Morrissey is one crazy bastard, and that’s what we love about him. While most of us gathered with our loved ones to partake in an obscene amount of gluttony and probably a lot of arguments about stupid shit, Morrissey was preparing to unleash a new anti-Thanksgiving (THANKSKILLING!) and anti-Barack Obama manifesto and aren’t we all lucky to be alive to read it?
From his True to You fanzine (that he writes in himself? Like, what?):
Please ignore the abysmal example set by President Obama who, in the name of Thanksgiving, supports torture as 45 million birds are horrifically abused; dragged through electrified stun baths, and then have their throats slit. And President Obama laughs. Haha, so funny!
As Ingrid Newkirk from PETA points out, turkey ‘meat’ is one of “our nation’s top killers”, causing heart-attacks and strokes in humans due to saturated animal fats and cholesterol. And President Obama laughs.
Further, the meat industry is responsible for 51% of human-caused greenhouse-gas emission, therefore the embarrassingly stupid White House ‘turkey pardon’ is open support for a viciously cruel and environmentally irresponsible industry.
And President Obama laughs.
LOL, okay. I mean, listen – bless all the activists in the world who are fighting for causes they’re passionate about and all that, but Morrissey is so over-the-top that I can’t take a word he says seriously. Sorry, dude.
