Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 4, 2018 Paid Members Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Instead of just eating a chicken sarnie, put some tomato sauce on it as well, because it might be a bit dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fog Dude Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'm a vegetarian, but one with no time for PETA's publicity-hungry misplaced priorities. I use the first of those phrases nearly every day and don't have a problem with the rest. The alternative suggestions get sillier as they go along. It's almost as if words are less important than actions. If only there were a popular saying to remind people of that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTH17 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Had to check that actually came from an account with a following of over a million people. It genuinely reads more like a parody. It's gotten them publicity though, albeit for an idiotic post, which is all they're after - so kudos to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 PETA have done some very questionable stuff, in the grand scheme of things that really isn’t a big deal. It appears to be a light hearted way of getting people to think about a topic. They are using a ‘popular’ debate about words/labels to get people talking. Like most “political correctness gone mad” stuff, this is pretty harmless to anyone not looking to be offended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I actually prefer the alternative “bringing home the bagels”. Plus it makes more sense with bagels being made of dough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted December 5, 2018 Paid Members Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) The opening post is just the latest example of PETA's particular brand of attention seeking stupidity. As Maxwell said, can't really be arsed with getting offended by it unless you want to. The follow up where they try and compare racist and homophobic language to things like SuperBacon's username goes beyond that and isn't on.

The Maestro Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 These sound like the sort of things Ricky from Trailer Park Boys would say. All in all, it's pretty daft and will just fuel the "PC Gone Mad" brigade even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I wouldn't say I'm offended at the fact that this "light-hearted" post is trying to draw comparisons between language using animals with racism and homophobia, but it's certainly not the kind of road anyone would want to go down, surely?
