe release of kidnapped Princess Susanna. The entire nation watches the entire act, with some committing suicide while watching and others smiling with glee.

Any animal that has a cloven hoof that is completely split into double hooves, and which brings up its cud that one you may eat.
— Leviticus 11:3
Animals that have cloven hooves and chew their cud are ruminants such as cows, sheep, and deer. This text does not specify every possible animal by name, only their behaviors.
The text goes on to describe specific animals that are known and meet one, but not both, of those qualifications, thereby prohibiting their consumption. It does not elaborate on the exact reason for prohibition other than physical characteristics.
Pigs are described in this section as prohibited because they have a cloven hoof but don't chew their cud.
And the pig, because it has a cloven hoof that is completely split, but will not regurgitate its cud; it is unclean for you. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

But somehow I think the pig represents something to do with Islam or Judaism.
Somehow this is going in different direction though. Or is it?
