My local radio guy was talking about this on the drive into work this morning. It totally brightened up my day.
When I read the thread title, I honestly expected them to want him released.
…it shows the respect I have for PETA I guess.
Waitaminute! The idea they put forth is, if he is on a vegetarian diet, it will keep him from killing/fighting while in jail?! That’s STUPID! I don’t get into daily fights, and I eat meat.
What planet is this guy from? More importantly, how do we send him back there?
Which guy, the guy who is alleged to have eaten his GF, or the guy who thinks that the answer to said other guy’s problem is to put him on a cruelty-free diet?
They’re on a Phelps-like bender to raise awareness of their “cause” lately.
They were at Barry Bond’s hearing recently, trying to draw connections between Mr. Bonds and steroid use in poultry. The fact that no one at the trial was their because of an overwhelming concern for the plight of farm animals didn’t matter.
The fact that poultry are not given steroids, like ever, really didn’t matter.
I hates them. :mad:
I love PETA. They always make me laugh. Bless them and their craziness.
Man, this thread really gives me a taste for bacon.

Autocannibalism. I wondered if I’d just made a new word. Nope, Google gave me 20K hits.
I’d think that the last guy in prison you want to deprive of meat is the alleged cannibal. For the same reason that you wouldn’t want to be a zookeeper’s assistant after the lions are put on a soy-protein diet.
I’m not sure I get why this is supposed to be the height of comedy. Trying to establish some sort of moral equivalence between cannibalism and your average omnivorous diet deserves a :dubious:, but it doesn’t strike me as an especially crazy POV compared to “God ordered me to kill and eat my girlfriend”. It’s like that scene in Pulp Fiction regarding the sexual connotations of foot massages. Cannibalism might be quite a step up from a Big Kahuna burger, but is it in “the same ballpark”?

And before anyone points out the irony of my user name, read this.
In special honor of Bruce Friedrich, my plan of having vegetable soup for dinner tonight is being scrapped in favor of making some yummy, yummy burgers.
“PETA: less crazy than that guy who ate his girlfriend”
Expect to see the posters soon.
