Dilbert, Embraced and Extended

September 25th, 2006 | by Craig |

I caught the little blurb a couple of days ago about Six Flags offering “free cuts” if you only eat a bug.

I didn’t give it much thought, other than remembering the Dilbert cartoon where the boss had everyone eat a bug for their performance review.

What I should have realized (as it seems so obvious now) is that PETA would have their undies in a bunch about it.

I don’t know how to explain it any simpler, but…

<Sam Kinison>THEY’RE FAROOKIN’ BUGS. THEY WILL SURVIVE THE NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE AND INHERIT THE EARTH. THEY’RE DOING JUST FINE, THANK YOU.</Sam Kinison>

(Sorry about that.)

Cripes, if they’re that important to you, go picket the Orkin man, not Six Flags. If Six Flags is Dahmer, Orkin is Hitler by several orders of magnitude, okay? A little perspective is all we’re asking for here.

Dolts.

(Thanks to Gman for the reminder.)

    LOL. What a delightful report of cultural devolution.

    Can’t decide which is the best part of this news item:
    PETA’s characterization of munching roaches as “gratuitously cruel.” (
    Anyone that sensitive to the feelings of an insect needs to check their meds)
    or
    the Six Flags response
    Amusement park officials are defending their menu choice. Great America spokesman Jim Taylor says the bugs are nutritious, high in protein and fat free.
    They forgot ‘chewy’–my experience is that madagascars are large, tough bastiches.
    Ah, the perfect snack food!

    ‘Johnny’ was one of the best silly movies of the 80s.
    memorable…(I love Richard Dimitri!)
    I would like to direct this to the distinguished members of the panel. You lousy cork-suckers. You have violated my fargin’ rights. This suminonbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens, like me, could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin’ ice holes, like yourselves.

    …mostly because we now actually have politicians who talk like this…

    You got me busting a gut, SallyT! Did you recite that from memory? Great movie for one-liners…

    “Knock down dat wall…knock down dat wall…and knock down dat fargin’ wall….”

    It’s an .88 Magnum. It shoots through schools.
