PETA + Che Guevera’s granddaughter = Political Ipecac
What could be more stomach-turning than a radical animal rights group that has a snit fit over a swatted fly paying homage to a mass-murdering Marxist guerilla? Yep. PETA has teamed up with Che Guevara’s granddaughter to pimp the “vegetarian revolution.”
Not going to post the photo of their new ad campaign. Click here if you must for the full story and the image that will have you begging for an airsickness bag. And eye bleach:
The granddaughter of Cuban revolutionary leader Ernesto “Che” Guevara is at the forefront of another revolution — for vegetarianism.
Lydia Guevara poses semi-nude in a PETA campaign that tells viewers to “join the vegetarian revolution,” said PETA spokesman Michael McGraw…
…In the ad, Lydia Guevara wears camouflage pants, a red beret, and bandoliers of baby carrots while standing with one fist on her hip and the other outstretched.
“It very much evokes the tag line of the ad, which is ‘Join the vegetarian revolution,’” McGraw said. “It’s an homage of sorts to her late grandfather.”

She would probably kill people to save the animals.
Actually, it’s kind of funny, since it shows how PETA and Madison Avenue can debase symbols of Marxist radicalism much as they debase the symbols of our own country.
LOL. I honestly think that at some point in the not-to-distant future advancements in bio-tech will enable us to grow perfectly-marbled and succulent chunks of cow and pig meat in vats for cheaper than the real thing. This will have the effect of rendering any animal rights issues (legitimate or otherwise) completely moot.
Please pass the whale burger. K thx bai.
This is what happens when a person’s moral compass is busted – anything goes. Welcome to the 60’s all over again, except this time they’re in charge.
Seriously, PETA has tofu for brains.
Next they’ll sign up one of Mansons offspring to promote the “save the Flies foundation”.
I myself think the Carrot Bandolier is pretty lololol.
Nuke the Gay Baby Homeless Whales
Fitting for the 18 – 30 Obama voting crowd.
A little off topic, but it’s important:
Has that stupid ass of a so-called-president had any response to NKorea’s threat his supposed “birthplace” Hawaii? Or has he taken the fifth on that, as well?
Hawaii is so far left, they fall off the political map. I wonder if these events are giving them buyer’s remorse. (Probably not.)
Yeah, too bad it wasn’t made out of peas.
Where is Bugs Bunny when you need him…???
Really, as late as it is, I had to go eat some smoked turkey as a fitting protest.
Only one problem, Zeroangel, the animal rights activists could still attach some kind of spiritual meaning to the new bio-tech-raised meat that would still make it reprehensible to eat it, and you would be back to square one.
Every person in America ought to mail a package of hot dogs to PETA headquarters at:
PETA
501 Front Street
Norfolk, VA 23510
I would personally mail the hot dogs parcel post to make sure it took a long time to get there.
What a bunch of lunatics.
love2rumba:
I recall reading about this. IIRC, PETA is split right down the middle on the vat-grown meat issue. Also, I think I read the President of PETA is fine with it.
In any case, I said it would render animal rights issues moot, of course I realize that there will always be radicals (PETA or otherwise).
Vat-grown meat? If PETA didn’t object and launch a crusade then some government bureaucrat would insist that it be regulated and taxed at some obscene rate. And shortly after the product hit the market they would be warning us of the dangers of “partially hydrogenated vat.”
The folks worrying about those flies over there hanging out at the dumpster waiting to follow my neighbors dogs around won’t be changing my carnivorous tastes. Mongrels taking their clothes off won’t do it either.
What is it that they call females who try to earn money with their bodies again? Papa must be so proud of his little girl.
Mark Levin had an interesting discussion with a PETA spokesman last night. The guy’s bio is colorful.
I wonder if PETA would object to Obama killing a fly that had been created in vitro?
Vat meat? sorry, I’ll take Prime Rib Roast slowly BBQ’ed.
Vat Meat….. give me a flippin break.
Like a fungus feeding off a dying plant, so we have PETA, ably assisted by the brightest minds in advertising, scavenging off a bankrupt ideology. Next, for a few dollars more, they can get Bernie Madoff to advise us not to invest in fur coats.
Does the IDIOT from PETA who called into Mark Levin’s show NOT understand that INSECTS are NOT ANIMALS? How stupid do you have to be to become a spokes-animal for PETA?
Of course PETA pervs are insane. They’ll declare war on anyone opposing the rescue of an amoeba, but will be the first ones to pitch a tent at an abortion rally.
