Great Photo, shitty label
No, it’s win. At least for the guy with the bucket of Original Recipe. That guy with the sign looks like he’s about to drop in and take a piece for himself. That’s what you call a counter-protest.
I doubt it. That stuff is toxic waste even for those of us who do eat meat.
Real KFC ingredients:
1 gallon rancid grease
3 pounds salt
3 pounds MSG
1 old stringy chicken
1 loaf month-old moldy bread, crumbed
But that’s what makes it so tasty!
Anyone else think it’s ironic that the FDA is responsible for making sure that our food is “safe”, but the word safe does not also mean healthy?
Don’t forget secret ingredients #6 and #7 [link]
Actually it’s 25 lbs flour, 3 lbs. salt, 1 lb. bag of pepper/special seasoning.
The fryers hold far more than a single gallon of Soybean Oil.
The chicken is delivered twice a week in most locations.
It may be gross, but goddamn it’s delicious!
The Steve goes KFC FTW!!
I used to work at KFC, college doesn’t pay for itself.
*shudders at the thought of wearing that gravy stained shirt even one more time*
My parents met when the both worked at KFC in high school. My dad fondly remembers that her skirt was the shortest. My mom says after 35 years she’s surprised she’s not wearing much more than a belt in his retelling of the tale, since it seems to get shorter every time.
Your story made me chuckle.
You wish. Here in Canada we protested KFC for 4 years before KFC Canada finally changed their standards so that their chickens aren’t boiled alive like they are in the States.
People used to throw chicken at us all the time–we were used to it.
Does the average PETard realize that if you don’t debeak chickens kept in close quarters, they peck each other to death?
Hmmm, do YOU realize that if you don’t put 10 chickens in a cage large enough for 4, deprive them of light, hang them above other cages of chickens, and allow them to live in their own filth, you wouldn’t have to burn their beaks off when they’re chicks to avoid the vet bills? PETA might be ridiculous in their delivery, but their philosophies are sound.
Hint: if chickens are pecking each other to death, and their bodies need to be mutilated to reduce the amount of damage done from this psychosis, maybe there’s something wrong with the poultry industry.
Thanks for the tip, though, Scot. You must be a genius.
Haha! This photo doesn’t even need a caption!
over the winter two bikini clad chicks protested at my local kfc taco bell, i so wanted to go and get a bucket of chicken and stand next to them eating it, and perhaps offer them some.
You should have.
That probably wouldn’t have got you laid.
Were they ugly?
Is that guy going to eat the WHOLE bucket by himself? No wonder he’s fat! Nothing healthy there.
Notice how healthy all the PETA kids look, and how overweight the chicken lover is.
They don’t look healthy, they look malnourished. Hey PETA, eat something already.
Are you kidding? That guy with the sign in ADORABLE! You must be so used to seeing overweight people that you’ve forgotten what a healthy weight looks like.
Adorable? Really? If you like chin pubes maybe…
The guy with the SIGN, not the fatty with the chicken!
Sorry, still not into children…
Win.
Yeah, I got that. He doesn’t seem to have been in the midst of puberty long enough to commit to a full beard. I’m not saying Tubby is Teh Hawt but I likes me a little meat on a man. I’ve seen too many “skinny” people who eat nothing but preprocessed crap and people who are slightly overweight that pretty much eat fresh fruits and vegetables to think that the way you look on the outside has much to do with how healthy you are.
Or to even know what to do with a full beard… I hate the whole skinny is healthy since when I was skinny, I ate worse than I do now.
I wouldn’t call myself excessively healthy now but still remains that I see tons of skinny guys and a couple of girls too, my age even, who are rail thin and eat way worse than I do and more of it.
I agree. I’m slender for my height of 5’3″, weighing around 100 pounds, but going into High School I’ve seen senior girls thinner than I, and taller.
And I thought I was thin. I eat really well. I suppose it’s my metabolism.
It makes me sad that people want to be so skinny…
it’s like kissing a brill o pad….if only guys had facial hair as soft as a baby kitten…..
It’s the pasty skin and pale lips that turn me off. Anemic much? Get that boy some red meat!
I’d say “look healthy” is relative, would you agree?
Yes,you can “look healthy”,but that doesn’t mean you are.People act like fat people are the only ones who die and that thinness makes you immortal.What society fails to realize is that,vegan or not, you can still get cancer,and cancer or not we will all eventually die at some point.I say just be happy as long as you don’t hurt anyone or try to shove beliefs in their face that go against nature as a whole.
Quit shovin’ yer belief that people shouldn’t shove their beliefs in other’s faces in my face!
Notice how self righteous you are.
They may look healthy in body (except for the whole anemia thing), but they’re sick in the head! Oooooh…I really hate PETA. They’re the textbook definition of hypocrisy.
They torture them into Deliciousness!
Chicken tears=Tasty. KFC FTW!
FTW indeed, but now that they have grilled chicken, it kind of defeats the whole purpose. Maybe they should start another chain.
HMMM KFC & coke ….. om nom nom nom nom nom …..
Crackheadism is sad.
