UK Kat Von D Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Good little article here, worth checking out https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/09/my-beef-with-vegans-says-more-about-me-than-them-david-mitchell?CMP=share_btn_fb  I’ve been eating the best food ever the past week. New York has so many amazing options, excited for this to be common place all over the world Also, continuing something Keith said in  another thread about atheletes keeping it to themselves. Just seen Lewis Hamilton post about AR, if you read the comments you’ll see why people with larger followings avoid the topic  Edited December 9, 2018 by UK Kat Von D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted December 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 10, 2018 Just reading Romesh Ranganathans book and he has a few bits about being vegan and how it's had an effect of his work. Interesting reading I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting reading I thought. Had a look on google to see what he says on Veganism in general and a few bits popped up. Suggested searches where Ricky Gervias and Simon Amstel who I know about, but I had no idea Frankie Boyle was Vegan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted December 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 10, 2018 If Ricy Gervais is vegan I'm proud to frequent a butchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Don't you know, Butch? Â Yeah he loves all animals and calls hunters cunts. Â In fact he loves animals so much that he made Karl Pilkington eat live ones like a bush tucker trial so he could do his laugh! Â I think he might be a bit religious as well but he doesn't really mention that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 What's that twat Frankie doing lately? Still doing that left-wing turn for the libs who don't get Stewart Lee? Oh and, Crumbled Lotus biscuits in Alpro custard, possibly the least effort ever put in to making a pudding but it's bloody lovely. Try it.

WyattSheepMask Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Think he’s waded into poor man’s Bill Hicks territory and tried to add some political commentary to his act. At least that seems to be the consensus from reviews of his more recent shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Pilkington Vegan then? Because that’s the only way there would be an issue really. Otherwise he just made his mate eat a different type of flesh than he usually eats. Maybe that was filmed before Gervias went Vegan, pretty sure that program was yonks ago. Im not a fan of Boyle, but was surprised because he comes off as a classic “make easy jokes against the Vegans” type, which are usually pretty shit. Only comedian that has made me laugh at Vegan jokes is Joe Rogan when he described us as the most aggressive group of compassionate people ever.

I didn't even think he was a vegan, thought he was a vegetarian.  He is a cunt though, that much I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t be any more grossed out by the idea of eating a dog than eating a cow. I think people who only eat some animals and not others are the ones valueing one life above another. Just googled it and Idiot Abroad was 2010-2012. Gervias probably wasn’t Vegan then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people who only eat some animals and not others are the ones valueing one life above another That's exactly what he was doing, and what he still does, we agree.  Fair enough you and Gervais have your pick and choose approach and there is nothing wrong with that, but when he lambasts people for eating a particular kind of meat that he doesn't, that's when it becomes hypocritical.  You don't do that but he does, surprised you don't think it's an issue when he is the one valuing one animal over another. EDIT - By "Pick and choose" I meant the difference between inconsistency and hypocrisy, we are all inconsistent in what we do, I know I am, but what he does isn't inconsistency, it's hypocrisy.

Well if he is Vegan he is viewing all life the same. I don’t think Karl should have been made to eat a “unusual” meat for laughs, but I also don’t think he should be eating “regular” meat for his own enjoyment. What’s the difference from people enjoying a steak and people enjoying watching someone else eat something? An animal died unnecessarily that day either way.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep.  Exactly right, total consistency.  It's like the people who share a petition on Facebook against the Chinese dog meat festival but then post a picture of their Sunday roast.  I think where Gervais had someone smash a bag of frogs against a rock, like they were puppies in Oklahoma, just to watch Pilkington squirm and feel uncomfortable was a cuntish thing to do from someone who was at the time a supposed advocate for animal rights.

UK Kat Von D Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yeah that is really shitty. Like I said it depends how his outlook has changed in the last 8 years really before I form a strong opinion. If he did that stuff tomorrow I’d go full crazy vegan about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
