I wonder if whoever sent that PETA tweet has his calendar stuck on April 1?
But, I'm gonna put my tinfoil hat on and pretend to be a special snowflake myself. Here is the special snowflake analysis of PETA alternatives:
Quote:
"Bring home the bacon" becomes "bring home the bagels"
|
No way. This singles out people who believe in gluten free fad, and is thus offensive to them. (Please do not tell me that there are gluten free bagels, because that would be an even worse abomination than "I can't believe it's not butter - you better believe because of its hideous taste" scam).
Quote:
"Killing two birds with one stone" becomes "feeding two birds with one scone"
|
This is very insensitive to people suffering from
ornithophobia.
Quote:
"Flog a dead horse" becomes "feed a fed horse"
|
And make the horse sick and die?
Animal cruelty!
Quote:
"Hold your horses" becomes "hold the phone"
|
Offensive to people who live in a third world shithole country and cannot afford a phone. You really had to rub their poverty in, hadn't you?
Quote:
"Let the cat out of the bag" becomes "spill the beans"
|
Offensive for the same group of people. They cannot afford spilling any food!
Quote:
"All your eggs in one basket" becomes "all your berries in one bowl"
|
OK, I have nothing for this one. Help?
Quote:
"Open a can of worms" becomes "open Pandora’s box"
|
Is that some sort of advertisement for the ugly cheap bracelets? That's so capitalist!
Quote:
"Be the guinea pig" becomes "be the test tube"
|
This is wrong on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin. Homoerotic subtext, for one.
Quote:
"Taking the bull by the horns" becomes "taking the flower by the thorns"
|
This is so racist, assuming that all flowers have thorns.
Has the author of this saying ever been to a garden?!?
Quote:
"More than one way to skin a cat" becomes "more than one way to peel a potato
|
The only nutrition in a potato is in the skin, idiots! Only ignorant people peel potatoes.
