Another reason not to eat chicken
The Beastie Boys have always had a lot to say about everything from partying and girls to politics, social causes, and the city that they love (NYC, of course). You name it, they’ve covered it without bowing to censorship, so it should come as no surprise that they have decided to speak out against KFC to defend the rights of chickens.
MCA, Adrock, and Mike D fired off a letter to KFC head honcho David Novak, asking him to follow PETA’s recommendations and eliminate the worst abuses that chickens raised and killed for KFC endure, including painful debeaking, life-long crippling, and live scalding.
If KFC treated dogs and cats the way that it treats the nearly 800 million chickens who are killed each year for its restaurants, the company would be facing felony cruelty-to-animals charges. Chickens are probably the most abused animals on Earth, enduring a lifetime of misery, and KFC has a responsibility to ensure that chickens raised for its restaurants are protected from the worst cruelties.

who did damien rip off? err, africa?
Encrusted with nearly 9,000 diamonds and worth £50million, one is the latest work by the notorious artist Damien Hirst.
The other is mass-produced in China and costs a mere £128.
My Gosh. There are skulls made out of diamonds, rice, lentils, sequins, pearls, beads, plastic and fabric in every high street in the country so why did the daily mail decide to pick on a piece of chinese jewellry to point out damien hirst is a rip off merchant?
Lets face it - everyone loves skulls! I love the damien hirst skull, just not the price tag, it's probably a rather unethical art buy too. Last Monday, the former Liberian strongman Charles Taylor went on trial in The Hague for war crimes in which diamond trafficking played a major role. just four days before the hirst skll was unveiled
But if coincidence, is it fair to make the link? Should every starry-eyed young couple looking for an engagement ring have to worry about how diamonds are mined in Africa? Need Hirst feel guilty that Taylor allegedly supplied weapons to gangs terrorizing Sierra Leone in the 1990s in exchange for diamonds?
hmm. Watch this space for the 'answer back' object !
