  • ghee, on 02/25/2008, -1/+56But what's the return policy?
    • Knucklecallus, on 02/25/2008, -2/+23Excuse me, man-behind-the-return-counter, When I ordered my human online, I specifically designated the desired ethnicity to be Samoan. My human, obviously, is Thai.
    • Iamironman, on 02/25/2008, -0/+2yeah but how much does it cost to ship one of those things?
    • rentmitchum, on 02/25/2008, -1/+2You can't have had sex with it, I'd imagine..
    • rurounikengyrl, on 02/25/2008, -0/+2expiration date?
      • yoshitomi, on 02/25/2008, -0/+11If it's a female, I'd say 25, 26 tops.
    • NoStoppingUs, on 02/25/2008, -2/+3is it weird that i'm sorta turned on by this?
      • GliTCH82, on 02/25/2008, -0/+12No, but since it's a man in the picture, it might mean you're gay.
      • Iamironman, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1actually yeah you being turned on by a plastic wrapped human does make you kinda weird... and uh what he said (gay)
      • Florence44, on 03/02/2008, -0/+0No, not at all. To desire sex with a plastic man is a usual.
  • TheDiceMan, on 02/25/2008, -1/+17Here's the link to the article - 'Free Range Workers' - more pictures and explanations.

  • bagelpirate, on 02/25/2008, -1/+111free range whole human is PEOPLE!!!
  • Lain1k, on 02/25/2008, -17/+2I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords...
  • segiterrus, on 02/25/2008, -1/+7...and at only £18,550, it weighs in at a whopping 71.2kg
    • Berkana, on 02/25/2008, -1/+2That image would look a hell of a lot more interesting (in an artistic sense) if the guy in there were extremely fat. With all the rolls of fat squeezed down with saran wrap, it would be a lot less recognizable.
    • MrGreencastle, on 02/25/2008, -1/+1Hehe, I get it! Knee slapper for sure.
  • dvsbastard, on 02/25/2008, -11/+69Not an original concept unfortunately... A similar thing has been used several times during protests by those fruitloops at PETA...

    P.S. For every animal you don't eat - I'll eat three...
    • justinlarsen, on 02/25/2008, -5/+30Thanks Maddox.
    • RAEP, on 02/25/2008, -5/+12Hopefully they suffocated ;D
    • Berkana, on 02/25/2008, -4/+16As long as animals eat each other, I can't agree with PETA that eating meat is murder.
      Can I safely presume no PETA members have any dogs or cats? If they do, what the hell do they feed them? Vegetarian dog and cat food?
      • smurfsahoy, on 02/25/2008, -13/+4Yes. vegetables are cheap, and thats what many breeds of dogs and cats have been bred for. Giving raw meat to a lot of pets will hurt them/end up causing digestive problems, etc.
        • Cerebral, on 02/25/2008, -0/+6I think he means kibble that has meat (chicken, salmon, beef etc.) in it.
        • danomagnum, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1I think i'm gonna have to call shenanigans.
      • Nitrodist88, on 02/25/2008, -3/+6Not that I agree with PETA, but their response would probably be that we have a conscious & reasoning so we don't need to kill other animals when there are solutions that don't require it.
      • inhaler, on 02/25/2008, -5/+8Yes. You can feed your pets vegan dogfood. I think the oldest living dog has a vegan diet and is somewhere around like 29 Source: http://dogsinthenews.com/issues/0209/articles/0209 ...

        My reasoning for not eating meat: if someone can experience an emotional response to possible pain or fear of death that I inflict upon them, then I am doing something morally wrong. Why doesn't that apply to animals? No requisite for intelligence/conciousness/reasoning is required to exhibit emotion. We see it in higher mammals all the time (cats, dogs, etc). Doing something "humanely" is a speciesist rationalization. Better not do it at all.
        • doskir, on 02/25/2008, -5/+9your at the top of the foodchain behave yourself like youre supposed to and eat some lower level animals
        • thugok, on 02/25/2008, -1/+2Dog, sure. But good luck with your vegan cat.
        • kleptomaniac, on 02/25/2008, -3/+1Because animals that don't contribute anything useful to our life, economy or society other than providing food will be eaten. This moral argument is utter *****, you partake in activities every day which directly or indirectly cause pain and suffering in animals and even other humans, but it would to too convenient or dangerous for you to stop. Ever buy a shirt from a third world country? child labour. Ever use insulin? culled from a pig. ever taken an antibiotic or other medication? Probably tested on animals. ever had a blood test done involving the use of immunoglobulin? bled from a rabbit, and the list goes on. You could live the rest of your life avoiding anything that causes any sort of measurable pain and suffering, but it would be difficult, so how far do you take it? Apparently far enough to thumb your nose at the rest of us.
        • mahdaeng, on 02/25/2008, -1/+2Studies show that plants can perceive their surroundings and are even aware of danger. Does that mean that we shouldn't eat plants either?

