PETA steps into it again: attacking McDonald’s or our kids?

(Never dreamed I will be defending McDonald’s, even in a roundabout way…)

I am tired of repeating myself, but there is no alternative:

When you think that cheap and revolting propaganda cannot get any cheaper and more revolting, here come PETA puppets – a pitiful result of accidental cross-breeding between STD and Ebola – with a new idea.

It started with fanfares:

Nine years after calling a truce with McDonald’s Corp., People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says it is going on a new offensive against the Oak Brook-based fast-food giant, this time over the most humane way to kill a chicken.

And here we are now:

Around noon today, people coming to McDonald’s for lunch found “unhappy meals.” Inside the box they found a bloody rubber chicken, packet of ketchup blood, knife-wielding Ronald McDonald, and a tee-shirt. PETA said it was all part of a bigger message.


Of course, this is effective. Especially with kids

I hope that the clip doesn’t disappear, but the kid in it said loud and clear what he thinks about this new idiotic venture of PETA: it was kind of crazy. And I shudder at the thought about this “bigger message”. If the above was only a part, what is coming yet? Who are the next people whom PETA hadn’t yet offended, insulted or plainly pissed off?

Anyhoo, I had me a dream after the last non-vegetarian lunch: I was running along a street in Ronald M. uniform, with blood-dripping knife in my hand after a PETA member. I will skip the gory details, but the last scene was where I am sitting at a table in McDonald’s eating PETA nuggets from a bucket. Yummy…

    Eatapeta should be a bi-annual event in honor of that stunt.

    Veeshir – I almost made the common misteak (sic) of confusing biannual with biennial.

    biannual: Definition from Answers.com
    biannual adj. Happening twice each year; semiannual. Occurring every two years; biennial.

    Because of that, I tend to use semiannual.

    The comment

    this time over the most humane way to kill a chicken

    made me wonder if they were try to insist that McDonalds only use shechita (kosher ritual slaughter) to kill their chickens, even if they do not kasher the chickens afterwards. (:-)

    I can just see PETA pretending that they never supported the antisemitic campaigns against shechitah, since it is the most humane method of slaughtering animals.
