Wow, people are so fueled by their own motives that they sometimes forget to see what's even wrong with it. Not that it's a bad thing, but...

Is this statement applying to PeTA or the other companies?

I'm not informed about what goes on behind the scenes regarding Chimp training, but since SEGA pulled back, that's not so much an issue.

Lobster Catcher is a fun idea, but I agree the ideology that catching your prey is a game doesn't sit well with everyone, an in general, I don't support it.

Lastly, were they saying PeTA was making the game knock-off at KFC? LOLWUT?

Suck to be me. Some days I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner all at once, at dinner. Rice has a high glycemic index too.

Seriously ridiculous...he collapsed after only 24 hours...
But really it further proves that wow is the devil's game!

[Xelbair]

wow he beat me - i once played for 16 hours but i stopped playing wow since 2 years ago.

[Buffalobiian]

I don't know about playing wow for 24hrs, but studying 24hrs straight before an exam can really pump you up, especially if you consumed 4 cans of caffeinated "performance" drinks beforehand. Fatigue is is inevitably around the corner though.

I so want to see this move win an important match

That's also been proven to be a shitty way to study, since you need sleep to give your mind time to organize and commit thoughts to memory. I pulled an all-nighter only one time when I was at university and got a D on the test because nothing I studied for was on the test.

That's true. I think I'm lucky that I've got an awesome memory, and as long as I get it in, there's a good chance I can pull it back out. I resort to those when I haven't studied for something at all.

it's true. you remember 80% of what you learned if you sleep after learning it, as opposed to, like, 20% if you don't. at least, i think it's 20%...

[XanBcoo]

at least, i think it's 20%...

Clearly someone who didn't get enough sleep after learning that fact.

[saman]

ohoho! ow, your wit, it's too sharp! :P

in an attempt to stay on topic, this is old news, but PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk

[Kraco]

Things are pretty bad in PETAland. Fortunately over here cow's milk is not as poisonous and cows are treated much better than in their tree hugging country. I wonder where they even find their info. If cow's milk was that bad, half of Europe would be wilderness, because all the humans would have died of milk poisoning a long time ago...

But other than that... I wonder if I'd eat ice-cream made of human milk. I honestly can't say. I don't really even like to eat cheese made of other than cow's milk.

[Animeniax]

Human (female) milk is supposed to be rich in nutrients and antibodies that help infants grow and defend against disease, so I imagine it's a good idea for everyone to drink it. It would certainly raise ethical issues but women could lactate and make money selling to companies like Ben and Jerry's and make extra income in these troubled times.

You just know there will be sickos, nerds, and frat boys who buy the ice cream for no other reason than because it's made with breast milk.

[Buffalobiian]

They raised the issue of cows being forcefully impregnated every 9 months just to constantly produce milk. Imagine what kind of ideas mothers would get. You'd also have the issue of "home made" vs "quality controlled". You'll need to really screen breast milk for diseases and drugs for contaminants too.

I can just imagine a mother forcing her baby on some cheap homebrand formula just so she can top up her bank account with that little bit more milk.

(It's also really funny how they completely ignore the benefits of drinking cow's milk)

[animus]

I can see the distinction between different types of breast milk now.

"Oh, that white milk takes sweeter than that Asian milk." It might even stir up some racists. "My child, will only drink white milk!"