My best friend and I walked out of a KFC intentionally eating chicken legs while they were protesting. I thought they were going to chase us down!
It’s a nice treat once in a while, but all that fat is just gross. I prefer shake-n-bake and baking mine. Actually better flavor that way.
Agreed. KFC tastes awesome, but there is no food I regret eating more afterwards. And FTR, my oven-fried chicken is just about the best thing I cook. Which isn’t saying much, but it’s good. Really.
Lynn’s oven fried chicken owns…
It’s worth making, but it can be a tad messy. LOL
Eh, I just keep a paper towel or two handy being held by endangered baby seals who I beat regularly when they step out of line… Uppity little monsters…
That’s funny, froo has mentioned the overall sneakiness of baby seals before… perhaps this is a threat we are overlooking.
They’re FAST….
I keep a shotgun with rocksalt in case they get any ideas.
And delicious. You’d be surprised.
I think we need to consider the possibility that baby seals are spreading Swine Flu.
My house at 8? Let’s go clubbing! *distributes clubs*
Yay!!! *gets all dressed up in “clubbing” clothes*
Worked at a KFC for a while… very greasey, and they only change the oil twice a week if I recall correctly. Unused chicken is kept in the freezer. Still, yummy, yummy, yummy. People don’t go there for health food.
That said, I almost wish I’d find/learn of protesters in my area, because I’d not only walk out eating chicken, I’d wear one of my bone-necklaces, perhaps my painted fawn-jaws. (My hobby is to find animal bones out on walks, clean them up and make artwork out of them – it’s on my website). If they protest the eating of animals, what will they say over someone wearing their bones? Hah.
That said, the other day, I went to my local creek and caught some “sea-kittens.” they made a delicious lunch for me yesterday.
I admire that these kids have values, but some of us humans are just predators – end of story.
I had some KFC last night because this damn lol made me crave some. I am interested in bone jewelry so I might just have to check your site out.
That sounds interesting!
I shall check out your site!
“Do you know what they do to those chickens?”
“No, but whatever it is, it’s delicious.”
Jim Gaffigan?

PETA is full of morons who just want to feel warm and fuzzy with no regard for the environment or any other factors. They protest bow-fishing here in Wisconsin. The only fish allowed to be shot are Carp, Garr, and other non-native, invasive, destructive species that the DNR wants eliminated. They over-compete for food, and with no natural predators they take over the rivers and lakes, causing the native species to die of starvation, and also make the rivers/lakes muddy by eating the vegetation that helps control the silt.
-
Bow-fishing is the best way to combat the overpopulation, the fish are removed, and the fishermen PAY the DNR for the opportunity to do so (fishing license). The work is actually being done by sportsman at a PROFIT to the government, but no, PETA isn’t happy with that! Don’t hurt the cute fishy that is causing our local ecosystem to collapse!
-
Morons. All of them.
You forgot about the animal dumping they have been notorious for in grocery store dumpsters…
The Steve, as somebody who, over the weekend, said “Fvck the fvcking vegans…there’s fruit if they want it and they better not start anything with me because I will take them down…” (in the kitchen at church, lol!) I am 100% with you on PETA. I have very limited patience available for self-righteous douchebags of any persuasion.
Yes, PETA’s full of self-righteous douchebags, but that’s also a really convenient justification used by the KFC-style shitheads who profit from horrible practices. We need more rational (non-PETA) activism in the meat industry.
It’s not my fault that cows and chickens are either too dumb to run, or too fat to fly, AND delicious!
If you can’t escape your prey, you deserve to be dinner. You don’t see me out protesting the tigers in the Sunderbans that keep eating people. If you get eaten by a tiger, you deserve it. The tiger earned it’s meal fair and square, you were either too stupid, too slow, or too delicious to escape.
I guess you could say the same about babies and children. Hey, if they get tortured and neglected and raped, what the hell? They’re too stupid and slow to get away so f‘ ‘em.
“I do if they’re properly cooked!”
WC Fields on being asked if he likes children.
They are slow and ignorant, not stupid. It is the job of the parents to protect them. What happens to them isn’t right but comparing children to chickens is comparing apples to oranges. Sure, I don’t believe animals should be tortured but I also value my children way higher than I would value any chicken.
Sorry, I am a base and cruel monster whom doesn’t giveth a damn as much as you. I value my kids more than chickens and when people try the trick of making me care by comparing my kids to chickens, I tune them out.
I’m not comparing your kids to chickens, honey. That’s silly. I’m trying to get you to say what you just said: “I don’t believe animals should be tortured.” That’s it. That’s all I’m fussing over here. No biggie. I think most of us can agree on this. I apologize if I came off as manipulative.
Tis okay, I am a tad edgy today anyway, which isn’t your fault. Had my mother’s wedding to deal with and moving on top of that. And I am going today without caffeine. Least I am told I look great in a tux.
And I swear that damn dressing gets heavier each time I have to move it. Upstairs…
As for manipulation, no worries. I could make the typical woman comment but I am not feeling it today and you don’t deserve more my attitude. So you will get hugs.
*hugs*
Yay for hugs not typical-woman-comments.
