The Name’s Bacon, Fake Bacon

The hunky star of Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale is the latest star to reach PETA’s ‘hit list’ with word that he ordered some English bacon be sent over to Italy, for him and his crew to enjoy a good old British breakfast – the bacon sarnie.

PETA in the UK got wind of this (not his wind from eating the sarnie I hope) and sent him a pack of faux-bacon with a note to say that he should ditch the dirty meat and stick to a healthy veg diet instead.

Pro-PETA view:
Meat eating causes impotence and hardens the arteries, if you eat meat you’re going to die sooner than a vegetarian. Daniel Craig should go vegan.

Anti-PETA view:
I love bacon, I love killing animals to eat, I could never give up my bacon sarnie in the morning. Fake bacon tastes like cardboard.

The Truth:
Anyone who has seen any of the latest Bond films starring Daniel Craig will notice that he’s hardly showing the signs of an unhealthy diet. In fact, with a body that would make most men wet, he’s pretty much in tip-top physical form.

Never one to assume but I believe he eats well, has a balanced training regime and any number of personal trainers making sure those arteries are floppier than a meat eaters willy whilst ensuring his willy is capable of staying harder than a meat eaters arteries!

Fake bacon is – while a cheating way to have a traditional treat for vegetarians – pretty nasty, used only for introducing vegetarians and vegans to the world of faux-meat. Cook it incorrectly and it turns out like shoe leather, but tougher.

Daniel Craig is in the news for his latest film, so what a perfect time to grab onto his name and try to get some publicity out of it. Overall I think PETA are clutching at straws here, but still nice of them to send him some veggie bacon, rather than a rotten corpse.

PETA Releases New Cooking Mama Parody

The New PETA Game is Bloody and Gory

The New PETA Game is Bloody and Gory

PETA in America have come up with a new Flash game based around the popular DS title “Cooking Mama” (Is it just me or is that title just bizarre anyway!)

There are 4 levels to the game, each divided into 3 mini-games, allowing a total of around 12 games. For those of you who have played the original and enjoyed, if you can get past the propagandha here I think you’ll thoroughly enjoy it.

It seems to have gone everywhere too, with top sites like Joystiq calling it “the best flash game we’ve seen from the activist group yet”

Pro-PETA view:
This is a great game and PETA should be showing it to kids on their kids site, cause kids need to grow up knowing this stuff. It shows the horrors that happen during the holiday season to millions of turkeys worldwide – But you get to baste a tofu turkey at the end!

Anti-PETA view:
Propagandha, Propagandha, Propagandha, once again PETA use the strength of one product to hijack it for their own ends. They are clearly marketing it towards kids which is evil – leave the kids alone.

The Truth:
There’s no surprise that this comes just before the release of the new Cooking Mama due out on the Wii, a lot of effort has gone into making this a picture perfect parody of the game. PETA will use this to sidetrack you into signing their alert against Majesco – the Cooking Mama creators – but it’s not like their usual alert, this asks Majesco to make a vegetarian version available – something I can see Majesco doing in the future.

It’s clearly aimed at kids, which a lot of people see as wrong, though I’m sure it’s fine for aforementioned people to play Manhunt 2 or other blood filled games.

Overall it’s a bit of fun – play it, don’t let it absorb, it’s a computer game.

The Flour Bombing

Lindsay Lohan, the beautiful American star without a conscience was last night rained in flour by “an anti-fur activist” en-route to a Paris nightclub.

Lohan has been a PETA target for a long time for her nefarious fur wearing ways – including stealing a $10,000 fur coat from a fellow party-goer – Masha Markova (who is that oblivious to her own life it seems to only notice that the fur coat had been stolen after seeing a picture of Lohan wearing it in the press!)

Pro-PETA view:
Lindsay Lohan is an evil fur hag who deserves her place on their “Worst Dressed List.” Her ignorance supports the suffering of hundreds of animals raised to die on fur farms - mainly in China, where there are no laws to protect the lives of innocent animals.

Anti-PETA view:
PETA terrorise another celebrity yet again for a minor choice in their wardrobe. They have hounded and infringed on the privacy of someone and then assault them with flour, causing distress to Lindsay. They should be locked up with the harshest penalty allowed.

The Truth:
Most likely will have been a PETA employee who did it as with every other flour bombing/tofu-pie-ing – yet for legal reasons they have put out a statement calling them anti-fur activists. That they chose Linday Lohan is likely because she is a rising star in the industry, an it-girl with a big public following. They’re not likely to target general members of the public openly, but will sneer at fur wearers in the street and hand them literature on the fur industry, or put one of their “I’m an asshole – I wear fur” stickers somewhere on their person.

They will use this to get people to their website, where you can find information on the fur industry (from a biased perspective of course) and most likely ask you to somewhere provide an email address to bombard you futher with graphic emails.

Let’s face it, flour is not a harmful substance, it’s not so much an “attack” more an annoyance because it spoiled her night – she goes out partying every night so I’m sure she’ll survive.
