Cows, Chickens
Am I the only one bothered by this long-running Chik-fil-A ad campaign featuring cows trying to talk people into not eating them and eating the chickens instead? I'm not a vegetarian, and I love Chik-fil-A sandwiches. Chik-fil-A employees are the best in the fast food business, as far as I have seen. And I even admire the organization for keeping to their tradition of observing the Christian Sabbath and for offering college scholarships. It creeps me out, however, that we are supposed to find it funny that a creature would put on a little soft shoe to keep from being devoured. And please, please forgive me for asking "what about the children?", but, really, what about the children? To laugh at something bargaining for its existence seems to me to be the ethos of the bully. (Uday Hussein comes to mind.)
I'm sounding like a moralizing prig, so I'll stop here.
