Chicken PETA Headstone Hides Anti-KFC Secret Recipe

Animal Rights Group Erects Headstone Near Col. Sanders' Grave

Quote:
At first glance, the tombstone looks like any other grave marker. But a closer look at the epitaph reveals a deeper meaning.

A seemingly innocuous poem is inscribed on the headstone, but, when read vertically, the first letter of each line spells out "KFC Tortures Birds."

I'm glad they were found out and are being ousted from the cemetery.

Really though, what a pointless and over-the-top, not to mention disrespectful, way to try to make a statement.

Tacky, just tacky. Getting a message across != having the right to be disrespectful in a place deemed sacred to people's memories.

I don't know, compared to some of the things I've read about other stunts PETA has done, this one is quite subtle.

Once again PETA proves they have all the maturity of ten year-old.

PETA is a wonderful organization which invests lots of
Energy in defending creatures of all shapes and sizes from
Torture at the hands of many different companies,
All of whom show a distinct lack of morality by
Killing defenseless domesticated animals.
I wish there were more organizations out there
Like PETA so that I would no longer have to worry about the welfare of
Loveable bunnies, kittens, puppies, and even
Slimy, ugly animals like frogs. 'Cause despite their grossness,
All animals have a right to enjoy a life free of malicious harm.
Now the decision is in your hands. Will you fight the good fight as
I am and dedicate your life to making sure the world understands the
Moral imperative to defend all animals? I know that if the
Animals could talk, they'd all take the opportunity to thank you for not
Leaving them to suffer amongst the labs, farms, and factories of the world.
So let us rise up against these cruel institutions and make a difference.


Hmm, that wasn't so hard. Acrostics are fun!

I'm assuming the red lettering is either an afterthought or a digital manipulation.
