America has been become a haven for senseless non-sense.

Here's the latest non-sense:

Quote:

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – A new billboard on Indy’s southeast side is urging people not to eat turkey this Thanksgiving and it’s aimed at young people.

The ad shows a baby turkey crying “Mommy! Mommy!” beside a cooked bird on a plate. The billboard also says “Let everyone be with their family.”

The billboard, sponsored by PETA, went up near two IPS schools at the intersection of Post and Brookville Roads.

PETA officials said they chose to display the billboard in Indianapolis because of its high concentration of children under 14. They say they want the billboard “to spark discussions between children and parents about compassion at the holiday table.”

“Children are naturally drawn to and love animals, and most would not eat turkey if they knew that the turkey centerpiece had been a real-life bird and part of a family and flock,” says mother and PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman.

PETA says around 46 million turkeys will be killed for Thanksgiving and another 22 million for Christmas.

You mean those kids don't know that use to be a bird. Next year Tracy it would be nice if we could all have twenty pound Gummie bears, shaped like a turkey. Very Happy

Doesn't anyone out there care about the baby cranberries being ground up?