I’m sorry to hear about the family crud. Both my parents married so often and so badly that I cut out all together (happily so; no tears here) (any more) (snorffle) (heh heh).
*gives Moar Hugs* Good deal.
*applauds you both for hugging instead of arguing*
Like it is the job of the mother to protect her cubs and eat the evil people trying to kill them.
Yum. Evil people.
That’s hardly fair. I’m not torturing and/or raping chickens…
-
killing and eating =/= torturing
That’s my point, el stevo. By “horrible practices” in my post I was not talking about killing animals, yet that’s how you responded to my comment. I agree with you: killing does not have to involve torture. I think some people argue against regulating the meat industry because they think all the hoopla is about anti-meat-eating. It’s not, at least for me. It’s about being civilized in how we manage producing meat. This country could do a much, much better job.
That’s the problem with the PETA folk. They make it easy for folks of good intentions to be dismissed as “PETA wackos”. I’m an omnivore, but would like any animal I consume to be humanely raised and slaughtered.
And likewise, any scientist planning animal research should have to prove the legitimacy/value of the research, AND the properly planned care and facilities for that/those animals beforehand. Because, in spite of what the PETA folks say, we still don’t have cell-culture based methods for studying all of the serious diseases which plague both humans and animals!
/off my soapbox
THANK you. Thank you thank you thank you, viking gal. As a veg myself, I get so irritated w/ some of the stunts PETA pulls. They’re alienating the very audience that could join the cause and maybe even help change how we treat “food animals” in our country.
Mmm, I’m vego, not because I think it’s wrong to eat some animal, but because I’m against the factory farming practices that are too common. If someone said “Hey I just shot this roo, do you want to eat it with me?” I’d be all over it. But I don’t buy meat because I believe that most of what I can buy came from an animal that was raised in poor conditions and treated badly, and I can’t justify that suffering with my desire for a meal of tasty animal flesh.
You need to do a little more research, especially in the poultry industry. We treat our chickens very well.
Too well, maybe. The massages were a nice touch, but how many chickens really need an open bar?
It was either that, or install mud baths for relaxation.
Froo, sorry for making generalisations, I guess I should have said, “because I can’t be sure that the animal was treated humanely”. I admit that I had in mind the chain emails about chickens not being properly stunned by the electrified water prior to slaughter.
.
I grew up in a regional town in south-eastern Australia, which is a beef and dairy area. Trucks packed full of cows (or sheep) go through often. With our high school being close to the saleyards, we saw the odd cow that had fallen off a truck during loading or unloading, and four or five guys trying to stand it back up on its broken legs.
I should mention that I realise these things don’t mean the animals were generally treated badly, but it makes it clear that livestock are accepted as being no more than property. From that, I expect that good treatment is not guaranteed.
HAHAHA, yeah. Yeah, we treat them really well. WHO needs to do research?
Now I have to ask who is raping chickens…?
Noes! The chickens are raping the golden retrievers!! [link]
If I recall correctly, it was the bookmobile driver.
“Dude, you have sex with chickens. We’re all for being open-minded and stuff, but seriously, f*** you.”
Exactly! Lol.
Save a cow: eat a retard.
no…pun…intended?
sorry. too soon?
yeah that comment… totally not supposed to go there. FAIL.
Hi.
You could not possibly hate peta more than me. They make it so fvcking hard to get any kind of point across it’s infuriating. They give people an excuse to bag on my ideals. They make me look bad.
There are a lot or rational and sensible reasons to be vegetarian or vegan, and neither involves malnutrition. In fact many people who go veggie find they improve their diet, because they’ve actually started paying attention to it and realized they’re always sleepy because of this, or irritable because of that.
Eat what you will and enjoy it. Just don’t mock people who disagree with you – it gets on my nerves, especially when it happens to be me. And please don’t suggest we’re all on the ‘meat is murder’ bandwagon.
Conservatives have Geroge W. Bush, Christians have the westboro baptists, vegans have peta. Everyone’s got a cross to bear.
No worries, whenever it comes up, I try to be accomodating to vegan needs as a host. We had only one person over with that diet but we made sure that the grill was cleaned off and made sure that the corn was grilled first before we had our steaks and the like. He didn’t want any meat touching his stuff and that was fine.
I just get twitchy when people try to complicate my tasty lunch…
Yep, they cross the line when they start telling people what they should and shouldn’t eat.
It says something that I’ve given up arguing this with peta-freaks, but intelligent meat-eaters are often open-minded on the subject.
Hey, purple — no offense intended to vegetarians (or vegans) who aren’t, um, all in my face about it! I actually don’t have a problem with people choosing to eat or not eat what they choose. The “fvcking vegans” I was having a problem with on Sunday were complaining loudly about a free breakfast buffet that they hadn’t contributed to (bagels, fruit, yogurt, granola bars kinda stuff). They thought the whole thing should be stuff they would choose to eat. (No. Sorry, small but annoyingly vocal minority!) They were also kinda the last straw in a series of stupid whiny complaints about various things.
Those guys get me worked up too, no worries. Self-righteous asshats are always anoying – it’s just so much more frustrating when they’re undermining your perfectly valid points.
