I tell you what, I'm so glad that grisly "meat" ad is gone from the Latest page. |

Good Lord. They made their point, but I was getting way too nauseous logging in to DU.
On edit: I see the ad is still there, but the photo is slightly less revolting.

1. Yeah, it was getting to me too. |

Almost as much as the McCain TWIT ad.

6. Oh, I don't know -- maybe it was seeing bloody butchery every time I wanted to read DU? |
|
I'm used to verbal butchery here, but I found the ad's photo quite grisly.

17. I don't know why it was a big deal to begin with. |
|
I'd look at it and my next ham sandwich would actually taste better. It was like magic!

4. It didnt really bother me, but I was curious. |
|
I felt bad for the cows. Not the chickens. I hate them chickens. I got pecked a lot as a youth.

9. I won't watch it. Ever. |
|
Things like that give me nightmares. I am a veggie already, so I don't feel obliged to watch it. It was enough reading in The Nation years back about the nasty state of affairs in the meat-processing industry. You know, lack of inspections, improper sanitation, too-fast chain-rate for the workers and everything else we've all likely read/seen by now.
Although I never used the function for this particular ad, I can do a right-click on the page in Opera and block out individual images as well as ads :)

10. I'm a meat eater myself, but that grossed me out too! |
|
Nice to discover other people weren't too crazy about it either.

14. When I originally posted, I hadn't seen the current ad. |
|
It is horrid, too, but not quite as grisly as the first one. Still awful, though.
