heheh. If you don't eat your dog, don't eat a turkey. So what if I do want to eat my dog, can I have my turkey now? Of course such ads won't work in China cause they DO eat dogs

They successfully get people to stare at their hot naked girls. Though they're not quite so successful at getting people to pay attention to whatever those girls are trying to express, other than "I am not wearing clothes."

“PETA's feast would feature Tofurky with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes (made with vegan margarine), and vegan apple pie topped with vanilla dairy-free ice cream.”

I could handle the apple pie but the rest sounds pretty terrible.

The world would be a dark depressing place without turkey at Christmas

define genocide:

The deliberate killing of a large group of people, esp. those of a particular ethnic group or nation.

I guess the question on all our minds is "Is the turkeys black?"

Nov 16, 2011#39

It is only genocide if you don't let them reproduce.

Heck there would be far fewer Turkeys on the planet if we did not think that they were so delicious.

genocide of turkeys actually made a little sense.

All of our holidays glorify genocide in some way:

Thanksgiving: Native Americans
Christmas: Messiahs
Easter: Eggs
The Fourth of July: Redcoats
Halloween: Druids
St. Patrick's Day: Irish Snakes
MLK Day: Nope...not even I'm going there.

So, if they did not feed the pilgrims... then the millions of future settlers would have never left Europe... check.

yeah, T-Day being about genocide still makes no sense.

well. It is not as bad since it is safer to compare killing a bunch of turkey vs killing a bunch of trees.

But if you are talking about killing a bunch of people, that bring to a whole new level of argument.

I'm not going to feel guilty for something that has nothing to do with the original Puritan colonies. What Charlie is talking about is about as related to Thanksgiving as the London Blitz is to the Wright Brothers.

For all those non-Canadians, up here we call it "back bacon," probably because there's where it comes from on said pig. At least I hope that's why it's called that, and not from the head or something.

Oh, and up here, if you order "bacon" you get what you guys would recognize as bacon. It's the same. As I said, what you call "Canadian Bacon" is "back bacon" so unless you order that, you're 100% OK no matter where you go.
