The funny thing is I was listening to cat stevens when I clicked on that link.

It's very obvious that somebody has far too much free time on their hands.

I really dont think thats terribly funny.
Its not offensive to me, but I have to say that it perpetuates a stereotype that is less than flattering in this society.

It just reminds me of the disrespectful images portrayed by Ambercrombie and Fitch a year or so ago with their degrading images of asian people and the Buddhist faith.

People will now dislike me I am sure, but I dont eat any kind of meat period, so I wont be easy to slam wen I say, I cant see the difference in eating a cat, eating a dog, or eating a cow, or a pig.
They are all dead animals... why should it be weird or funny to eat one when it isnt to eat the other?

huh.:rolleyes:
Just not too funny.
sorry to be a downer...

I found it funny because I tend to eat at chinese places several times a week.

Meat is meat, and as the old joke goes, it all tastes like chicken. :)

I meant no offence.

It's a matter of culture, or lack there of. Some people find punting chicahuahuas and poodles funny, others don't. I find the idea of eating a cat hilarious. I know someone who got mad at some people and actually fed them a cat. I found it to be extremely funny. Was the guy asian? No, good ole fashioned WV redneck. But at one time, a local chinese resteraunt was doing the same thing, did I find that funny? No. When it is intended to be funny, people can laugh. Remember, humor is the flip side of fear.

While it may be a matter of culture the fact remains that there are a lot of second generation Asian Americans who are likely to find this to be disrespectful. It is just a terrible stereotype... just like all "Orientals" know "Karate". And thats all I wanted to point out.

again, I am not offended:rolleyes: I just dont think it is very funny. :rolleyes: It is poor taste. :rolleyes:

Frankly I just stated my feelings on thematter. Honestly--why do people find it necessary to explain themselves? If you find this kind of thing funny thats your issue, not mine. Who cares what I think? :shrug:
