heh! heh, I say!
Proving for roughly the 4,000th time that its vision of reality is more skewed and ill-minded and rather imbecilically overzealous than, say, Jenna Bush at a handgun expo, the wild-eyed and remotely well-intentioned but still dangerously twitchy kids over at PETA complained that Al-Jazeera is willing to run graphic footage of human war victims, but won't accept their commercial showing cows hanging upside down in a slaughterhouse after their throats had been slit, goats being killed and a chicken thrown violently at a box. Gosh. Mix the issue of human war horrors with issues of industrial food production. How clever. Hey I know, let's also run some pictures of crack babies, alcohol-related dismembering car accidents, botched plastic surgeries, rampant genital sores, and brutally graphic pictures of slaughtered Christmas trees left out in the street to turn all brown and sad. PETA said it offered to pay the network $10,000 to run its 30-second Arabic-dubbed spot, but was refused. Meanwhile, reasonably attuned people who still manage to maintain a modicum of perspective in this life ignored PETA's screechy extremism and donated money to their local SPCA instead.
and from the inimitable tbogg (I assume you dropped a hiatus form off with your supervisor, young man), this poignant missive from a fan of Ms. Lo and her gentleman friend (Lo and lower - been done?):
i did not sign this petition....i think who ever puts this much effort into something that will clearly go nowhere should get a life.....and on top of that....stop being such a hater....oh..and one more thing...think about it.....if youre so convinced that these people hold no talent...why do i know who they are yet ive never heared of you....
I, in fairness, have never heared of Mr. Boggioni either.
edit: I am informed in comments that "heared" is not the actual verb form which Mr. Boggioni's correspondent was searching for, which is ironic, under the circumstances, n'est-ce pas?
I wouldn't never have knowed that if'n you hasn't tolded me.