Really, really, super stupid.
Paris Hilton on the low end and LGM on the high.
Hey Lydia, dear Lydia, the tattooed lady, You’re grandfather died squealing like a fat pig and I’m going to go have a nice fat juicy steak and think of you and the PETA freaks,
(Well maybe after I get over this darn Summer cold,)
Wait, I personally believe Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson are way smarter than Little Gullible Moron…
ajmontana:
I would agree with you if the vat-grown meat were not identical to Prime Rib. My contention is that technology will eventually become available such that you could grow Prime Rib identical in every way just without the rest of the cow.
As I said, this kind of technology (which is becoming less and less sci-fi) will render any of PETA’s arguements moot.
Insects are not mammals, they are animals.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal#Ecdysozoa
Is Mark Levin truly The Great One or not? He is second only to Rush. If only Hannity had the intellect of Mark Levin or even Jessica Simpson.
Now I need a Whopper after listening to that audio clip from Levin…
I do agree though, insect lives are hardly worthy of any consideration at all.
After two glasses of Sangria I declare that insects are NOT MANIMALS, er NOT MAMINALS, er NOT WORTH WORRYING ABOUT…
zero, sorry, I know a certain ex ball player who raises his own cattle and can garauntee you I will never ever eat Vat Meat, ever. You can probably take it to the bank that something will end up very very wrong with Vat Meat.
If you eat too much vat-meat you will probably get VAT…
ajmontana:
The term “vat meat” might be decieving. Technology might make it possible for example to “grow” a brainless cow, do you follow me?
Could things go wrong? Sure. As it stands right now though, regular cows are already pumped full of so much hormones, genetic tampering, etc. I really don’t see the issue.
Good grief, technology has already advanced to the level that we can grow brainless Senators, Representatives and Presidents. It can hardly be more difficult to grow a brainless cow…
OK, I chuckled. Guilty pleasure.
Moooooove to adjourn…
lol, cows are bovine, pretty much brainless already.
Real men eat real cows.
Lol @ wareagle, might get Vat.
I must admit zero it is Vatscinating, just not for me.
I disagree. My uncle was a dairy farmer and I spent a little time on a cattle ranch once. I know something about Bovine Intelligence and Bovine Flatulence. Cows are several orders of magnitude more intelligent than Leftists and far less smelly…
Heh.
OK, you are on a roll WE82.
ajomontana:
WRT to “things going wrong,” eventually all the bugs will be worked out. I wouldn’t have wanted to get on the first commercial airliner either, but after several years, “grown” meat will be completely safe.
It’s really not all that important; the technology is still several years away. In the current time, while I can appreciate the idea that it’s wrong to be unnecessarily cruel to animals, if killing for food is good enough for a lion; it’s good enough for me.
PETA is way out in left field, there is no doubt.
However, I guess my point is as follows: we all show some concern for animals in some form. Bovines are no more stupid then canines, however, I certainly can recognize my family dog has feelings of a kind, and I certainly don’t want to eat him. They are “pretty much brainless” not completely. We all can recognize that it’s far better to use a bolt gun to the head then anything else and many hunters stick by the mantra, “don’t kill it if you aren’t going to eat it.”
All that said, in my mind, “grown” meat will solve all those issues, plus it will likely be more cost effective at some point.
OK, until tomorrow.
What exactly is the vegetarians’ beef with Obama killing a fly. He didn’t eat it, at least not on camera.
Pass the Vat and the Texas Pete.
I ate some chicken. It’s was good.
That photo is to die for!!!
I’d swear it came from the old Saturday Night Live, back when they were doing fake ads like for the cereal “Colon Blow”!
As the saying goes: somebody left the irony on.

Why do you even entertain the thought of placating to lefty morons? Remember one thing…the left is never satisfied with a victory, they ALWAYS COME BACK FOR MORE. This is the reason they have such a grab on every aspect of our lives today – we gave in too often without standing on principles.
(Hello waitress. I’ll take the bacon cheeseburger with barbecue sauce, curly fries, and iced tea please.) Lydia Guevara, nice picture there. (Pass the ketchup please.) Your crazy grandpa would be proud. (More tea, please.) But, I’m sure he’d be proud that you, like he did, found a cause for which you’re so passionate. (That was delicious. Another bacon cheeseburger to go please.) By the way, since you only eat rabbit food, that leaves more meat for me. (Well looky here! Deer season opens today! I’d better clean my rifle!)
