Bin Laden Bites!
Oddness from across the Pond.US troops wanting chocolate in Afghanistan could soon be eating dairy-free treats bearing the image of Osama bin Laden.
A chocolatier and longtime People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals supporter is making the special vegan chocolates for the troops after reading about how difficult it was to get chocolate in AfghanistanThe so-called “Bin Laden Bites” give the troops the chance to bite his head off, a news release from PETA said.
As the saying goes, it’s the thought that counts, and, hey, there could be some who are allergic to milk. Either way, chocolate is chocolate when you are in a war zone. What about the Iraqi troops, though?
In addition to supporting the troops and protesting the Sept. 11 attacks, PETA said it also wanted to use the chocolates to protest bin Laden’s torture and killing of animals during and in the days following the World Trade Center attacks, when their guardians were killed, leaving the animals to die of dehydration, starvation or exposure to toxic fumes.
Sigh. While certainly noble in concept, hopefully they remember that 3,000 people also died that day, not to mention of people being injured and affected,. At least PETA, unlike so many on the left, hate Osama, so, credit where credit is due. Even if a bit wonky.
Thought Muslims did not approve of pictures of people ?
Sod the Iraqi or Afghan troops ..
How about a version for British Troops .. with either “Gordon sucks” or “Mandy takes it up the Dung funnel” .. ?
That’d put smiles on the faces of our hard-pressed, ill-used Lads & Lasses ..
It’s pictures of Mohammed they get particularly narky about rather than pics in general, and considering there is a Muslim landlord round the corner from me who slips Tia Maria in his tea when he thinks noone is looking, I can tell you from experience that most of them aren’t anywhere near as religiously observant when they think they won’t get caught.
Great idea, but not sure I’d put anything linking chocolate and Mandy anywhere near my mouth. Especially if it had nuts and raisins in it.
Ahhh .. but if it was laced with “Ex-Lax” our Troops could give it away to the locals & really put the shits up ’em .. literally .. Heh heh ..
