Miscellaneous Prats and Outsiders and Unfocused Rage29 Jun 2008 03:29 pm

Thanks to Mike for pointing me at this thread over at MEN. It’s a very brief article about Hugh thingamajig who was trying to get Tesco to be nice to chickens. This is a bit like asking a handbag full of icecream to give a lecture on the role of neurotrophic factors in the growth of motor neurons. Even if it was willing, it’s just not equipped to pull it off.

The comments thread seems to have turned into a competition to see who can say the stupidest thing.

And who is going to pay for the difference in price?

Indeed. Ever since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights we have all been entitled to lumps of vaguely-chicken-like white stuff for under £1 and we’re not about to give that up.

The housewife has a choice either a chicken for Sunday lunch or mash and sausages. It don’t take rocket science to know which one.

So how DO you decide without a rocket scientist on hand??

Well i’m NOT gonna change;with the rising cost of food cheap chicken(and not how it was fed/killed/ slaughtered/prepared etc because I DON’T CARE AS DON’T MANY PEOPLE ON BUDGETS)is the ONLY OPTION FOR ME AND I DON’T CARE EITHER.

I’m all in favour of people like Anthony. As the oil runs out and meat prices continue to soar, idiots like him are going to be fighting over nuggets of tasteless reformed chicken-scrapings, leaving the last few tasty cow arses for the rest of us to gnaw on.

It’s only a chicken for god’s sake who cares how it lived its life?
Not me for sure

    On the subject of battery chickens:

    Really, some kid in Banglahore is not my problem, if they can get some kid in Sudan or Zambabwe to make the same T-shirt at £4, I will be getting it instead.

    I like how the only third-world countries he can think of are the ones that get mass-murdered on his telly.

    If they were not in cages we would have scallies turning to chicken rustling to fund their nasty habits.

    And if we don’t test cosmetics on bunny rabbits illegal immigrants will get in through the fence.

    I’ve just got back from a week’s holiday and read 21 SYB posts in one go. Grim.

    I thought about going on holiday again, but I realise that there’s ultimately no escape from these people. Jesus.

    “S P in exile” of course I know which one I’d choose, bangers and mash is much more appetising than chicken you have to put loads of gravy over to make it even taste of something.

    And S P is in exile? From where? Deport them, deport them I say! leave all the battery chickens for English people to eat!!

    We are so high up the evolutionary ladder that we have Topsy fucking Turvy on the internet. It’s a fact of life. It’s not rocket science. You couldn’t make it up. Next.

    “If it’s humane to cut an animals head half chop it into pieces, burn and eat it, what difference does it make what size room it goes in.” - Ministry of Truth Spokesman (formerly MC Spanner)

    Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum, can I stay at Mr Spanner’s house for tea? PLEASE?

    I also like to read the work of someone ill-educated enough to believe that the Ministry of Truth is a good thing, and self-regarding enough to claim to work for it. I suspect that he will be turn out to be a goldmine, a brief Google immediately turns up this: “If you don’t like [the Royal Family, I think], pick another one of the EU Countries and go and live there”. Jackpot straight out the hat. The buffoon.

    Anthony’s unconvincing, repeated claim that he “doesn’t care” is failing to conceal the fact that actually he cares too much. That’s right: he is actually having sexual relations with our feathered friends. It is this that gives him his acute insight. You read it here first.

    Hah, I had the fortune to encounter another of MC Spanner’s comments the other day, he’s an utter gnarwhal’s mound.

    I like to think that this isn’t a rhetorical question- and he genuinely needs to find out before he can make an informed decision.

    It says all you need to know about these… I can’t even think of a word to discribe them… so selfish and stupid and…. Arrg.

    Oh Yes. Now that is a text book self-wind-up post that every schoolboy could learn from. A beautiful ascent of the rage curve by this talented lad from the north. look how he approaches the anger ramp at a nice fast past, flicks the CAPS LOCK on effortlessly as the adrenalin kick ins, he starts to spiral, jettisons his logic thrusters and rockets off into the stratosphere shouting textbook teenage rants. A definite gold hope for Beijing. World Class.

    Lest we forget the use of the frequently overlooked semicolon- placed with such beautiful regard for traditional punctuation.

    What a hero.

    If the articles that originally sparked such debate had focussed less on animal welfare and more on “You are what you eat” (ie. the drugs they pump into battery animals are reputed to cause a whole rainbow of health problems in humans), I’m wondering if there’d still be the flood of “I DON’T CARE!11ONE”

    “FORCING US TO BUY CHEAP CHICKEN, IT’S A CONSPIRACY TO KILL OFF THE POOR!!!11 YOU COULDN’T MAKE IT UP?!?!!”

    “Battery Chickens”.

    I always felt that battery chickens were the answer to global warming. You can see the scene now:

    “Power’s dipping a bit there Fred”,
    “No probs, just plug in a fresh chicken”.

    Failing that, what is cheaper, a ton (or tonne) of coal or the same weight of chickens, ’cause if it’s chickens then we should be switching to a chicken-based fuel in all our coal fired power stations.

    Now I’m off for a lie-down.

    Wibble.
