My Thanksgivings are largely turkey free only because they’re not my favorite meat, but there’s usually a roasted bird on the table. If more of us felt like Sir Paul, the turkey farmers would have to go into the tofu business. And that’s just not the same thing at all.
[typography font="Merriweather" size="20" size_format="px"](AFP) Former Beatle Paul McCartney, a long-time vegetarian, has joined a campaign by animal rights group PETA to encourage Americans to celebrate a turkey-free Thanksgiving this week.[/typography]
The British rock legend, sporting a gray shirt with an “eat no turkey” design, is featured on the website of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
“This Thanksgiving, Paul McCartney is urging you to say ‘no, thanks’ to turkey and ‘yes’ to a delicious, cruelty-free holiday meal,” the group says.
I don’t care if he eats old gray socks and belly button lint; his choice! But the proselytizing gets old, especially when it comes from one of the most hypocritical organizations on the planet.
So. I sort of made it so Paul thanks the turkey for being low fat.
And while we’re on it, why does he look so full of himself all the time?
And why is it that vegans look so unhealthy?
I cannot understand how those crackpots at PETA find any support at all.
Good question! Sort of pale and drawn… and you’d think everyone would know about peta by now…
I’m not a big turkey fan either. Hosting family thanksgiving here this year (for only my parents-in-law, the boy, daughter #2, himself, and I – first time in ever. We are having Bar-B-Q ribs – that someone else is cooking. I’m doing everything else – but I’ve never ever cooked a turkey and I don’t plan to start now.
Celebs can kiss my hind end with their issue campaigns. They are almost all dumb as rocks so I’d care what they think why?
Yum! BBQ ribs!! Why don’t I have a drooling smiley?
I’ve cooked a scant few turkeys, but only because people were coming over.
If I was paid as much as him for making noise I would also have that face
Ahh… it’s all about the dough,not the bird…
Turkey!!! Nom nom nom … drool
Love me some Turkey, with mashed tators and gravy ….
drool
Just had a big breakfast at a diner… so I can’t drool right now… but if I could, it would be for tiramisu…
And you talk about me and my iPad – did you forget you bought for me?
I forget everything… and believe nothing.
I love turkey! But I respect those who choose not to eat. I just don’t want a fucking lecture if I choose to stuff my mouth with turkey or chicken or ham or prime rib or anything else. Had enough of that over the years when my little sis would go vegetarian on us. Or decide food HAS to be free-range. Or, heaven forbid, my diabetic dad decides to drink diet soda.
Anyone else think Paul’s pose is obama-esque?
THAT’S what it is; Obama-esque! I knew he reminded me of someone… some arrogant someone…
Money couldn’t buy him love. And it obviously didn’t buy him any common sense.
So much for his “I don’t care too much for money”
Dear Paul: Since England doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving Day, I’m sure you are unaware of this important holiday. In other words, leave our fucking turkey alone.
Damn straight!
Paul who?
Aw, c’mon! Paul McCartney?
Mike claims to not know the Beatles because [and this is where the story gets really weird] he was stuck in a boat underwater with 30 or 40 of ‘mates’. They were all working for some relative named ‘Sam’ and evidently it took years to ‘surface’ again.
Unless you were being ironic. In that case, never mind.
Truth is they had at least 3 #1 hits before I heard of them – also after 85 days submerged first sond I heard was Yellow Submarine – hated them since – I have no idea why a group that could not carry a tune were so great – I disliked the sound then and still do now – just like Stevie Wonder and Obama, it is just media hype and nothing else
Hey, the Beatles were GOOD.
I spent most of ’67 in Oak Knoll Naval Hospital and the barracks at Treasure Island after an injury. I managed to see, close up, the Summer of Love and the thousands of nice kids who ended up strung out on heroin and speed. Nice innocent kids who ended up selling themselves on the street to support their new habits.
The Beatles and the culture they helped make ruined hundreds of thousands of gullible kids can all go eat shit and bay at the moon. I met two of those who would have been superstars, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison in my wanderings through there, they both died young. I will stick to country, thank you. We have our share of bad boys but mostly they live long enough to grow old, Wille, Waylon, Johnny Cash.
People like Willie and Waylon have only grown old by the grace of a merciful God. Talk about hard living, hard playing people! And there are more in country music, who do drugs and drink heavily.
When I was young the Beatles were on the radio with Johnny Cash and Faron Young. Maybe it was the area that we lived in or just the station, but it was all mixed in together.
Of course, I was only 10 in ’67.
