PETA Obama and the Fly.

See I told you people not to vote for that man. He is a killer plain and simple. He'll have us all swatting flies if he has his way.

Are they serious? Wow... I want to know how many of them have let a mosquito land on them, bite, and drink without smacking it.

Exactly. And can you imagine the disease problems we'd have if people actually thought like this?

I'm just saying PETA is REALLY in the wilderness without a friend on positions like this, and just about nobody knows this except reptile people it seems sometimes. I don't know how they get away with it..

Could they get any more ridiculous? PETA says they wish Obama had used a live catch trap on the fly he killed, and then released it outside.

I would hope that all the young hipsters who support them would recognize that they would make even flyswatters illegal if they could. I can't think of ANYONE who could support them on this. It boggles the mind.

Wow, that is pretty ridiculous...then again it's Peta so it's not too surprising. I stepped on some ants today, and I'm sure I killed countless insects just driving my car today. Do they make devices I can attach to my car to catch the insects so I can release them when my trip ends...or do Peta people just not drive?

Actually I do this once in a while, I like to watch 'em fill up, it's fascinating/weird to watch. I wish I could use a microscope and watch them fill up. I usually don't let them fly off though, don't need anymore of their little offspring flying around. Sometimes they even fill up too much to fly very well.

It was funny when the president asked the cameraman to zoom in on the fly to show how he got it, and then their it was dead on the floor. It was a pretty quick reflex reaction. I'm always proud when I get ones like that, I mean it's practically a sport. PETA getting all sensitive is just stupid and hypocritical. I don't think anyone believes that any PETA spokesperson has never swatted a fly.

"I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, "Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts," and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, "Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut." That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, "Would you stop naming nuts!" And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn't talk, but he'd go "rrrawr rrawr" and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it's also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut."
 
I'm glad they got publicly upset about it, it exposes them for being overly outspoken about issues simply for their own publicity. They're a lot like mosquito's in a way, they suck (blood), and spread harmful material with their mouths.
If they have cars they've inevitably killed bugs, check the grill! It's impulse to kill a mosquito that's biting you, and to try to be so preachy is ridiculous.
 
Heh, called this one two days ago when I first saw the tape.

PeTA is part of the axis of evil, sez I.

This should convince some people that PETA is more concerned with making noise and patting themselves on the back for being special than actually helping animals.
 
Oh, and they sell an alternative way to kill the fly.

Looks like a glorified cup on a stick with a peice of plastic to cover it- $8.00. I think they sent one to Obama. Whatever happened to using a cup and a peice of paper
 
I have no issue with the flyswatter, but I was jsut saying that you can get a bug out of your house without killing it without buying a cup on a stick from PETA.

Actually, it's not an alternative way to kill the fly. The cup goes over the fly, then you slide the cover between the wall and the cup. Then you release the fly outside- as they've designed it. I actually looked the thing up thinking it might be a great way to gather feeder insects, but it's pretty labor intensive, lol.