          I fully respect your decision not to eat meat (I eat meat very sparingly, myself), but your reasoning is flawed.
      • HypocriteDigg, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1Actually that is what I feed my pets you dumb ***** ignorant redneck. You diggiots never cease to amaze me at your stupidity.
    • jimrooney, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1Perhaps not original, but a much nicer job.
      I instantly had a the image flash of a "whole chicken" in the supermarket.
      Well done.
    • stuma9000, on 02/25/2008, -7/+4For every animal you eat, I won't eat 500.
    • HypocriteDigg, on 02/26/2008, -0/+2First off, ***** all of you ignorant rednecks who hate animals and know nothing about PETA.

      Second, whole human is tasty. Almost as good as cows and pigs

  • bwoodall, on 02/25/2008, -5/+11i liked the PETA advertisement pictures better...

    • LimeParrot, on 02/25/2008, -1/+1Damn. That pic is oddly striking...
    • SteveIsTheDude, on 02/25/2008, -1/+1Thanks! The PETA pic is way more ***** up, DIGG!!
    • Chordinator, on 02/25/2008, -3/+0I'd hit that, and might even consider eating it... out.
    • frappe987, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1Seems you definitely have to rinse your PETA human thoroughly before consumption but the price is cheaper or is my dollar to pound conversion wrong. Does it only come in white meat?
    • khellendros1984, on 02/25/2008, -0/+8....That young lady doesn't *look* like she weighs 124kg...
      • danomagnum, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1It's the preservatives that add all the weight.
    • DetpackJump, on 02/25/2008, -0/+5275 pounds?
    • SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4At 275, I hope that's a 2 pack... or maybe 3.
  • Sammiboi, on 02/25/2008, -4/+55Free Range Whole Human

    Contains:
    Coke,
    McDonalds,

    Drugs.

    Nutritional information:
    Fat 60kg.
    • kxmjb, on 02/25/2008, -0/+6Isn't McDonalds fast food, or is there faster food?
      • Sammiboi, on 02/25/2008, -0/+5Actually, Coke, Fast Food and Fat can all be classified as McDonalds.
  • allenobendorf, on 02/25/2008, -2/+4Is it organic? It will sell much better.
  • monkeyshines, on 02/25/2008, -2/+4If I've done the math right, they've estimated the price of human meat at $230.19/lb
    • Protoss, on 02/25/2008, -0/+6Glad to see you finally found the right story....
      • monkeyshines, on 02/25/2008, -0/+0It's like Miss Sanders said when I passed first grade: "Fourth time's the charm!"
    • MetalCharms, on 02/25/2008, -2/+1Good god. That means I'm worth $42,320?
      How much does an arm way?
      • MrGreencastle, on 02/25/2008, -0/+9Not sure, but I bet when you find out there's no weigh you'd sell it.
    • MrGreencastle, on 02/25/2008, -0/+0Grr comments.
  • Sil369, on 02/25/2008, -3/+1Cloned Beef?
  • d3lta, on 02/25/2008, -2/+18Apparently "Whole Human + Shorts"... why would you buy someone clothed?
    • funkyjunk3, on 02/25/2008, -0/+13have you never eaten a chicken with dressing?
  • Daylightsun, on 02/25/2008, -3/+6Why can't they sell men like that?
    • Arcan, on 02/25/2008, -0/+12because they would die
    • chobitsbunny, on 02/25/2008, -0/+6They spoil when left without food or sex for longer than 24 hours!
  • DukeMojo, on 02/25/2008, -10/+80Yes, I realize that animals are as living as humans.