The most fun I ever had with them was explaning exactly how forcing your beliefs on others is so much worse than eating meat it’s not even funny. Hard to get them to pay attention, and follow all the polysyllables, but fun anyhow.
whoa. untwist the panties.
steve said nothing about vegetarians or vegans being nut jobs… just peta. you’ve stated that you disagree with peta. therefore, you and steve agree.
Less a response to him, more a response to general veggie-bashing. I should learn to relax some, you’re right. Easy to get defensive when you’re always in the firing line, and peta are the ones pushing me there.
*gives switch a sympathetic hug, and offers him a membership to the club* We have Christians, Liberals, Conservatives, Atheists, and any group with vocal idiots who make us look bad to everyone else.
*appreciates a good hug*
Yeah, I think I actually get off light. The vegan, atheist and liberal morons tend to be the less publicly mocked ones. It’s pretty lucky I’m not conservative or religous, really. That would be very bad for everyone.
You learn to roll with it. Just go with what the Big Guy says and try to live it as opposed to smacking people upside the head with it.
-
You should go back a few months to when I first came on and see me before I learned that it’s ok to calm down and not fight about it all the time
In bed…
Or you could be like me and still be an ass all these months later.
I have it on good authority that you are a consummate gentleman, sir.
He certainly consummates quite a bit, from what I hear….
I admit nor deny anything.
Thank you Purple Switch, you are most kind.
Thanks, purple switch. I’m totally with you. It’s amazing how people feel the need to attack you when all you do is NOT eat something their eating. Going vegan (vegetarian now) really opened my eyes. I see why so many veg folks have chips on their shoulders! To each their own, man. To each their own.
Ugh, *they’re eating*, sorry. ::shudders::
You rock, ps. Hear, hear.
But the conservatives voted for George W. Bush, twice. And they voted for Sarah Palin in 2008. Most Christians don’t approve of wostboro baptists, but conservatives have no excuse when they vote for the worst of the worst.
Old pun is very old akshuly.
Well that’s a poultry attempt at humor …
Unless it’s tongue in chick …
All this squawking about the issue will get you nowhere.
Like I’m remoltly interested in your pullet points.
Eggsactly my point, you’ll never get anywhere if you keep flying off the handle.
Eh, talk is cheep. Give me a beak.
Be careful making cracks like that.
I’ve had just about enough of your witty bantam.
You can’t hendle the truth!
Mmmm, that’s good terrorist!
“Don’t get me wrong I love animals, I just love to eat them more. Fun to pet, better to chew. I do feel bad that they have to be killed, Id prefer it was like an animal suicide. Maybe the animal deserved it. This is a good chicken sandwich, to think this bastard tried to steal my car” – Jim Gaffigan
LMAO Gaffigan FTW!
lol I love Jim Gaffigan!
*sings*… death pockets…
Flush pockets
“they have lean pockets now. I dont even want to know whats in those. What are the directions for those? “take out of box place directly in toilet” ”
“or theres the vegetarian hot pocket for those of us who dont eat meat but would still like diarrhea”
“have you tried the hot pocket hot pocket? its a hot pocket that tastes just like a hot pocket!”
“how come if you eat a whole pizza you’ve accomplished something but if you eat a whole cake your just a pig?”
I like how they all look happy to see the guy with the bucket…
They were getting hungry from all the protesting, so it was a welcome gift.
Gift? He doesn’t look like he’ll be sharing with anyone anytime soon.
mmmm tastes like hypocrisy (assuming they ate some of course)
Man now i’m hungry : (
Meat is murder. DELICIOUS MURDER.
PETA= People for the Eating of Tasty Animals
Kevin Spacey on the right looks like he really wants some of Silent Bob’s chicken. After all, he’s only there to get in his lady-friend’s pants.

And we all know: Chicken > Lady-Friend
You need to do some market research on standard pricing, buddy.
When I was in college they built a Starbucks right off campus and the requisite hippies were on hand to protest the evil corporation that was edging out the mom and pop coffee shops. While my sister-in-law were there getting coffee the protesters had pizza hut delivered and washed it down with the brand name bottled water they brought along.
*and I* were there. Damn.
wow… talk about hypocrites. so good to see the human psyche at work, isn’t it?
It is why I ignore most protests of companies. Mostly the idiots are there anyway.
I pay attention. I love the dissent, the outspokenness, the refusal to put up with corporate bs. The kids are clunky, sure, but gotta love ‘em for having the time and energy to fuss about what’s obviously wrong. The animal cruelty in the meat industry is really repulsive, D., and not at all necessary. Plus, you don’t want your boys eating those hormones and other crap. (The FDA lies due to industry lobbies). I eat meat but I pay extra for the good stuff. It’s worth it.
p.s. – I don’t mean I support peta, because I don’t. But I do, with all my heart, support the idea of protesting loud and hard about lots of stuff! This country has a great history of change through protest.
I would appreciate the refusal part a lot more if they actually could practice what they preach… As for our history, protest only works if the people protesting are actually intelligent.
Sometimes it’s a matter of numbers. You want a lot of people hitting the streets, and the law of averages says that they’re probably, well, of average intelligence. Fine.
