While trying not to make any cultural condemnations whatsoever, I will say that I find this really, really, really, really, really gross. http://www.hindustantimes.com/nonfram/260402/dLSPO03.asp "They will enjoy it instead of Coke." Uhhh, I think I'll stick to more "traditional" canned beverages, thank you.
some people are just stupid...next year i plan on giving away fermented sweat outside key arena before sonics games to fight the predjudice against fermented sweat...
It's nice to know our very own pets might be candidates for Korean entrees. I think Korea needs to get their act together and figure out that eating cats and dogs is deemed unacceptable and gross to alot of people. I wish they would find something else to feed on. And, the fact that their trying to serve up dog juice to persons who may be foreign and not get what it is until they drink it is despicable and disgusting conduct. They better be clear on what it is their serving and to offer that instead of coke....what a joke. The two can't even compare...sugar water w/ coloring versus dog meat juice? Yeah....over my dead dog's body. Just the thought of them offering dog meat juice to an American to help them better understand how it is considered a delicacy in their country when it is considered a cherished, loved pet we wouldn't think of eating in ours...makes me shudder. Nice to know French high school students are so open minded....wonder what else they will eat. Sorry....my prejudice isn't going anywhere. It's still intact. Maybe I'll juice it out and offer it to the fellow BBSers to drink. You like?
Simple...cows are ugly...Think about the main meats that Americans eat. Cow: Ugly Chicken: Ugly Pig: Ugly Fish: Ugly Turkey: Ugly There are some game animals that are pretty, like deer and rabbit, but they aren't consumed by the majority of Americans. There is a SEVERE prejudice towards ugly animals, and I tend to stop it!! The only exception I can think of to the ugly rule is lamb (L-i-i-i-i-s-a-a-a-a! P-l-e-e-e-e-a-a-a-a-a-s-e d-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-n-t e-e-e-e-e-a-a-a-a-t m-e-e-e-e-e-e-e! I thought you l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-v-e-d m-e-e-e-e-e-e!)
I've always wondered the same thing. I'm sure there are Hindus that thing we're pretty bad people for eating cows. I admit, the thought of eating dog meat does make me shudder a bit, but it's only because I've been raised to think so I guess. Hey if dogs and cats are what you have to eat, then have at it... I know I really don't have anything against it. I'm sure there are people that think eating chickens, rattlesnakes, alligators, and cows are revolting, too. I'm sure all the vegetarians are chuckling as they read this.
....and at the other end of the spectrum... http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,51340,00.html 'Boozehounds' Belly Up to the Bar Monday, April 29, 2002 By Catherine Donaldson-Evans NEW YORK — At select bars across the country, people are heading to happy hour with their best friends. Never mind that these friends prefer biscuits to bar pretzels, and bowls of water to mugs of beer. Pet-friendly happy hours have become popular in places like New York, Chicago, Carmel, Calif., and Alexandria, Va. "We want to spend time with our companion animals — we lead busier lives than ever," said Steve Dale, host of Animal Planet Radio. "This is a good thing to do. You can come home for your dog and go to the bar with him afterwards." Chicago has a biannual "Pug Crawl," where pug dogs and their owners bound from bar to bar to socialize and snap up treats. In Carmel, Calif., Doris Day and her partners founded the Cypress Inn, a pet-friendly hotel that accepts animals as guests and allows them to attend breakfast, afternoon tea and happy hour. In New York, busy dog owners living in cramped quarters with their pooches can take them to places like Von in Greenwich Village, which permits pups to mingle off-leash. And the Holiday Inn Select Old Town in Alexandria has a "Doggie Happy Hour," with a buffet of biscuits and a cooler of ice water. Dog owner Erica Isaac said the pet-friendly bars offer a way to keep up her lifestyle and get her dog, Detroit, out of their small digs. "I integrate my dog into my life," said the 27-year-old New Yorker. Some don't like the idea, and say pet owners have gone overboard. "Some people are overly reliant on their pets," said Scott Stuckmann, 36, of Atlanta, who suffers from bad dog and cat allergies. "It goes too far." The growth of pet-friendly businesses can make non-animal people feel like their rights aren't as important. "I have a right to be free of pets and not to be subject to that," Stuckmann said. Some animal owners agree. Bringing pets to a bar is "a luxury, not necessarily a right," Isaac said. "If anyone [were] uncomfortable, I would probably get up and leave." That hasn't stopped the fad. Timothy Ruth, food and beverage director of the Holiday Inn Select in Old Town, said the "Doggie Happy Hour" has taken off since it began four years ago. "We decided to capitalize on happy hours for people walking their dogs," Ruth said. "Dogs are very social animals and so are the people who typically have dogs." The event, held in the hotel's outdoor courtyard, offers a chuckwagon buffet, Frisbees and tennis balls for the dogs. And it seems animals are such an effective social lubricant that some non-pet owners have found creative ways to work their way into the scene. "There've been more single people without dogs showing up, and people borrowing dogs," said Ruth. A hotel desk manager said some adventurous guests even bring their pet felines along. "Cats don't usually travel well, so most people don't bring their cats, but if they do, they have them either in a cage or in their lap," he said. The pets don't always get along, of course, and scuffles inevitably break out. But pet-friendly venues usually have rules, like requiring leashes, to minimize those incidents. "It can be very dangerous," said Stuckmann. Dale said it's important for pet owners to be responsible with their pets as well as their drinks. "People who have dogs that cannot behave should not be bringing their dogs to these places. If your dog is even slightly questionable, leave him at home."
is that from a simpson's episode except with dog meat juice replaced with something else that seems disgusting and the other person says "ewww mountain dew"
