Thanks for providing the first legitimate response. I just have to call you on this one though. Maher is not the animal rights activist you claim he is. He doesn't care about the life of the cow. He cares about the pollution raising cattle causes and the resources consumed by them. He is concerned about the millions of tons of grain that is fed to cows instead of being fed to those who actually are starving to death. Just thought I'd clear that up.

and proud of it. Cue the song.
Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American Dream. About me. About you. The way our American hearts beat down in the bottom of our chests. About the special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the sub-cockle area. Maybe in the liver. Maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the colon, we don't know.
I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job
I'm your average white suburbanite slob
I like football and porno and books about war
I've got an average house with a nic hardwood floor
My wife and my job, my kids and my car
My feet on my table, and a cuban cigar
But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested
(Oh no) No Way (Uh-uh)
No, I've gotta go out and have fun
At someone else's expense
(Oh yeah) Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I drive really slow in the ultrafast lane
While people behind me are going insane
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole)
I use public toilets and piss on the seat
I walk around in the summertime saying, "How about this heat?"
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces
While handicapped people make handicapped faces
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's a real ****ing asshole)
Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong
Naaaah!
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
[Spoken]
You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado convertible, hot pink with whaleskin hub caps and all leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights, yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115mph getting one mile per gallon, sucking down quarter pounder cheese burgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers and when I'm done sucking down those grease ball burgers, I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag and then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam container right out the side and there ain't a God damned thing anybody can do about it. YOu know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why.
[Spoken]
Two words. Nuclear ****ing weapons, okay?! Russia, Germany, Romania - they can have all the Democracy they want. They can have a big democracy cake-walk right through the middle of Tiananmen square and it won't make a lick of difference because we've got the bombs, okay?! John Wayne's not dead - he's frozen. And as soon as we find the cure for cancer we're gonna thaw out the duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well multiple that by 15-million times, that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be. I'm gonna get the Duke and John Cassavetes...

The grain fed to cattle has nothing to do with famine. Famine is a political problem mostly.

Hmm...that's a very old psa. And, you know what, I agree with what he said in it. He said people shouldn't be cruel to animals. Now, the fact that he did a PSA for them many years ago (notice the old comedy central set an the hair dating this commercial between 6 and 9 years old) doesn't mean that he can't blast them for what they do now. He often does. I really don't feel like a jerk. I'm a little surprised, but hey, people are allowed to make dumb decisions and change their minds later. Show me something RECENT that demonstrates support for PETA.

Ummm, we shouldn't be raising so many of said cattle so that they don't eat as much grain. We aren't trying to starve cows you ****ing retard. Nice contribution to the thread. Really.
I am writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to ask you to please bring the EPA into the 21st century by canceling the high production volume (HPV) chemical-testing program.

So how do you propose to feed the millions of Americans that eat beef & drink milk? I mean you're an enlightened fellow*. You don't believe in god(s) so humans are just higher animals. We belong on the top of the food chain, as the dominant species of course we can consume any and all sorts of furry little (and big) creatures. In fact, I just ate a chunk of cow this evening. Yum.
