Yes, poor woman- can’t find a man who will “eat her” now, so she is reduced to this. tsk, tsk.

More proof that Ingrid Newkirk is a total nutcase, IMO.

Let me have first claim to her head. I will mount it on my wall for all to see. No, no, wait a minute. Let me instead mount her ass ON her head. Somehow that seems more appropriate.

Newkirk’s biggest miscalculation in this is that she assumes that people will be outraged by her will and that it will “make them think”. Personally, I couldn’t care less if that’s what she wanted-you bring the sauce and I’ll bring the lighter fluid and charcoal. After she’s dead she’s meat, just like cows and pigs, just like the rest of us.

Here’s a pic of the main course with an appetizer:

Seriously, though: she’s 53? That’s a lot older than you want your meat to get. She’s gotta be tough by now. OTOH, she is an american and an office worker, which would keep her more tender than a laborer. She’s also a vegan, so her flesh should be pretty clean & not too gamey.

Judging by her resemblance to the animal she’s holding, I’m guessing she will taste just like chicken.

LOL. I hope you aren’t in marketing. Certainly _I_ wouldn’t hire you. You see, I don’t JUST want my target audience to remember me, I want them to buy my product too. If they just remember it and then make fun of it, I’m pissing away my money.
