I don't know what deity was responsible for the picture to come down on her head, but it makes me want to turn religious - too good to be coincidence! (Then again, maybe not)

That's pretty blatant..as blatant as Tebow scoring 316 yards last game. The God I know, Jesus Christ, will let you know that there is no such thing as coincidence, and that you're here for a reason. Place your trust in Him and pray and ask Him for the truth.
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Don't get me wrong: I am sure this was coincidence and NOT "god's will". The situation just had that scripted flavour, it makes you want to believe someone or something caused it to happen. As Taint wrote, evidence like global inequality proves god's non-existance.



You're right, my argument was faulty: The existence of evil in the world proves god's absence just as much as the existence of good proves the existence of a god.
So it's a tie at this point.

Still, I'm an atheist at heart and this is the wrong place to try to prove that there is god or not. Funny video, upvote, done.

*begalicious the new flavour !

If it tasted good before you knew what it was, it tastes good after and knowing it's testicle, or horse meat, or snails, doesn't change that.


Enjoying a meal is more than just taste, it's sight and smell, texture in your mouth and also the subjective attitude towards the meal.

There's a slight difference between finding out you're eating offal when you've previously espoused to dislike offal intensely, and finding out that the nugget you are eating is a homogenised waste product that is chemically treated, flavoured and dyed to work around the massive bacterial load. I'm wondering what the profit margin is on those offcuts once you take out the cost of "disguising it's origins so human's will accept it's 'chicken'".

You prick, I did not want to watch this, but because of your inabilities to understand what a channel is for, I had to (to make sure your call was indeed baseless). @GenjiKilpatrick

On a side note, I really miss the old days when "Old Dutch" made "taco" flavoured nachos ten years ago, indeed I noticed when it became "zesty taco"

I completely agree with the video. Make some tasty sides, serve good wine, and bury the basically tasteless turkey with something that has flavour. Mmmmmm, gravy. Or not.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Will do. Though it probably won't be fruity flavoured like the ones in Portland. >> ^oohahh:

have a beer for us!

This looks poor , Cirque du Soleil have done some really good stuff in the past its weird that as a tribute they would not do something more abstract that took the flavour of MJ to a new level.

Chinese and Ruskies yesterday, Europeans the day before, Native Americans before that...

Arabs are just the flavour of the moment.

Arabs are bad, mmmkay?

Nothing like a little axle grease and burlap to give popcorn flavour.


Well you know the old saying: "That which doesn't kill you give you cancer"

At times it reminds me of different things, right now its tropical flavour sunburst candy.

In reply to this comment by eric3579:
I absolutely love the choice of colors.

OK, so I remember a discussion that was had in one of my art history courses on modern art (a few years back) while I was attending the Emily Carr University of Art & Design

The value of art. Years ago during the depression, rich people, like the Rothschilds and such had so much money, they didn't know what to do with it. They began to invest in art, buying up all the famous pieces they could. It became a famous pass-time of the rich to buy art and flaunt it around. But the investors didn't just flaunt it, they sold it.

Now, these guys were profiteers as we all know, and so were all the players that surrounded the art world. These guys looked at art as an investment, always trading up and selling for more than they paid. Art was (and still is) a commodity.

Of course with any gold-rush industry, an industry is born around that commodity and art galleries sprung up everywhere. Art was all the rage. Gallery owners and promoters, traveling shows, salesmen, pretentious buyers and all those people that wanted to be part of the In-crowd, the inner-court, as it was, were frantic to be the next best thing.

Flash forward into the eighties. Break Dancing, Rap music, Graffiti and Street gangsters and the sub-culture that goes along with it was on the rise. Gallery curators were looking for the next "big thing". Someone noticed Banksy and brought him into the gallery. (I used to have the article on how it happened, I no longer do). They put up the "great works of Banksy. They brought the street/graffiti artist off the street and billed him as the new Commodity. They invested in him and promoted him. Every one in the In-crowd bought into him and his works sold for copious amounts of money.

Then the problem arose that the "King wasn't wearing any cloths." That's right, everyone started to realize that the art was crap, simply tagging brought in off the street and hung on the gallery walls.

Only it was too late because the BIG investors who sink their cash into these commodity/investments never allow themselves to loose money. They were duped and no one wanted to admit it.

So what did they do? Well like any King Pin that controls the markets, They ignore the mistake, threw a spin on it and pretend it didn't happen, No one want's to admit they spent $200,000 on a piece of CRAP. (or more, I don't remember the dollar amounts - and I'm sure it was quite a bit more, into the millions - I just don't have those facts handy, so I'm going with six-figures.)

So to this day, Banksy is still creating art, his works are still worth money (only because they say it is), and next to impossible to sell. The fame remains because Banksy's biggest contribution to the art world was to buy with caution, it's not a good commodity just because the art world jumps on it as the flavour of the day. Many investors lost a lot of money on his works and the art buying world got a slap in the face.

It can be very easy to judge this as horrific and brutal and wasteful and so alien.

However I am a Westerner who eats meat... who knows that the beef and lamb and pork and salmon etc. etc. that I eat also comes from animals. I know that the meat I eat comes from animals who may not have had the best life and were killed so I could eat them.

BUT.

We strive in the west to be humane to animals, to let them have a reasonable quality of life, to kill them quickly and as painlessly as possible.

And we try not to be wasteful.

Those last two things are the horrific parts of this, in particular the last. Animals being killed and their carcasses thrown away (still living, that's just horrible) just to cut off fins that taste like nothing.

It's not getting highly nutritious food, it's not getting something with amazing flavour, it's purely eating something because it's rare.

And that's pretty fucking sick.

I'm sure there's a lot more work to be done with fishing for western tables too, I'm sure plenty of the fish that are caught are not quickly killed. I know that fish are being over fished to the point of extinction.

But the thing that stands out for this, and something that makes it an achievable thing to stop is that it is ONE DISH. ONE SINGLE DISH that is causing this much carnage, and this much wastage and killing. So stop ONE dish and you can save entire species of animal.
