speaking of pork..

The pork people have problems. I sympathize, somehow. You have to sell fatty meat that many religions call impure and that doctors tell people not to eat. It's a hard sell. So far, over the years they have tried:

1) "The other white meat." This resulted in fodder for bad comedians for years.

2) "America's Cut". No one got this.

3) "Where there's Pork, there's Fire". Hello?

I wonder if some postmodern grad student types had taken over by #3. Anyway, now they've snapped completely. Allow me to present the Post 9/11 Pork Banner:



PORKRIOTISM is the LAST REFUGE of a MARKETER! YOW!!

I loved this post so much that i'm going to go straight out tonight and buy a big pork dinner. I'm going to take the flag off my car antenna and tie the pork chop there, to let it fly in the wind.

That is so good!

You cannot make stuff like that up.

For the record, I love bacon.

I like to keep a pound of bacon in my wallet so I know for sure why dogs are sniffing my ass.

yurgh

"Hooray for the Red, [Pork], and Blue!" sounds like an altogether different kind of post 9/11/01 phenomenon.

I feel icky.

Is the pork/fire one supposed to be about barbeques or something? I'm so out of touch on the Meaty Issues of the Day.

what they should have used

None of these guys ever ate any pork.
