Let us begin now with the cow
The way it gets to your plate and how
The cow doesn’t grow fast enough for man
So though his greed he makes a master plan
He has drugs to make the cow grow quicker
Through the stress, the cow get sicker
21 Different drugs are pumped
Into the cow in one big lump
Just before it dies, it cries in the slaughter full of germs and flies
Off with the head, they’ve packed it, drained it, and cart it
And there it is in your local supermarket
A corpse, neatly packed
And you wonder about heart attacks?
Since Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 2005, she never had the “farewell” song played for her, but this season, she’ll be singing it for everyone else sent home weekly.
Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home” has been chosen for the song that’s played while the losing contestant’s Idol experiences are portrayed on the screen.
In the past, tunes sung by former Idols Ruben Studdard and Chris Daughtry have been used as farewell songs.
Carrie’s version of the song will be available on iTunes March 16th, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Humane Society of the United States.
The vegetarian singer said in a press release:
“I’ve always loved this song, and besides being very fitting for Idol, to me, the title is also very fitting with animal rescue and finding animals their own homes.”
The singer has professed her love for animals in the past, even saying that she’d choose animals over men, because she’s found lots of good animals, but not a good man.
Comments Off on Bluewater Comic Gals Bare All In Anti-Fur Ad
Is PETA running out of famous ladies to take their clothes off? Now, comic book characters are being recruited.
A geek’s dream come true, the women of Bluewater Comics have volunteered to bare all against the fur industry.
You might be familiar with Bluewater comics for their sequels to some of Hollywood mythology like The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Clash of the Titans, and Jason and the Argonauts or their monthly 10th Muse books.
Characters featured here are Emma Sonnet from 10th Muse, Diana Moore of JudoGirl, Scarlet of VSS: Nemesis Rising, and Isis from the Legend of Isis.
Oh, if only mom knew the comics her son read in this day and age. And she was only worried about dirty magazines under the bed.
But in this new cute PETA ad starring Ricky Gervais and singer Pink, at least the animals lived through it to fight back.
Gervais plays the rabbit who snatches his fur coat back from a man, and Pink the alligator who claims a purse a woman is holding made from her skin. No word if she gave the cash back inside it or not.
Where does the brand name derive from? Are you a literature buff?
The theme of Macbeth, the Shakespearean play, tells of a basic truth, in that riches gained through unethical methods are less than worthless and we try to ingrain that in our company ethos. It is an amazing play and if anyone has not read it, we highly recommend you do. That theme and name are timeless and we want our company to be timeless too, so the name just stuck.
You’ve been quoted as saying ‘Macbeth is about challenging yourself to find that which inspires you to be better, do better and to live with greater meaning’. How can a humble sneaker do all of that?
Through its charitable works and vegan program, we feel Macbeth challenges people to be a better person and establish a greater meaning in their life. When someone purchases a certain pair of shoes, because a portion of the proceeds go to a charity they believe in or because they are animal cruelty free, that person is doing their little part in a greater goal for the betterment of society.
Is that why you went vegan-friendly as well?
When Macbeth first started, we were working with and taking inspiration from the growing hardcore scene. Bands like Bane, Alkaline Trio, American Nightmare, H20, and Sick of it All, all supported Macbeth and asked for vegan-friendly shoes. From there the vegan program expanded into what it is today, still working with several bands like AFI and Circa Survive that live by vegan ideals.
If you want to know how ErykahBadu got her vegan self on track to the best health, look no further than the cookbook written by her ex nutritionist, Afya Ibomu.
Afya worked with Badu in 2003, and now the lovely lady is a celebrity herself, with her recently published cookbook,The Vegan Soulfood Guide to the Galaxy.
It’s filled with all things soul food-sweet potato pie, buffalo wings, corn bread, collard greens, hearty cookies-veganized.
Afya’s mom switched her to a vegan diet as a child after she had so many illness like asthma and irritable bowel syndrome that weren’t responding to traditional medicines. An allergist suggested Afya’s diet might be contributing to her ailments, and the KRS-One song, “Beef,” also played a role in mom putting her foot down and saying, “No more meat Afya.”
Afya is the CEO of her holistic lifestyle company, Nattral Unlimited, LLC at www.NATTRAL.com. She lives with her husband, stic.man of the Dead Prez hip hop group, with their son, Itwela.
