I tell you what, I'm so glad that grisly "meat" ad is gone from the Latest page.

Good Lord. They made their point, but I was getting way too nauseous logging in to DU.

On edit: I see the ad is still there, but the photo is slightly less revolting.

1. Yeah, it was getting to me too.

Almost as much as the McCain TWIT ad.

2. if you don't like it, dont eat meat?

:D

[quiet.american]

7. Gee, I wish the rest of life were that simple. nt

[flvegan]

3. Why? Be specific, please.

[quiet.american]

6. Oh, I don't know -- maybe it was seeing bloody butchery every time I wanted to read DU?

I'm used to verbal butchery here, but I found the ad's photo quite grisly.

17. I don't know why it was a big deal to begin with.

I'd look at it and my next ham sandwich would actually taste better. It was like magic!

4. It didnt really bother me, but I was curious.

I felt bad for the cows. Not the chickens. I hate them chickens. I got pecked a lot as a youth.

[Critters2]

16. Yeah, they deserve to be tortured

:eyes:

5. OMG. I couldn't finish watching the video. How horrible.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

9. I won't watch it. Ever.

Things like that give me nightmares. I am a veggie already, so I don't feel obliged to watch it. It was enough reading in The Nation years back about the nasty state of affairs in the meat-processing industry. You know, lack of inspections, improper sanitation, too-fast chain-rate for the workers and everything else we've all likely read/seen by now.

Although I never used the function for this particular ad, I can do a right-click on the page in Opera and block out individual images as well as ads :)

10. I'm a meat eater myself, but that grossed me out too!

Nice to discover other people weren't too crazy about it either.

[bertha katzenengel]

11. oh, yeah. they replaced it with something better: what looks like

two feet stomping down on a pig. i'd rather see the meat.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. I thought that was the pic she was talking about...

Sadly, I see it's still there... :-(

[quiet.american]

14. When I originally posted, I hadn't seen the current ad.

It is horrid, too, but not quite as grisly as the first one. Still awful, though.

13. I Think DU Has A Steak In The Ad

You are right, the ad was very mooooooooving, and almost udderly distasteful.
:hi:
