I’m not sure which point to make on this one since it seems to have endless possibilities for critique and analysis. I guess I’ll start with my first impression when I heard the “news,” BO has swatted and killed a fly. “Got the sucker” he gleefully brags. This was the leading news for several web sites and even made it on the state run NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. Who else but the government run news sites would report such a meaningless event and actually call it news? After all, the MSM (for first timers this is main stream media), nightly news shows have only about 18 minutes (30 if you count the shamless capitalist commercials) to promote their ideas and call it news. You’d think they would come up with better use of their precious air time than to waste it on reporting that BO had killed a fly. Ok, that’s my first point. The second really makes the title of this blog entry true. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) picked up on the story and are actually protesting the vicious murder of the fly.
I told you, I couldn’t make this up. They’re marching in the streets protesting for the life of this fly. Are there screwed up or what? They actually sent the BO a small “fly trap” which allows the fly to be taken out doors and “set free.” In this category of insanity I think this one tops my report on saving the frogs earlier this year (March 17 entry). I report the facts, you decide.
