Your laugh of the day

So yesterday, I think it was, I saw in one of my email news updates that The Prez swatted a fly during a TV interview. It was a video link so I didn't look at it, only thought "So bleepin' what?" Turns out, The Prez actually killed the fly barehanded and said "I got the sucker."

[sigh] If only he would turn that marvelous, vicious, boneexoskeleton-crushing attitude on our nation's enemies. [/sigh]

Anyway, in the Laughs Department, our goofy friends at PETA apparently have their undies in a wad about it.

PETA attack Barack Obama for fly killing

PEOPLE for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is upset with Barack Obama killing a fly during a televised interview - and are sending him a parcel to prove it.

PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA 'Tard-in-Chiefspokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."

What about the plants, you filthy kingdomist pig?

Well, there were lots of stories linked in Yahoo News, all had pretty mundane headlines on the actual stories like this one. But the headlines in the Yahoo search were outstanding:

PETA to Obama: Why'd You Kill That Fly?
PETA wishes Obama hadn't swatted that fly
PETA chastise Obama for murdering fly
PETA pesters Obama for murdering fly
Obama the fly-killer riles PETA

Heh. Screen cap:
