What do you get when animal rights enter The Matrix? The Meatrix!!! They hit over the head with the message, but damn it's well done and funny. Check it out! Requires flash.
They were preaching to the converted with me. And I still didn't much like it, aside from the novelty of the first 30 seconds.
More frighteningly, I saw my database class laugh yesterday, upon seeing posters showing the plight of chickens raised for meat. They almost seemed sadistic while going through the various points said poster raised. I was too shocked/sleepy/badly outnumbered to try anything. Maybe I need a veganazi sidekick.
yeah, f said the same thing, that the first thirty seconds are the best.
personally, I've been watching it repeatedly... I've now saved the file to my harddrive hehe. There is something quite eerie about it.
As for what you can do against such people, I think that the other way is to be prepared. But anyway, getting in conflict situation is not that productive anyways, changing individual attitutdes works badly in group settings...
