Over at Puddlecotes place I spot this
It would appear that the Pilkington Taste Testers are at it again.
The above billboard has been has been put up in a strategic place by those fuzzy wuzzy animal lurvers PETA. This billboard would appear to intimate that if you eat meat (any meat) you will catch swine flu and die to death in a hideous dying to death way.
It has been errected opposite the main entrance to Glasgow’s Southern General Hospital. Now I could be lazy and ask you to google why this has given me such a humungous fuckoff head pop but that would just not diffuse my anger. I will use Dick Puddlecotes words because it is probably safer for me to cut and paste at this very second. I’m not sure that I can trust my own hands not to smash the utter fucking life out of my keyboard.
This is the same hospital which initially treated Jacqueline Fleming, the first British death attributed to swine flu. Oh yeah, and seeing as she was pregnant at the time, her baby was induced prematurely and also died.
Unfortunate coincidence? Nothing of the sort. PETA are quite proud of it, in fact.
Poorva Joshipura, director of special projects at PETA Europe, said:
“The billboard was placed by Southern General Hospital because this is an important health issue for Glasgow and indeed everyone on the planet.”
Total, fuck wadding, knob jockeying, weapons grade cunt baskets every last one of them. Fuck off you heartless, self serving, hypocritical bollock wafting fucktards. Just fuck off. Fuck. Off. Fuck. Right. Off. Fuck. The. Fuck. Right. Fucking. Off.
Got that?. Good don’t let the door hit your sanctimonious arse on the way out will you.
Good.
NOW FUCK THE FUCKITY FUCK RIGHT THE FUCKING FUCK OFF.
Cunts.
“It has been errected opposite the main entrance to Glasgow’s Southern General Hospital.”
Which is somewhat ironic, as the percentage of meat in the lowest-bidder-catering-firm sausages and pies in the canteen is probably measured in minus figures…
Un-fucking-believable. Bunch of bastards. Who the fuck do these types think they are. I would live to punch the smugness right out of them, would have to do it in shifts though, it will take a while.
A complaint is in order methinks.
[...] Andtherewasmethinking and Dick Puddlecote, comes news that the loonies at PETA have found a sick new way of promoting the [...]
I would love to do a massive meat-free shit in their lovely salads. Or don’t vegetables have any rights?
Fuck you, PETA.

And to so many scientifically illiterate people it’ll seem plausible as well. Pigs may be a host for swine ‘flu but I’d bet avoiding pork won’t guarantee you won’t catch it. MRSA? Been known for only a few decades and our species has been eating meat for many thousands of years, probably a few hundred thousand. Linking a Germy Come Lately like MRSA to meat eating is comical. Mad Cow, assuming we’re not talking about these leaf munching women who get rolled out for PETA’s attention seeking publicity stunts, is widely assumed to be linked to meat consumption but nearly 30 years on the vCJD epidemic we were told was certain has failed to show up, and I’m sure I recall hearing that at least one life long veggie went down with brain rot. I suspect the science is nothing like as settled as people think and the precautions taken back at the time of the scare have turned out to have been good enough to protect us meat eaters (I notice that <a href="http://devilskitchen.me.uk/search?q=prion"The Devil is even more sceptical – as he points out people have been dropping dead of CJD for a very long time and researchers might be seeing what they want or expect to see or will be paid to see rather than something else that has simply been with us all along). Lastly, E. coli, their weakest example of the lot given that it lives in the human intestine anyway and is quite capable of causing a food poisoning outbreak on vegetables as well as meat. Even can carry it. PETA’s implied message that you can protect yourself from E. coli by becoming a vegetablist is fucking laughable.
The implication that meat consumption will kill you and that vegetablism will ensure your safety is patently untrue. I suggest complaining to the ASA. I’m serious. I’ll draft something but having left the UK I expect I’ll get a polite version of fuck off. Massed complaints from UK based people, say for example bloggers who’ve highlighted the Pilkington Taste Testers’ (glad you’re still using the phrase Mummy
) ridiculous poster, along with any readers they’ve encouraged to complain as well.
Arseholes. Stuffed up two links. The first to the Devil’s Kitchen… well, you can see the URL anyway. The last link is there but the sentence at the beginning should read “Even water can carry it”. It does link to the right Beeb story, even if a bit more text than I intended is in the link. Oops. Should have had a cuppa first.

Inventing a completely unheard of transmission medium struck me at the time as just a little desperate.
Oh! and as we are all discussing spastic science, lets not forget the ’80s government properganda which attpmpted to scare the shit out of anyone contemplating a fuck, by telling us all we were going to die from AIDS.

Yeah, I was a hormone fuelled teenager at the time. I was devastated that almost as soon as I’d found out what to do with a girl that monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey would fall over and kill me if I actually got lucky. “Don’t die of ignorance” they said. Good advice, but unfortunately I was also ignorant of what a certain girl would say if I suggested putting it in her ear as a form of safe sex. “Don’t die of trying to get off with a girl who has no sense of humour” would have been a lot more useful.
