Family Makes Foul Discovery Inside Frozen Turkey

Who BIG DEAL, for pete's sake?

It's a TURKEY, for heaven's sake. IT HAD A HEAD AT ONE TIME.

I don't know what it is about Americans (some) who freak out and go knock-kneed whenever they realize something they are about to eat has a head on it.

I've seen it in Asia. (some Yanks want us to take them over to any nearby Korean market just so they can take photos of the pig's heads lined up).

The first thing we as Americans get rid of on a fish before cooking is the head. Yet in Asia (China, on billion people, India one billion people), the parts around the cheeks are the richest and best part (on large fish). Cooked fish rarely have a head missing. I don't know what the big thing deal is.

I guess some people don't want to be reminded that what they are about to eat at one time was alive, and killed by man. What else is new?

You wrote: There's actually a media outlet somewhere that puts out "heartwarming" Thanksgiving stories? Most of them seem to run two kinds of stories on Thanksgiving: 1. "How dare you sit there in your warm living room with a full stomach when there are homeless people starving thanks to Bush's tax cuts for the rich!!!
2. "How dare you sit there in your warm living room with a full stomach when Bush is blowing up Iraqi babies in his illegal oil war!!!!!"

Well I recognize those stories you described, but my local media puts a special "red-state" twist on them to make them more heartwarming and values-oriented.

Our stories like your #1 have a heartwarming ending where the made-poor-by-Bush-tax-cuts starving person gets a delivery of hot turkey and stuffing courtesy of a Titans team member.

Since our media reaches to the families of Ft. Campbell, KY soldiers, the stories like #2 sound more like "How dare you sit there in your warm living room with a full stomach when Bush is making these nice young men and women blow up Iraqi babies in his illegal oil war!!!!!" Then we get to see the nice young man take a break from blowing up Iraqi babies so he can send Happy Thanksgiving wishes to grandma.
