STRIKE TWO: The National Stuttering Project was not happy with the way Porky Pig was depicted in Nike’s “Air Jordan” TV commercials last year, and told the company why. Now Porky’s back with Michael Jordan in a new commercial, and the stuttering group, based in San Juan Capistrano, is more upset than before. . . . “We don’t mind them using Porky, who is a positive role model for us,” says group spokesman Ira Zimmerman. “It’s the way he was used; it was scornful of us.” Nike wouldn’t comment Thursday.