I think if they would just come across as wanting to educate and inform the public and not so militant they would be received a lot better and may make some converts. I don’t like the factory farm industry and still don’t eat any veal because of stuff I read from PETA publications, that was before they became militant and stupid.
I agree. If they would drop the batshit stuff they’d be so much more effective.
You must be mad at me like I’m mad at peta…
Thanks for being so very eloquent. I’m gonna shut up and let the one with the smarts do the talking on this issue from now on.
What? Am I just missing everything today? I think peta did some some great stuff and then they went nuts. I’m in awe of how eloquent *you* are, and I admire your body of knowledge. What’s up p.s.? Is it me? I feel like I’m wayyyy off today. I get that I said a few things that would make commercial meat eaters annoyed – mea culpa, guys, I’m sorry! But how am I dissing you???
You’re not. I was just being an ass, and feeling blue ’cause I missed a buddy’s birthday today.
You weren’t dissing me, you were just being reasonable when I wasn’t, and looking at the contrast was embarassing. I get a bit worked up on some issues, and it bugs me, because I’ve spent so very long trying to be more rational and dispassionate. And then I saw I was being silly and heated and felt like even more of an ass than I was being…
Just being stupid publicly, and feeling stupid about it, and resolving to keep away from stuff that makes me act stupid in the future. And trying to pay you a compliment, and thank you, and failing at that too. It’s not my night.
Wow, thanks ps. For that I just might give you the first set of vintage A-Team scripts …
I’m worked up too today. It got really hot and muggy all of a sudden and I think it’s pissing me off. Or something. But really, thanks. I hope you get to celebrate with your budster.
Mmm, sweaty Pittypat… *drools*
Wet hugs all around!
Yay! *hugs*
I got hugs! My day is totally turned around.
Oh, and now that I’ve FINALLY stopped blushing, thanks pat for the compliment.
As they say…never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups…
What’s wrong about putting up a Starbucks? Big deal if they make money. If you have a business that is not out to make money, then you have the wrong business strategy. Part of that strategy is about gaining an upperhand on the competition by offering better products at cheaper prices. But some people sacrifice quanlity for price. That is the decision of the consumer. Capitalism is consumer driven. If people stopped buying from Wal-Mart, Starbucks, McDonalds, and the rest… those companies would cease to be.
Blame the consumer, not the business.
You must be talking about the beef industry. Poultry isn’t quite that bad. The “100% Natural” that my particular company preaches is a hell of a lot closer to the truth than “We’re chicken”, or the other slogan (they went bankrupt, they no longer matter
).
-
You’d be surprised what isn’t in chicken.
(the previous post was directed at PittyPat, dalink
)
I think you’ve found your company’s next ad campaign!
LOL, I love it.
Is it just me, or did anyone else notice the guy in the background eating his sweatshirt?
Yeah but… no animals died to make that sweatshirt?
Yeah just kids in sweatshops.
Let alone the forest cut down for the paper they used to make a sign…
That’s okay. Torturing humans is fine as long as you don’t torture animals.
(I know a few people who are like that, btw.)
Me too. I avoid them like the plague!
He’s starving for protein and doesn’t realize it. Probably has some kind of vitamin deficiency.
KFC tortures taste buds.
I don’t get you people who actually like KFC. I have no problem with them ethically, except that they make the shittiest chicken on Earth.
I’m in it for the rancid grease and MSG. YUM!
KFC tortures potatoes too! Skinning them and putting them in boiling oil!! So cruel to the poor defenceless tubers!!!
Their snack boxes, however, are for the win.
If you think KFC uses real potatoes….
Sorry. It’s a bag of dry powder with “butter flavor” already mixed in! Just add water!
That’s the “mashed potatoes” — KFC’s weak point, IMO. The potato wedges, I think, are what was being referred to.
Oh shit, those are the bomb! I fully support the slicing, torturous seasoning, and frying of said tubers.
I am very close to being tempted into going to get some… or maybe I’ll make a Checkers run for fries. Do they have Checkers/Rally’s where you are? Best. Fries. Ever. (Seasoned, fairly thin, supercrispy on the outside and tender inside…)
Here in the up-nort that is Wisconsin we don’t have Checkers/Rally’s…
“Look diss, is that Putin?!”
*steals and noms seasoned fries*
*field goal kicks your manjewels and retrieves Diss’s fries*
Don’t bother my Attorney General…
Isn’t that cruel and unusual punishment? Trolls get The People’s breasts!!! I demand equal rights!
I will consider the appropriate and timely use of the Ass of Justice.
*samurai voice*/
Use the Ass.
I didn’t meant to make it sound as if I stole ALL the fries! I just wanted a sample, and french fry “stealing” is good sport around here. Everyone shares, but distracting someone and swiping a fry is a bit of a game…maybe it’s a stoner custom. *shrugs*
*returns french fries with a few missing, apologizes in soprano*
My friends and I call it “fry tax”. When you bring fries into a group, every one in the group is entitled to claim “fry tax” and take one fry.
