I assume the selling point is that the meat is not imported, rather than it being genuine.

Funniest bit about that meme is that the Federal government was deliberately tainting alcohol to get people to stop drinking. By killing them with poison.

It's funny because cats and turtles are natural enemies. Turtles have been known to attack cats in the wild and cats have been known to file false noise complaints against turtles, getting them in trouble with their landlords.

They still essentially do this with prescription opiates, except instead of straight up poison they use Tylenol.

They are, but the war between dogs and turtles is even worse

I'm sorry to dredge this back up, but the phrase "100% Australian Meat" is very concerning. Maybe it's because I'm just so used to everything being sold in America as food has to specify somewhere what it actually is, but something that is simply labeled as "meat" is just vague enough to bother me. Is this horse as Chunks indicated? Or is it ground up Aussies as the box seems to state?

I find this McDonalds ad campaign slightly concerning for the same reason:


It's a sad state of affairs if "real" is the best word to describe your product's unique selling point.

anyone remember who originally made that observation, that any claim is worthless if its impossible to argue the opposite.

bad examples:
- burger #good okay but who would sell their burgers as #bad?
- a politician says "for the people" and you wonder, who would be against the people?

"Real" nowadays means something like "wholesome" or "unprocessed".

Then again maybe the ad is Brazilian.

Write about how from a post-modernist perspective the cat represents the modern police state and the turtle represents the pharmaceutical-industrial complex.

It would honestly be a lot easier if people would just accept that he has a slightly broken sense of humor and let him post things he finds funny without explanation but this is PYF so that won't happen.
