I'm watching the Today show and they just reported that PETA is pissed off at Obama because he swatted at and killed a fly during a television interview. They want him to use more humane ways to get rid of flies.

What's more humane than an instantaneous death?

Funny - will Ingrid Newkirk get upset at the bacteria and maggots that will be feasting on HER for eternity after she dies?

Why are we even shocked by this? It's probably a straight publicity grab. They know people will babble about PETA.

The actual video of him killing the fly is the best part of the whole thing:

QUOTE(Pymonte @ Jun 18 2009, 10:43 AM) Thank you. /thread. The better debate is regarding the effect of PETA's attention-grabbing stunts. It gets them recognition amongst the crazies, who give them money, but it keeps them fringe and irrelevant. Could they get more money otherwise? Maybe. But I think all these stupid stunts repeatedly prove that PETA has no interest in saving the world, as they have to know that these stunts will always prevent that from happening. |

On the other hand Peta are to be commended for getting various female celebrities to doff their clothes in protest. That said, *blblblblbllblblblblblbllblblblblbllblblbl*

I was going for the noise where you run your finger over your lips really fast to signify that someone is a bit mad.

Anyone catch the Colbert Report segment on this?
Jeff Goldblum appeared to lobby on behalf of flies, of course.