What about that mutant fry that seems to be in every sleeve of fries and is about 15″ long? Who gets that fry?
You can’t take the mutant fry, OR the biggest, curliest, curly fry. That always goes to whoever paid for the fries.
Those who chant about commies get the boobs. Those who mess with Diss, get the foot.
*hugs*
I would gladly have shared the fries, though. Why people think they need to steal my food, I have no idea!
*huggles and orders some more fries for ya* I know the feeling. Fry sharing is love.
as the people’s breasts aren’t here right now… as her assistant i’ll speak on her behalf.
your unjust trickery of the attorney general was of such caliber that the punishment dealt upon you by the president is more than fair. if you feel the need to take further issue with your predicament you may lay your head on the boobie pillow until you feel better. however, the jewels shall not be un-kicked and you will not get any more fries. it is not the attorney general’s fault that wisconsin is a good fast food wasteland. take heart, you have cheese.
I love delegating authority to those who are competent and able to serve.
In bed…
We gots Rally’s in Illinois.. One is right next door. Come on over we’ll get a Rally burger.
My wife has a long, emotional love affair with Rally’s fries. I can take ‘em or leave ‘em.
brings to mind the song, “Have you ever heard the vegetables scream……”

I can’t personally handle meat well, so I don’t eat it very often. But it’s people who protest the right of OMNIVORES such as humans to eat said meat is wrong. Or at least to call it murder. I don’t like KFC, they’re too greasy, and give me stomach aches, but if you want to put that shit into your body its your choice. No one’s mind was ever changed by you screaming in their face how they’re wrong. Religion, politics, and thousands of years of human existence have proved that.
Humans being classed as omnivores is actually debatable…
“When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings, who are natural herbivores.”-William C. Roberts, M.D., editor, American Journal of Cardiology.
Also see: The Comparative Anatomy of Eating”, by Milton R. Mills, MD. For a list of comparisons between human anatomy and that of a carnivore/omnivore/herbivore.
Anything that’s as delicious as chicken deserves to be tortured. Nothing that tasty should be allowed to live.
As for all the hoop-la about the cruel practices: Dead is dead. Whats it matter how they got there. Oh noes they lives in terribad conditions!!1111oneonejuan. They’re chickens. They frequently eat their own shit. If they were smarter I’d be in the cage about to be deep fried.
Your average golden retriever eats his own shit, too. But if you tortured that dog you’d get arrested. For a reason.
It’s fine to kill animals. But why the hell do we want to allow them to be tortured? It’s preventable.
Define torture.
I don’t envy “prize winning” show dogs who’s ears are surgically altered, tails chopped off, bodies poked, prodded and groomed to “perfection”, then dragged around in carriers from show to show, etc.
I have to admit, I’ve always found ear and/or tail alterations on dogs very disturbing and pointless.
my little puppy in my avatar is a border collie, they often come with docked tails. we were SO happy when we got her and it wasn’t docked. she’s got such pretty feathering on it and she wags so ferociously!
although, i’m planning on getting a rottweiler and they’re almost always docked. but the breeders i’ve been talking to (i know, i’m a terrible person for not using a shelter, but i need a dog i can train to the specs *i* need) have bred the dogs so that the tails are really short and usually don’t need to be surgically docked. that makes me happier about it.
I don’t envy them, either.
I understand that one side argues that animals are unable to enter into a social contract or make moral choices, or they are our intellectual inferiors, and therefore cannot be regarded as eligible for protection – that only human beings have that privilege. Therefore, there is nothing inherently wrong with using animals in any way we choose. But my point is, those people also tend to argue that the animals can be used as resources if there is no unnecessary suffering. I’m looking for clips of videos to back up my point, that the chicken, beef, and pork industries cause great amounts of crazy suffering. I have trouble sitting through them. I’ll put them up if you haven’t seen them. Honestly, I don’t understand why we’re arguing.
I think it was KFC, if I’m not mistaken, where the guys were bored and were just throwing the chickens against the wall to kill them and laughing. That was a while back, but a lot of this kind of stuff goes on with farm animals.
It was worse than that. These things need to be regulated. That’s all I’m saying. [link]
This one got a lot of press, too. [Link]
I can’t view the links, but did you link the one from many years ago of the Pilgrim’s employees drop-kicking the chickens on the loading dock?

Isolated incident, taken care of, and although it does happen occasionally, so do “angels of death” in hospitals. You can’t stop idiots from being idiots. Speaking from the industry, however, I can speak with authority that the chickens, while killed in large numbers, are not tortured. In fact, we go out of our way to process them in such a way that they suffer as little as possible. I work in HR now (I’ve worked in every part of a processing plant), and can tell you that I know of several people fired for the mistreatment of the birds. And that mistreatment was something as simple as not hanging them on the leg shackle correctly.
-
Beef and pork industry, I have no idea. But the poultry industry is doing just fine.
hang.. hang… hanging them on the leg shackle?? *shudder* Is that after they are dead?
When poultry of any kind are upended and turned upside down, they go into a sort of trance. They relax, get calm, and are generally very accepting of what you’re doing. It’s like turning a lizard on it’s back and stroking it’s tummy.
