TELL THEM! TELL THEM MEAT IS PEOPLE!

Taste like chicken.
The other other white meat.
Even remembering that the wife told him to get dark meat for the cookout, Johnny just has to have the white.
After listening to another NPR story about foreign delicacies and the bland American style of cooking, Johnny determined that this weekend he was going to change.
Remember the USDA said to clean totally before freezing.

"It's those unforseen things that crop up during these protests," said one PETA protester. He then lifted his shirt to show me just where the flies landed and laid their eggs...

It would seem that this would be better suited for an anti-prostitution rally or women's rights type of thing.

I think this one is mis packaged, It says flesh but it smells like fish.
Posted by: Sniff | June 7, 2005 07:50 PM
I think it looks cool myself, but you know, strictly from my minority viewpoint as a cannibal. ;)
As performance art, it's gotta be more than a little unsafe though--I hope they thought of sunblock and airholes.

Is it just wrong to say
"Stupid Fucking PETA?"
Because really, that's what i usually feel.
Posted by: tommy | June 8, 2005 02:09 AM
What am I supposed to learn from this?
That meat is like a lucious little nineteen-year old South Dakotan farmer's daughter wrapped up naked in cellophane? Yum. Get me a fork and some condoms.
Alternatively, I can see the argument that killing animals for sale as food is like killing PETA protesters for the sake of proving a point. I'm cool with that too.

While this group of moonbats is lecturing the rest of us they're running a "kill" shelter.
PETA kills animals. By the thousands.
Do read PETA's very lame response. As a breed rescue participant and owner of rescued dogs, this is more than disgusting, it should be illegal.
Posted by: bj | June 8, 2005 04:52 PM
They thought this was the apex of protests, but it's more like the ex-ape of protests.
Posted by: ScottC | June 8, 2005 06:51 PM
The package says "flesh," but that's not all that's there. Shouldn't it say "bone-in," or would that be reserved for the case where they're packed in pairs?

Here we have the (not quite) memorable scene from "Fridge Wars: The Butcher Strikes Back" when Han Solo's children are placed not in carbonite, but cellophane.
Unlike the carbon freezing process that Han went through, cellophane has no ability to suspend organic matter in a form of statis. The end result was that they all suffocated to death... thus ending the budding filmaker's movie franchise.
Shouldn't have left them in the sun. :P