If we ever switch to vat meat, cows will go extinct. I’ve been around them for 30+ years and they serve no purpose other than food. There are no wild herds of cattle out there. Domestication has bred all of the smarts out of them.
Well, most of them.
I second that motion! This is udderly ridiculous!
jangar:
Who’s placating anyone? Are you telling me that you would want to continue to raise and slaughter livestock even if it were completely unnecessary?
Just because I think PETA is a bunch of lunatics doesn’t mean I think it’s OK to put m80’s is cat’s a$$’s for fun (for example).
Another lefty crusade is to end war entirely. Are you telling me that if a technology became available that made it possible to render all an enemies weapons harmless and placate all his people therefore making war unnecessary you would NOT use it and would prefer to just do it the old fashioned way?
I already mentioned that some PETA lunatics would likely say eating “grown” meat is wrong. Who cares?
John:
Agree. So what? I don’t care about extinction of anything really. The remaining ones can live out their lives and that will be the end of it. I don’t care about extinction of cows, I just think if we don’t have to kill them for food that would be a good thing.
Thanks for the laugh.
VAT meat??? is just crazy..only a left-wing peta wacko would even consider eating it.
I’ll stick to real food…
hhhmmmm puppy soup. The tears of pain from tenderizing them before slaughter make the soup taste so good….
just teasing the peta crowd.
In addition to “vat-meat” or “in vitro meat” scientists are working on developing a cow with no legs!
This new type of cow will be called “ground beef.”
sonofdy:
I ate dog soup in Korea once. It wasn’t bad.
How do you know the dog in the soup wasn’t bad? Was it hot dog soup or was it served cold? Did your soup have fleas?
This thread is really going to the dogs…
WE82:
Do you mean because I didn’t have any other dog soup to compare with to determine it relative tastiness or do you mean whether or not the slaughtered dog in question was a moral individual?
*smile*
Veggies are what meat eats.
R4L:
Sometime in the not-to-distant future, when you are an old, doddering fool (as opposed to being a young doddering fool) your kids or grandkids will take you out for some “grown” steak. Since it will be completely identical to “raised” meat in everyway and likely much better, you will probably comment it’s the best steak you ever had.
cows eat veggies, pigs eat veggies, lambs eat veggies, most varieties of seafood eat veggies or single cell organisms which all leftists know aren’t an animal yet, so i choose to skip the middleman and go straight to the preprocessed veggies. my jaws are too old and tired to chew veggies all day when i can chew a steak and avoid the flatulence.
I just hope my steak is grown in “Vat 69.”
If God didn’t want people to eat animals He wouldn’t have made them out of meat!
I am a charter member of “People Eating Tastey Animals!”
I remember when margarine was supposed to be so good for ya…then it turned out to be loaded with trans-fat..
why would anyone even want to try to synthesize meat, or any other type of food? we know how to raise, or grow, food very well..
you can have your ‘franken-food’
PETA.ORG used to be a parody site with that theme…it was funny as hell!
I think peta sued, or bought him out or something…
Sixty posts and no Soylent Green comments?
I am so disappointed in all of you. You just sit there and think about what you’ve done.
I have looked at the PETA’s ideology & I don’t think the idea of meat grown in a lab is on their agenda…
If they are purist about it, they will admit that they don’t actually want anyone to associate ‘flesh’ with food. No matter how it’s grown.
That’s why I don’t understand ‘vegetarians’ eating soy made into ‘burgers’. If you don’t eat meat why do you want to eat something that looks like meat?
Personally, I think her grandfather already got the “homage” he deserved, a round to the head in a Bolivian jungle.
John:
Well, since you mentioned it: “grown” meat will likely allow us to taste such delicacy’s as tiger, polar bear, dolphin, and… people.
No doubt ethicists will have a good ‘ole time with the implications.
R4L:
Margarine is not identical to butter. “Grown” meat will eventually be composed of the exact same cells, structure, etc. It will be identical in every single way. These reason why you would “want” to is because it will eventually be cheaper and you won’t have to keep, raise, or slaughter livestock anymore. Why would anyone NOT want to do this?
spaceycakes:
http://www.peta.org/feat_in_vitro_contest.asp
That site is locked for me from work, maybe you could tell us what it says.
from the link:
Sounds like they’re now trying to be ‘all things to all men’, if I may cast my pearls before swine…as it were.
spaceycakes:
Their grandstanding aside, they support “grown” meat, (at least officially) correct?
