Ridiculous Boycot of the evil KFC

Article

The Rev. Al Sharpton will not eat at KFC and he doesn't think you should either.
Starting today, Mr. Sharpton is joining forces with the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to urge a boycott of KFC, which is owned by Yum Brands of Louisville, Ky. Mr. Sharpton and PETA want the fast food chain to require its chicken suppliers to put in place new standards for the treatment of the 750 million chickens they process for KFC every year in the United States. The rap mogul Russell Simmons is also joining the Sharpton campaign.


I am so sick and tired of hearing these freakin hippies whine about us eating animals. I have a professor who was a missionary in Africa, and the people there used to say "Oh yeah you're from America...Save the whales and kill the babies." When will these people make up their minds? Is life precious or isn't it?

If we give our money to KFC, we're paying for a life of misery for some of God's most helpless creatures," says Mr. Sharpton in an eight-minute video that will be shown outside KFC's around the country.

Some of God's most helpless creatures? Fine, let's just not eat and give all of the money to Planned Parenthood instead. Give me a break.
