Why not?
So this is meant to be an ad for becoming a vegetarian. Personally, I don't buy it. It is true that we eat other animals, but there is a huge difference between a cow and a dog. First off, I just don't think that a cow makes a very good pet. This is not to say that you can't have a pet cow; indeed, some people do have pet cows. But you can't play fetch with a cow, you can't pick up a cow or summon one up onto the bed. You can't play chase with a cow, or have a cow bring you your newspaper and slippers. Cows don't bark when the doorbell rings. Pretty much the only four things cows are good for are:
- Milk
- Beef
- Fertilizer
- Cow tipping
I mean, seriously, do the vegetarians of the world really think that showing me a picture of a dof sitting on a plate is going to make me foresake my meat eating ways? No, that ad is not going to have any such effect. In fact, I am now more inclined to go out and find a good piece of meat to eat. I have nothing against vegetarians in general, just against some of their "recruitment" methods. I think we should start a carnivorous movement. We need to start a picket line outside of Vegetarians-R-Us. We must have plenty of material to hand out, preferably showing people enjoying a juicy hamburger. When they see what they're missing, the vegetarians will change their ways almost instantly, I am sure.
