It could seem "evil" - not sure that's the right word here - for several reasons. The old footage is from a time when people were still in contact with animals, both wild and domesticated, on a regular basis. The pervasive attitude was and still is to a great extent that animals are soulless creatures to be "utilized" by man as he sees fit. They had no feelings and no purpose than to serve us. And all through history they have been ascribed any number of man's "shameful aspects". You can't name an animal that isn't associated with some aspect of man's nature that we simply cannot accept in ourselves.

Consider the phrase "That man is a pig." That pig was dancing with a young woman and it was meant to show us the danger in letting our young women dance with "pigs". Lock up your wives and daughters! lol

But then of course you have the current fears of swine flu. It's probably a subconscious connection but it should be nonetheless considered.

I didn't find it disturbing. Odd, yes. Evil or wicked or sick, no. The pig is just some guy in a costume and not a very menacing one, at that. Then again, I'm a Alejandro Jodorowsky fan, maybe I'm just desensitized to weirdness. Either way, S&F for the entertainment.

Thanks DrMatt- good one.

I found the pig more disturbing than the NIN clip.

Creepy.

I don't know if anyone's picked this up yet, but there are many, many subliminal frames in the video, each which flash for a fraction of a second.

I am almost certain that this is the reason for the unease - we know we are seeing things, but our conscious mind doesn't process it.

Try this to see what I mean:

In the first two seconds, I have counted at least eight subliminal pics.

Go through the first two seconds of the video frame by frame, clicking on play/pause as fast as you can. You will probably see about two or three different images each time. I've noticed that every time I go through the first two seconds, I see new frames. So far, I have counted eight different subliminal images.
