Also on yahoo.com this morning was a humorous little article about a cause and effect article in the NEW YORK TIMES. The Times originally showed this image of a chicken in a less than proper pose. PETA is not liking this pose because it is "just down right offensive to people..." PETA has been known for using scantly clad women to draw the attention of the media and other people to their literature. At the end of this story the author says that PETA should be thinking the New York Times, he doesn't think he could eat a chicken ever again.
So what happens when they start to pose cows? Are we not to eat them either? I think that they were just trying to make a humorous photo appeal to people who like to eat chicken. I think that when you make a big deal with something as trivial as this you have a problem. There are more important things to be worried about then a photo of a chicken.
I think at the time when we have problems in our country like we are having today, and a group of people are making a big deal out of something this trivial we kinda have a problem. Why not focus our resources on correcting the problems at hand. I just don't like the fact that a group that has money that they could be contributing to something like feeding the homeless, making a huge deal out of the fact that someone posted a funny picture in a paper. Soon we will be having problems with the Sunday comics that come out in the major news papers. If you have a problem with it, go to the source and explain your problem with it, do not make a huge fuss about it.
As always that is my opinion.
I have some issues with PETA, however, that picture was just..gross.
