"PETA rips Obama for killing house fly" [MY RESPONSE]
I know. I know! I couldn't believe it either. One of the most asinine things I've read. I was really shocked, and annoyed when I read the article in the Metro paper this morning. People who think like this, or have the time to think like this need to be committed.
Clearly PETA has nothing to do with their lives. Flies are insects, actually flies are PESTS that “can carry serious diseases” and according to good ole' wikipedia flies can "lay approximately 500 eggs in several batches of about 75 to 150, eggs" and it takes practically no time for them to turn back into flies again.
If a fly or any insect for that matter comes into my house be guaranteed that it WILL be destroyed. And normally, in the most violent way possible, because of the irritation they cause. So many times, I'll be all comfortable on the sofa, eating dinner or something, and watching tv then all you hear is bzzzzzz, bzzzzz as something flies around my head incessantly. I will then have to get up, put a cover my food, missa part of whatever I was watching and then spend time to beat it back into the molecules from which it was made.
But no, crusty PETA would want me to be uncomfortable, then capture it and release it back into the environment with their, “Katcha Bug™ Humane Bug Catcher” (for $8), all because they “support compassion even for the most curious, smallest, and least sympathetic animals.” FOOLS. DAM FOOLS. Bugs, unfortunately, are smart to some degree. “In 2008 it was discovered that a fly anticipates the approach of a threat, calculating the angle of attack, and alters its stance ready to make the most appropriate getaway. This evasive action, which allows the fly to jump away in the opposite direction, takes place within 200 ms.” So riddle me this, once you catch and release it, what the hell is stopping it from coming back and pissing you off all over again? Hmm??
One time there was this big fly making this really loud buzzing noise and I couldn't tell where it was coming from. When I finally found it, it took forever to kill. I was really pissed off. So when I finally got it, I scrapped it up with the swat and fed it to one of the spiders in the backyard and then I took pictures. I should look for them and post them. If I cared more I should probably just mail it to PETA with this entry, and the phrase “HAHA” on each picture.
Finally, where do they get off harassing the president about this? Can you image at a press conference: “Mr. President what about the children, or the economy, or foreign affairs…” and then some crusty person steps forward, “In 2009, you killed a fly. What do you have to say for yourself?!? A fly is a living breathing thing and you had no right to take away its life like that.” UGH. What I think he should do is sell off their company to the highest bidder and then pump that into the American economy that way you kill two birds with one stone.

"PETA rips Obama for killing house fly" [ARTICLE]
WASHINGTON - The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House.
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 spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."
During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.
"Get out of here," the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.
"Now, where were we?" Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker."
Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.
Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."
Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter.

I cannot believe that they are going to make another Final Destination movie. The first and second movie were good. The third was okay. But it's done. There was absolutely no reason for another. They wrapped up everything in the first two then I guess did a third for "fun" or for the sake of doing things in three's.