-
What a leg shackle consists of is a specially shaped metal “hanger” that allows the birds to hang upside down in this transitive state until they are moved to slaughter. It’s very humane, as is the slaughter process.
(and it hangs them by both legs, not just one.)
Link.
+1 Internets for HST. That is it exactly.
This makes me really sad. Hanging them on a leg shackle and sending them to slaughter? I don’t understand how you think this is ok…
Poor little things.
We’re arguing?
I didn’t think we were, I was just conversing.
At any rate, Fu(k PETA!
I don’t see why you have to stop there.
When you let yourself make excuses, you will do things that are wrong. It’s pretty simple. Saying ‘it’s not a moral agent’ isn’t enough.
Whatever the shortcomings of the thing you act upon, the acts are still yours. Saying ‘It’s a chicken so whatever’ is a lot less moral than ‘I should behave in a moral fashion regardless of circumstances’, at least by my lights.
Hey, just my opinion, but it does make a lot of sense when you think it through.
I agree, ps. If a chicken gets eaten by a carnivore or omnivore, tough luck. But if its life is one of suffering at the hands of humans, that’s because we’re either being amoral or immoral.
.
I think since humans have the capacity to understand the suffering of farm animals, we have a moral obligation to treat farm animals humanely. I understand that some people will think there is no obligation, but that to minimise animals’ suffering is a good thing to do, if you can be bothered. In either case, being humane wins.
Also: Can someone make me a sea kitten sandwich, heavy on the tarter sauce please.
Fried please, not baked.
Nooooo!!! Not the sea kittens!!
YES.
Now for Albertson’s to start selling Tuna free Dolphin, then life would be perfect. Yum, Dolphin with a little mayonnaise, mustard, onions, and just the tiniest bit of relish.
If this place will not eat my post again…
I killed some “creek kittens” the other day. (Can’t call them sea kittens if they’re freshwater, can you?) Took them out to a flat rock with my filet knife, thanked them for their sacrifice, dispatched them, fileted them, and had them yesterday for lunch.
“Sea kitten” is delicious, especially when you’re being the predator and seeing to it yourself!
Gah after all this talk about KFC I really want some. nomnomnomnom
Me too but the pricks moved. They were like 3 or 4 minutes from my house irrrrrrrrrrrrrr, now it’s about a 20 minute drive each way. DAMN IT! KFC IS TORTURING ME AND I’M NOT A CHICKEN! THIS IS WRONG!
… Damn, I might have to talk to Lynn and see if we want some KFC tonight.
Update, we had KFC in protest to these protesters…
Silly PeTA.
KFC doesn’t torture chickens. They *outsource* that sort of thing these days.
Seriously, though, PeTA drives me nuts. I just want to say to them, “OK, honey. You’re going to tell me that somehow my slice of grass-fed, free-range bison raised, slaughtered, and processed less than ten miles from where I’m standing, bought at an open-air farmer’s market directly from the owner of the ranch, is morally inferior to your processed slab of tofu, manufactured out of GMO soybeans grown using conventional pesticides and herbicides 700 miles away, shipped another several hundred miles to a massive fossil-fuel burning processing plant, packed into a petroleum-based plastic wrapper, then driven several hundred MORE miles by truck to your energy-consuming co-op grocery store, where it sat on a shelf being chilled artificially for up to a month before you drove to the store in your little oil-burning car and bought it with your daddy’s credit card? Really? Because my family and our several generations of family farms in this country would like to take issue with your support of the corporate system currently eradicating our way of life and leaving the landscape awash in pesticides, diesel fumes, and sterile GMO waste seeds.”
There is no one right way to eat, morally speaking. When we eat veggies, they should be as local and in-season as possible. When we eat meat, it should be as humanely raised and slaughtered as possible. GMO stuff is bad news unless you’re a developing country trying to feed eleventy million people on six acres of land. Get to know your local farmers and get as much food as you can from them.
I think anyone with a healthy distaste for self-righteous asshats can agree with you.
Hey look: irony, a pot, and a kettle, all in one post … :p
I can see the dislike toward PETA, but why such animosity toward vegetarians? I don’t eat meat, but I never bother people who do. It is rude to comment on other people’s diets. PETA is ridiculous, but give vegetarianism a break.
Which is why I try to avoid arguing diet. You have every right to your rabbit food as I have rights to my heart clogging.
I’m a veggie and I love the occasional heart clogging food…. Macaroni pie…..
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm……
As I noted above, my only animosity towards vegetarians and/or vegans is when they either: a) make what I consider unreasonable and non-reality-based complaints/requests (“This pan hasn’t been used to cook anything with meat in it before, right? Otherwise I can’t use it.” “Why do you have dairy products out when you know some of us are vegan?”) or b) get aggressively in my face about my food choices. Other than that, I got no problem.
And:
I’m inclined to agree.
Yeah, unreasonable vegetarians cheese me off. OK, if you tell me before you come over that you’re veg, I’ll cook veg for you. But I will NOT refrain from ordering meat in a restaurant just because you “can’t stand” to watch me eat it (yeah, that guy only got one date…).
