Jamie Oliver: Killer of cute baby chicks - VIDEO
You’re probably not going to see this on Martha Stewart.
British chef Jamie Oliver made a point recently about the way that chickens (and other animals) are treated and killed in the manufacture and processing of food. He brought out a bunch of fluffy, cute baby chicks and let a studio audience pet them and get to see how they cute they were. Then he took the baby chicks and gassed them, live on stage. Then he fed one to a big snake.
It’s a little disconcerting, with the wacky music and the audience oooooing and ahhhhhhing. Then the killing comes and the audience cries (though I wonder if they know that you have to kill chickens and cows and other animals you see dancing in Pixar films to make the food we love to eat). Video after the jump (though you won’t actually get to see the snake eat the chick, you ghouls).
By sheer coincidence, I’m having chicken tonight.

International Ratatouille Poster Revealed
Check out the new Ratatouille Poster from China (or is it Japan?). Pretty sweet. Why is it that everything immediately looks so much cooler with chinese or japanese script? Is it just me? Click on the poster to the left for a higher res version
A chinese version of the full length movie trailer made its way on to YouTube, but is now gone. While the trailer was in english, those pesky chinese subtitles were everywhere. Don’t go searching, the official Apple Quicktime version will probably appear next week. I’m not usually a stickler for quality, but when it comes to the beautiful Pixar films, you need to watch ‘em in full quality.
I really have a good feeling about this one (Cars was a very different story). Now the big question: Will kids be able to pronounce Ratatouille? If not, how are they going to bug their parents to bring them?
