Topeka, Kan. — Hoping to prompt Topeka’s lunch crowd into realizing that whether fish, foul—or even Frank!—a corpse is a corpse, PETA will slather a 10-gallon-hat-wearing effigy of a cowboy with barbecue sauce and pretend to cook "him" on a mock grill downtown tomorrow. PETA’s point? That all animals are made of flesh, bone, and blood, just as humans are, and that eating meat entails eating the corpse of an animal who was an individual with feelings, a family, and a distinct personality. In addition to the "human barbecue," activists will hold signs that read, "Meat Is Murder," and give out delicious vegetarian riblet sandwiches to curious passersby:
Date: Wednesday, June 7 Time: 12 noon-1 p.m. Place: Corner of S.W. Eighth and S. Kansas avenues
"People are understandably revolted by the idea of eating a human corpse, which is exactly why they should also lose their appetites at the thought of eating an animal corpse—to smell them cooking, you can’t tell the difference," says PETA Campaign Coordinator Mike Brazell.

These idiots decided to wrap themselves up in a package to look like grocery store meet here in our town the other day... naked of course with stickers on the package over the pink parts.... to protest.
It was quite amusing watching them sweat under the heat for their lunacy.
Its one thing to advocate vegitarianism... thats fine.. its another to try to guilt people into your "right way" of thinking.
These folks are irrellevant.
mmmmmmmmmmmm......... bar b que!
"I am NOT an animal, I am a HUMAN BEING!" is the most famous quote of Joseph Merrick, aka "The Elephant Man."
A tribe of cannibals coundn't eat that in a year.
It may interest you to know that I went out for a walk at lunch just now, and passed by Ground Zero where there was a bum pushing a shopping cart that had a picture of Lucille Ball (that Commie) and that caption on the bottom. It was pretty spooky.
pita needs to spend all of their free time trying to force lions to eat tofu.
I saw a show about him a few months ago. I'm not sure whether it was neurofibromatosis, proteus syndrome or both.
"Delicious vegetarian riblet sandwiches"...
Yeah, those tofu and bean-curd sandwiches really hit the spot... BARF!
I always wait to witness the day a PETA member steps on an ant and cries him/herself into hysterics.
No problem. I probably should have highlighted that part in my first post. :^)
"I'm not an animal. "
Denial of the truth does not change the truth itself.
I was Positive someone would answer what was obviously hyperbole.
And I have heard that it was a horrendous smell. Some people cannot get it out of their heads. :^(
Is PETA's "cowboy" going to be skinned and drained of blood? Otherwise, there could be no comparison.
The last few nights I have BBQ'd both hamburgers and chicken legs. Tonight I am doing ribs. I assure those PETA people that they smell absolutely delectable and taste even better! MMMMMMmmmmmm good.
I smell it in my nightmares.
OMG...Motel Hell...I actually WENT to that movie!
Me and my friends still occasionally mention it today!
Ah, the religion of liberalism. Of course they aren't able to realize that God put animals on earth for food. But then, they are merely worshipping at the alter of themsleves, so its no suprise.
Me: "I'm not an animal. "
You: Denial of the truth does not change the truth itself.
Me: Wishful thinking on your part doesn't change the fact that you are a human being. Hey, be whatever animal you desire.
Nice catch Positive! Probably burned himself with a crack pipe or something.
I am so sorry. It must be awful to have those memories.
Those b*stards!
Ha! Thats what a friend of mine says about being in the Orchid Society.
I now work across the street, so not a day goes by when I am not forced to think of 911 several times.
