magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

i was up until 6am this morning. i have absolutely no idea why. i had been meaning to go to bed around 2. somehow i ended up at the supermarket at 430 or so. just wacky all around. and so i slept until early afternoon. then dyed my hair. purple, woo.

and then this kinda pissed me off: there was a story about peta on the news, but it wasn't so much a news story as a "look what the animal rights nuts are up to now. ha ha, isn't that funny." half the story was about a new campaign of their's, jesus was a vegetarian. the news angle was about how offensive this is to christians. i find 95% of the billboards i see offensive, but i don't pass it off as breaking news. the other half of the story was about another peta campaign that links impotence with eating meat. again the "news" angle was about how a) the billboard has a woman in a bikini and that degrades women, b) the claim couldn't possibly be true because lots of people eat meat and aren't impotent, and c) how peta's real goal is not to have people lead healthier lives but to put cattle ranchers out of business. and it ended with some "reporter" driving through a fast food drive through while wearing a fur coat. just really tasteless.
