Meat Puppets

[superbadgirl]

Does anyone else find Hillshire Farm's "Go Meat!" ad campaign both weird and gross? I swear they're trying to recruit people to eat meat...and while I'm not a vegetarian, I'm finding the ads are having the complete opposite effect on me. Namely, I want to avoid animal flesh of any kind for fear some off-camera cheerleaders will start chanting "Go Meat!" at me.

Maybe it's just me. I am naturally squicky about meat anyway.

I haven't seen those ads, but I have to admit that I react similarly. I cannot stand The Fly Lady, because her first edict is something how you *have* to wear your shoes at home.

I always wear shoes. Where I come from, you do not take your shoes off at the front door unless they're thoroughly caked with mud. In fact, it's a *thing* with me. I do *not* like at all going to someone else's house and being expected to take off my shoes. I have some problems with my feet and usually have special inserts in my shoes, and always buy shoes for support and comfort above all. I don't ever, ever, ever walk around my own house (or anywhere) without shoes (other than getting in the shower or something like that). Plus I don't like to get holes in my socks and I really do not like going barefoot.

But the fly lady? I read her stuff and I'm ready to declare that I'll never wear shoes again! It's her tone and attitude that makes me feel defiant. *g* I'm such a brat.

If I weren't already vegetarian, I'd probably feel the same way about these meat ads. *g* I do not like being told what to do. *g*

I haven't seen it, but I'm so turned off to any meat but fish lately, I'm sure I'd react the same way.

Meat is squicky when you think about it.