It would appear so
cheaper? doubtful. it would take an enormous effort to get to that point..and who knows what kind of contaminants it would contain, or what it would do to you…there is not a chance it would ever be commercially viable..why take a chance with something like mad cow???
humans have been raising/killing animals since we were created…its worked pretty well..why change what works??
europe doesn’t want genetically modified crops…and you think anyone would want ’synthesized’ meat?? yuck
R4L:
It is possible you are correct. It is possible that it will never become viable or commercially feasible. The fact is, the money being spent on it for research is wholly negligible in the long run and IF it does become viable (which I think it will) why wouldn’t one want to use it?
What? You are arguing something based on what Europeans think. This is a whole new approach for you.
given all the resistance to genetically modified crops around the world, not just europe, it would make anyone think more than twice about brewing up ‘meat in a vat’
I actually can’t imagine anyone would be trying to do this…do you have any links??
because its not natural…it could have some contaminants that we don’t fully understand like prions, or something worse….I’d wait about 30 years of other people eating it before I try it…
As long as we’re dreaming of future food tech, I want them to do a Jurassic Park on the dodo bird.
I hear that they were pretty tasty.
R4L:
…which is groudless. Crops and animals genetically modify themselves naturally all the time.
Always a good place to start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-vitro_meat
…I’m sure you can follow the footnotes.
I’d generally agree. I also wait a few years before upgrading to Windows new operating system. This just makes good sense. It doesn’t mean that Vista will ALWAYS suck.
R4L:
…besides, “grown” meat doesn’t have to be genetically modifed.
R4L:
I forgot:
Oh come on. Neither is flying planes or the Internet.
neither is Al Gore. The man is clearly some kind of alien body snatcher.
Let me pick on PETA for a minute.
Those things are mostly associated with starches and sugars which are found in plants, not animals. You could eat just fat and be much healthier than if you ate just sugar.
b-cat:
I generally don’t take the “more healthy” argument seriously anyway.
Even if it were true I just don’t care. Bacon tastes so good.
zeroangel
I agree. Now, who wants more Vat?
If vat meat became more affordable, it would simply become the food of the poor.
Real meat would become the luxury food of the elite. Algore and the limo libs would eat it, but we wouldn’t get to.
interesting, but I wouldn’t eat it, if they ever come out with it.
and I don’t eat computers or planes…thats why organic food is so popular…I tend to be careful about what I ingest.
as far as bacteria and other contaminants…I think we should irradiate our meat and veggies…that would kill the organisms…I have no problem with that, but I cannot imagine eating something grown in a vat…
R4L:
Fair enough. I didn’t realize you were so careful with your diet. Do you eat fast food? Snacks?
then I read this…
if PETA is for it, then I am against it….
I think food irradiation is a great idea. It increases shelf life and does not alter nutritional value. There is no lingering radiation, contrary to the paranoid people’s assertions. It also eliminates (or at least reduces) the need for artificial preservatives.
I’d like to know how many PETA members are Pro-Choice.
Kill a baby, but save the flies and gnats!
R4L:
No doubt PETA is also against eating people. Do you have an issue with that as well?
Of course, irradiation wouldn’t work for yogurt and other food which are supposed to have live cultures.
Food irradiation sounds great to me.
right4life ~ good point
How many carbon offsets must you buy to produce fake chicken???
Come on down to your local PETA office to try our new product:
Soylent Green!
every once in a while..I don’t do much dairy, avoid salt if possible, like no-salt bread, which doesn’t taste as good as regular bread, but I watch my salt intake…take quite a few supplements…don’t each much red meat anymore….
I’ve been lifting a long time now..so I tend to watch what I eat…
I consider PETA to be left-wing wacko trash…I’d like to have one of them throw paint on my leather jacket…
R4L:
I also consider them to be crazy. It doesn’t mean they are wrong about every single issue. Just because their lunacy leads them to think in-vitro-meat is a good thing doesn’t mean I have to disagree.
I’m sure there will be a few folks like you that will insist on “real” meat. Likely there will always be a few animals raised for slaughter for you and others. That’s fine with me. I like the idea of in-vitro-meat.
I’ll stick with regular food…thanks!
its worked all these years…
What are the odds that a new type of meat will taste like chicken?
LOL
b-cat:
If it’s in-vitro-meat they will use chicken cells to grow it and therefore it will be chicken.
