They ran every detail of the torture flights. This shit needs to see the light of day. I wonder if the threat of a trade war would work, barring companies from buying Boeing jets, not as a means of supporting Airbus but just to force some people to talk publicly about torture.

Can somebody help me understand why the gays were so upset about the snickers ad? The way I saw it, it was really making fun of male homophobia. These guys were willing to rip their own chest hair out so that the other wouldn't think they were gay. Pretty much a parody of how insecure straight guys are.

What am I missing? (I'm really not being sarcastic here, I really want to know...)

The extras on the website are what got everyone's tighty whitey's in a bunch.

Nutshell: there were 3 other versions, one involving violence.
also, there were nfl players shown reacting in disgust to the commercial, showing homophobia in their capacity as role models.

I hope that people don't start killing the chickens specifically for their "immature" eggs.

I grew up with chickens in our backyard. We didn't eat them but we ate and sold the eggs. The grossest thing was when we'd crack an egg and there would be a half formed baby chick. I learned never to crack an egg directly into my dish, always put it in a side bowl. Who wants that in their cake batter?