I’m perfectly fine with vegitarians and vegans so long as they don’t scream at me because I want to go take my flycaster down to the creek to get some “sea kittens.”
I have friends who are veg for different reasons (one, I believe, who went veg just because she’s Jewish and it’s easier for her to keep Kosher if she’s eating veg because a lot of the Kosher laws have to do with meat and dairy). And some people just don’t like the taste… and I’m even fine if it’s a moral decison on someone’ spart because they don’t like the tought of eating/hurting animals…
Just so long as they understand that I am a willing predator. (I was raised the daughter of a butcher, my family raised its own meat sometimes, and, as said, I enjoy fishing/seeing to my own fish myself). I actually feel a part of nature when I am partaking of the flesh of other creatures.
It’s all a matter of choice and no one should force others to eat what they don’t want to. (I’d want to smack someone if I found out they were trying to sneak meat into a vegitarian’s food, for example).
Yep, arguing diet is as bad as bringing up politics or religion. It just isn’t really anyone’s business. I apreciate some of PETA’s work, but they take everything too far.
um …
what a douche.
The other sign holder is eating mad sleeve.
I love counter-protests…
Freaking morons and their freaking freezer full of hypocrisy.
LOL, if you think the guy eating chicken is really with the PETA protesters, YOU’re the moron.
Also, I love how everyone thinks all veg folks associated w/ PETA are crazy and antagonistic, but look how smiley the dudes are? They at least have a sense of humor.
Many of the vegans I have met are heavy drinkers. Has anyone else had the same experience?
Is that David Tennant on the right of the guy holding the sign??
Win.
He obviously went into KFC, bought chicken, and walked outside and started eating it next to them to sort of protest their protest. w00t
and if not, rofl faillllll!
That anti-protester is too funny! PETA people forgot all about the “circle of life.” And it moves us all….
the guy with the chicken is my hero
Yes! Awesome!
omg wut
.
You are Andrea2, k?
Heart problems is heart problems, vegan or not. I know a few cases where a vegan health and exercise nut had his heart explode while his junk-food swilling buddy lived to be 90. It’s all genetics.
Hey frou, the research is clear and abundant on this one. It’s not all genetics, apparently. My grandma lived to 98 eating her t-bones and swilling bourbon. But, for most folks, it looks like meat should be limited. And the hormones and other chemicals in commercial meat definitely cause health problems, especially to vulnerable people.
I’m a vegetarian and it’s unbelievable how much shit people give me for it. Yeah I agree, PETA might get in peoples faces and take things too far but we’re not all like that. Being a vegetarian/vegan is an amazing sacrifice people can make to help save the environment and prevent the suffering of the beautiful creatures we have to share this planet with. So the least you meat eating folk could do is cut us a bit of slack. We are just trying to help.
NZvego, I totally agree. I posted above about how my eyes were opened when I went vegan (i’m vegetarian now)… I never got in anyone’s face about it, but I immediately found myself under scrutiny, as if I put a sign that said “perfect in every way” on my head. I’m just vegetarian. What about me NOT eating something you DO eat makes you so insecure that you have to attack me about it; try to find “chinks in my armor” and catch me wearing leather or something? I’m not holier-than-thou, not by a longshot, but PETA seems to give us all a bad name. I wish they’d scale back some of their stunts, because they’re just alienating people and making us sane veg folks look bad.
Also, can someone explain why they are hypocrites? And what is a sea kitten? Lol.
Peta’d rather kill the chicken than give it to me to keep as a pet.
Dolphins.
nah, sea kittens are fish – the idea is that if people think they’re cute they won’t eat them… so save a sea kitty, eat beef
I don’t really understand what you mean. Why would they kill the chicken?
Yeesh, people eat dolphins? Why?
*the man holding the sign stares hungrily at the chicken.* if they were terrorist chickens, then i guess it is ok…
So this means all animal rights activists look hungrily at chicken? What I want to know is why peta would kill a chicken before giving it to someone as a pet?
UMMM, if you think PETA killed a chicken from this pic, I think you might be missing something…
Oh, sorry NZvego. You were responding to Obviosity. Yeah, I’m lost there, too.
uhhmmm…duh. Because they’re crazy as sh!t and would rather see an animal dead then enslaved and tortured as a human pet.
I love KFC!!!
KFC chicken is torture
The whole meat, dairy, and egg industries are based on torture.
Bullsh!t.
I didn’t claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat fu(king tofu.
Sling your ridiculous brand of bullsh!t somewhere else, hippie.
Epic Loveliness.
that guy has an african american soul lol KFC, WATERMELONS AND KEWL AID FTW
technically KFC doesn’t use chickens, they are genetically modified to have no feathers or eyes. Thats why they can’t call themselves “kentucky fried chicken” anymore
That’s a hoax – look it up on Snopes.com.
*stamp*
mmmm, texmex. Damnit, it’s far too late to go out for food, and I’m the world’s worst cook.
Pizza with jalapeno it is… ah, the healthy lifestyle. It’s what I’m all about.
Enjoy with my meat eating blessings, my friend.
What’s all this crowing about? Sounds pretty fowl!
