The Al Sharpton-PETA alliance is analogous to the Sears-KMart merger. Two failing entities aligning to fight a common foe (Sears for the latter, Utter Irrelevance for the former.) The odor of flop sweat from The Reverend's well-managed hairstyle is quite evident. More situations like these and he risks entry on a reality show for those past their prime. PETA beyond redemption.

"you know, before they became the devil"

Sorry but AOL has always been the devil. Its just that early on people didn't realize that they could get everything from AOL better using a basic ISP and free services. That they have joined forces with Satan's other spawn is no surprise to me.

And yes I have had internet friends, but I have met most of them in the flesh as well.

I would like to know how much Al Sharpton is being paid for this one. Chickens have never been a cause that I have heard uttered from his mouth before. It really seems to have come out of nowhere, don't you think?

Al must be a popeye's man.

Re: Internet friends

I married one of them. Does that count? ;-)

Re: Cosby.
Check what happened to Al Capp when he parodies the anti-war crowd. The old badger game.

Al, Al, Al... You was my boy. Now you have fell off hard attacking the KFC. C'mon. Not the fried chicken, man! Sharpton, you've lost all your cool points.

You mean Al Sharpton found another cause to defend? If he had a nickle for every cause he advocates for... oh wait, he's got way more than a nickel!

And, I go through love-hate trials with Bill Cosby. I just can't decide who the real Bill Cosby is. So, will the real BC please stand up?

We all fall short of the glory of The Lord.
Some more than others.
Nykola less than others.

It almost makes a person rethink boycotting KFC because they are owned by Pepsi and Pepsi gives money to something or other, I don't know what, (because I didn't listen that close when my husband was talking about it. It's easy enough to buy Coke and go to Church's Chicken instead... I'm not a boycotter type but in this case it costs nothing to be cooperative.) I'll have to pass on the PETA and Sharpton info and see if it outweighs whatever Pepsi did. ;-)

(BTW, I participate in chicken slavery. The poor oppressed chicks I bought last fall have just started to lay little eggs. I got the first two just yesterday, a pretty little green egg and a nice cream colored egg. The older hens lay larger eggs. Chickens are dumber than rocks but they're entertaining creatures.)
