The Evil Gay Agenda Now The Evil Vegan Agenda? March 26, 2009
Let me first say that Nathan Runkle was awesome on last nights radio show. If you missed it, you can check it out on itunes or the podcast. His playlist included Madonna, Tori Amos, and MIA. Very nice Nathan. (Even if Madonna does wear fur. Boo…)
They talked briefly about this fantastically funny article called “Beware the Vegans; The evil gay agenda is nearly complete. Who poses the next horrible, godless threat?” Can you guess? Yep, vegans. Why vegans you ask?
Vegans. Let’s see: Often self-righteous? Check. Preachy? Check. Like to gather in suspicious little clusters and share weird tips about the best ways to cook kale as they hand out flyers at the New Life Expo and smoke lots of pot and twirl flaming Hula Hoops at Burning Man? Check. Plus, they can be sorta whimpery, frail, taste like kombucha. Could they take over?
Nah. Fearing a vegan revolution is like fearing a takeover by Muppet squirrels. Plus, they actually do have very good intentions and can be wonderfully nice, happy people, despite being no fun at barbeques and always bringing that weird seitan dish to the potluck. Plus, the lack of animal protein in their diets means they have little muscle mass and brittle bones and, if you have to, you can snap them like twigs.
The article doesn’t just make fun of vegans and call them the next threat to morality - they also suggest the rich, smart people, old people, babies and more.
Now, one gripe I have with the author - Vegans do not have brittle bones or little muscle mass! Don’t believe me? Check out this vegan… That’s right. Vegans are down right awesome. Oh, and pot? Really? I don’t know any vegans who smoke pot. Maybe it’s because this guy lives in San Fran…
Read the full article here. TOTALLY worth it. Very funny.
I feel this blog entry could have done more to comment on the performance of the hosts…
I cannot possibly satiate the ego of my awesome friend/host of the show in a few words. It must be done with diagrams, grand gestures and gifts of tofurky:)
(You accidentally left off the words “lack of” before the word “ego”…)
