The Perfect Grill ... for a Cannibal

Posted Aug 20th 2009 2:20PM by TMZ Staff

Sure, Christmas is still 4 months away -- but if you have any friends who love to dine on human flesh, we've found the perfect gift for you ... courtesy of Sears?!



The department store is currently offering a grill on their website under the categories, "Human Cooking > Grills to Cook Babies and More > Body Part Roaster."

We called a Sears customer service rep for an explanation, who told us: "Oh my God. This is horrible. Oh my God."

I will tell you right now I am one of the biggest animal lovers you will ever meet. I wont kill a spider. Most of the time. But PETA is nuts. A group with a good message but no knowledge of how to convey it. They go WAY over board, its rediculous. I am not going to post the UnHappy Meals because they are absoultely disgusting and wrong, but this.....this is down right funny.....


PETA's 'whale' billboard has the InterTwitter Fraternal Council mad

Sound of gavel tapping] I hereby call this meeting of the InterTwitter Fraternal Council to order!

Brothers and Sisters, we have come to call your attention to the latest marketing campaign by the most irreverent fraternal organization on our campus of environmental activism. I know, we all agreed that the whole Alicia Silverstone 'oh my skin is so beautiful because of eating vegetables' campaign was, while a little bit of a stretch, hot. And Eva Mendes naked to protest the sale of furs? Again, we let it go on the "hotness" exception to the flagrant marketing rule.

But today, something has come into view that really qualifies to have Rho Epsilon Tau Alpha, or in your American language, PETA, kicked off Fraternity Row for good. In a press release filled with offensive imagery that has traditionally been used to insult women around the keg of the cheapest light beer at fraternity parties, PETA has defended its decision to display billboards in Jacksonville, Florida with an image of the midsection of an overweight woman in a bikini and a slogan that has previously only been found in places such as, say, the bathroom wall at the lowest dive bar in town.

We will read the first paragraph of your press release into the record. "A new PETA billboard campaign that was just launched in Jacksonville reminds people who are struggling to lose weight -- and who want to have enough energy to chase a beach ball -- that going vegetarian can be an effective way to shed those extra pounds that keep them from looking good in a bikini. The ad shows a woman whose "blubber" is spilling over the sides of her swimsuit bottom and features the tagline "Save the Whales. Lose the Blubber: Go Vegetarian. PETA."

As if to say, "We know it's not OK to make fun of an obese woman to her face. But it's OK if it's to her back, right?"

Here is what the other members of the ITFC are saying: "totally gobsmacked." "just when you think PETA can't get any more offensive." and "this is what PETA is all about: getting attention."

Well, you've got our attention, PETA. And we are reminded why we don't like you. It's not funny to make fun of people's weight problems, and to assert you know why they're occurring is wrong-headed and judgmental and, well, just like you. And so we're suspending your charter, as of today, and we're all going to go and eat some bacon!

UPDATE: State Police catch drunk Comstock Park man in their own parking lot

 

PAW PAW, Mich. (WZZM) - Michigan State Police are always on the lookout for drunk drivers. Early this morning, one driver made it very easy for them.

Troopers from the Paw Paw Post in Van Buren County found a car parked on the lawn of the post at about 2:15am Thursday morning. In the car, they found Todd Olin, 40, of Comstock Park, heavily intoxicated and sick.

Police say Olin could not remember where he was coming from, but said he was heading home and thought he was close.

Preliminary tests show that the Olin's blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit of .08. He had six previous drinking and driving offenses on his record since 1986 and his license had been revoked.

Police say Olin was looking for a spot to rest after being sick and happened to park in the State Police Post parking lot. He missed the lot and ended up on the lawn.

Olin is being held in the Van Buren County Jail on a $25,000 bond.
