Okay, this is just all kinds of wrong.
Michael Moore is making headlines with his controversial documentary, but one group is targeting the filmmaker for his waistline.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has selected the gadfly filmmaker as one of its “Flab Five” and is treating him to a Veg Eye for the Fat Guy makeover. “Looks like the ‘Downsize This’ author has been doing too much supersizing,” notes PETA.
“We’ll be sending him a nice little care package, a makeover kit filled with health and diet tips, PETA’s vegetarian starter kit, and suggestions on how he might change his lifestyle,” PETA’s Michael McGraw tells The Scoop.
American Idol winner Ruben Studdard is also getting targeted by PETA. “If ‘The Velvet Teddy Bear’ doesn’t want to become known as ‘The Velveeta Teddy Bear,’ he might want to idle his meat and dairy intake,” notes the group.
Wow! PETA's getting nasty! Nasty as a blogger!
...Wait. Did I say getting?
It's the cage match of the century! One's an activist force with the mass of ten thousand men, and the other is PETA! Who will win? No one knows! Which one's powers of ritualized self-loathing and shrill, offensive terrorist-like tactics can vanquish those of the other? It's too close to call!
Can they settle their differences and unite against their mutual enemy—the common man? Or will their respective philosophical stubbornness and fanaticism destroy them both, each making casualties of the other's fans?
We can but hope and pray!
