PETA and Flannery O'Connor

My Ongoing War with PETA
Pamela Anderson is the new face of PETA after condemning the Kentucky Derby. This all comes in the light of her recent war with Kentucky Fried Chicken. Apparently Pamela just realized that the "fried chicken" part doesn't come out so good for the chicken. PETA must be so proud. I certainly find it amusing. Pam brings a certain level of dignity to the table for PETA, given her impressive track record of classy entertainment achievements, such as Baywatch, Barbed Wire, and on the list goes.

Meanwhile, PETA took a jab at Paris Hilton. Wow, they’ve got some nerve. Here’s an idea: let’s anger one of the wealthiest celebrities in the world and see what happens. Nice going.

Life Mimics Art
Anyone a big Flannery O’Connor fan? Remember “Good Country People”? In an example of O’Connor’s appreciation of the bizarre and grotesque, a traveling salesman steals a disabled woman’s prosthetic leg, something he admits he collects.

Fast forward to reality. On Valentine’s Day in California, thieve(s) stole a high school sophomore’s “cosmetic leg” and a $16,000 donated special boot that the young lady’s uses to play softball. Who says Twentieth Century Southern Literature isn’t relevant today?
