I had to go back and look. OMG is right!!!

I also looked at the comments under the PETA story. This one cracked me up -"Under the best of circumstances, tofu can make folks gag..." (I left off the rest of the quote so as not to spoil it for those who haven't read the article yet.)

(i posted this on the article as well)

first it's breast-milk ice cream, then sea kittens, now clooney-flavored soybean curd? what's next? insisting that all the animals in zoos be set free and replaced by the extra-jumbo-sized stuffed animals?

They gave just enough detail, but thankfully didn't draw a picture as to what or where the injuries were. I am glad the woman wasn't critically injured. That being said, I hope this couple does not reproduce.

Sexually speaking, if I was wanting George Clooney and somebody gave me tofu -- I would feel cheated? No?

However, as a marketing tool I think this is genius. Forget tofu, think ice cream, think 16 year olds and demographics -- AND, forget Clooney -- what teen wouldn't want a taste of Ashton Kustner or Beyonce (OK, I cheated, I had to ask a 20 year old for names).

As the rest of the women on the forum go: "Oh hell yes, I'm buying George Clooney tofu!"

I dig PETA. They've got it half right. And half right is enough these days.

Cannibalism by analogue -- only the protein starved vegans could come up with that one.
