PETA – new Lord of the Flies
Here we go again!
So once upon a time, there was this dude known as President Obama… and he had this thing called an interview… during this interview, he swatted and to his suprise, killed a fly.
And most people are thinking at this point… yeah, so?
But not PETA, clearly:
PETA is sending Obama a bug catching device, which allows people to capture insects and set them free.
“It’s not a huge deal. One might even call it a non-story. But if the media wants to talk about fly-swatting, we’ll talk about compassion, even for flies.”
The White House is declining to comment.

If it’s not a huge deal, then why make the gesture? Even the suggestion is kinda openly condescending guys. A fly is a fly. There are millions more. If they choose to bug me, I will sure as hell bug them back. And that may involve swatting. It may even get brutal with some squishing. Dare I say, there may even be… splatting. Holy crap.
*rolls eyes*
There’s already an influx of giant bears and deer everywhere. If we’re forced to be more “humane” to insects and let them all go, then we’d better gear up like Starship Troopers for some mega pest control.
