“Watching that meat.com video…”

That might’ve been funnier if you got the domain name right, genius. Because you posted that, I’m going to have your mother tonight.

Hi PETA,

I was never directed to any press release when I spoke over the phone to Ashely Byrne, who was listed on the Reuter’s Daybook as the contact person for the event. When I asked for a website, Byrne directed me to http://www.peta.org, but all I could find were exposes about urine in KFC and blogs asking what my Favorite Corey Feldman Movie was. Just because a single press release “reveals” that that single press release makes no mention of AMI’s hot dog lunch doesn’t mean that your spokespeople don’t make mention of it in interviews, as Byrne did. Byrne told me over the phone that the event was scheduled “for the day that the Hot Dog and Sausage Council has traditionally held their hot dog events on Capitol Hill.” I never stated that any PETA press release mentioned AMI. If you want to respond to AMI’s assertions on this blog, however, you have my phone number.

Oops, looks like Amanda Mess–sorry, I mean Hess–has compounded her original inaccuracy with another one. A careful look at PETA’s press release (http://www.peta.org/mc/NewsItem.asp?id=11688)
reveals that we made no mention of AMI’s hot dog lunch. Our veggie dog giveaway was timed to coincide with National Veggie Dog Day, which we have to admit we invented ourselves to counter the relentless propaganda that spews forth during National Hot Dog Month (July). Looks like somebody has ground-up snouts, anuses, eyeballs, and intestines on their face, and it isn’t PETA. Visit http://www.GoVeg.com for delicious veg recipes and more.
