Today’s idiots come to you from the PETA (Please Eat Tasty Animals) in Portage la Prairie in Manitoba, Canada.

Since the well publicized decapitation of a bus passenger grabbed the attention of the world the PETA has decided it would be a good idea to compare this heinous crime to the eating of meat by producing an utterly tasteless ad.

The Canadian Globe and Mail reports:

[...] city editor Tara Seel said the newspaper had no intention of running the ad, which uses imagery of “an innocent victim’s throat” being cut, in reference to the slaughter of cows, chickens and pigs on factory farms.

“His struggles and cries are ignored … the man with the knife shows no emotion … the victim is slaughtered and his head cut off … his flesh is eaten,” reads the ad, which is posted on the website.

“If this ad leaves a bad taste in your mouth, please give a thought to what sensitive animals think and feel when they come to the end of their frightening journey and see, hear and smell the slaughterhouse.”

The PETA aren’t making friends with this ad, obviously. From the thousands of comments received on various reporting sites it’s clear that it’s inspired many people to disavow the PETA and have started consuming meat like never before just to spite the eggheads.

Good going, PETA. Really. Now where’s my steak?