    But I'm a ***** omnivore. We are SUPPOSED to eat flesh.
    • dasdef, on 02/25/2008, -1/+6mmmmmmmm beef
    • Zaneris, on 02/25/2008, -3/+9Screw that, I'm a carnivore.
    • CrossCanyon, on 02/25/2008, -9/+2There's lots of good reasons for going vegetarian. Meat, yes, I eat it all the time. But I'd feel like I deserved it better it if I had to chase it down and cook it. Makes it more fair, I think.
      • cnot3, on 02/25/2008, -1/+10Plants are alive too! You think they want to be eaten?!?!? Better just starve to death and leave all the deliciousness for the rest of us.
        • inhaler, on 02/25/2008, -3/+3Some plants have developed their means of seed dispersal around consumption. Most of them are fruits.
      • CrudeDarkness, on 02/25/2008, -0/+5a male lion doesn't chase his prey, the female does.
      • atticus8, on 02/25/2008, -0/+8Do you think you only deserve the computer if you invent it yourself?
    • inhaler, on 02/25/2008, -6/+5You're also a mammal; shouldn't you be using oily glands to mark your territory, or using your mammary glands to supply milk to your young? The biological argument fails when we've developed beyond just our taxonomy. Show me another omnivore that has produced civilization and utilized reason to provide analogs to our natural processes (i.e. blenders for mastication, artificial milk for breast feeding, cars for travel, etc.)
      • adrenaline33, on 02/25/2008, -3/+11And show me another omnivore that changed what it ate because it is a big pussy
      • mGARANDEUR1, on 02/25/2008, -0/+3Since when did women stop breastfeeding altogether?
    • tgc1, on 02/25/2008, -4/+1I have some pretty interesting canine teeth. Real sharp like. It's strange because i've seen people with no indication of canine teeth (they are rounded off or flat). Even my molars have a bit of a sharp edge. I must have old genes or something.
  • sohorrifying, on 02/25/2008, -11/+3that position screams for a fudge packing
  • aceakm, on 02/25/2008, -1/+2Does it come in white?
    • jimrooney, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1Isn't the saying... "does it come in b..." ... oh. I see.
      Yeah, that wouldn't go over well.
  • BeeArePro, on 02/25/2008, -12/+18I strongly dislike vegetarians.
    • bbardlbradd, on 02/25/2008, -1/+11My girlfriend's a vegetarian, and she wouldn't be my gf if she was as annoying as the usual crowd. She eats what she wants, I eat what I want. I hear nothing about it, but when we go places, we have to make sure there's meatless foodz.

      I wish all vegetarians were as cool.
      • JeFurry, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1My wife is the same, and we're cool with it. I miss that we can't share as many food experiences - the "here, try this, it's gorgeous" thing can only work one way, of course - but I am proud of her strength of conviction. She had a good precedent for tolerance: Her parents are born -again Christians, and yet they're not at all overbearing and don't try to influence you to think their way. They're entirely willing to discuss it, but you have to raise the subject, not them. I don't share their viewpoints, but they sure as heck have my respect.
    • d03boy, on 02/25/2008, -0/+14I think they taste fine
    • digggggggggg, on 02/25/2008, -0/+13Most vegetarians go about their business and eat what they want to eat without trying to spread their beliefs to others.

      It's just the extremely vocal minority that ruins it for the entire group.
    • cnot3, on 02/25/2008, -3/+2They get sick easily and pass on colds and flus to the rest of us! In all seriousness though, meat is an essential portion of a healthy human diet, there is just no substitute for the nutrition you get from it, thats why vegetarians always look pasty and constantly have a cold. If we weren't supposed to eat meat, we wouldn't have canines, and it wouldn't be so delicious.
      • joshtj, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1That is rubbish. Vegetarians can eat unhealthily just like the rest of us, and those are symptoms of a bad diet, not a vegetarian diet.
        • Cerebral, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1I think cnot3 is alluding to the two diets being one in the same.
    • stuma9000, on 02/25/2008, -1/+1I strongly dislike simpletons (looking at you BeeArePoo)
    • SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/25/2008, -0/+4I like vegetarians. I don't care for vegans, but I hate vegans who proselytize veganism.
  • rawnzilla, on 02/25/2008, -2/+7The packaging is a bitch to open. I have to get the scissors out and they sometimes damage the product when I'm opening it.
  • BerenTW, on 02/25/2008, -5/+43do they come in female?
  • cl2yp71c, on 02/25/2008, -2/+5Tastes like chicken?(with MSG)
    • Cwo655321, on 02/25/2008, -0/+7...only the Chinese flavor. But you'll only be hungry an hour later.

  • BeeArePro, on 02/25/2008, -1/+3I'm going to get one for Thanksgiving, and I'm doing the stuffing myself, no butter needed.
  • hangingchad, on 02/25/2008, -8/+2Fcuk PETA!!!! This is a cause that spoiled suburbanites and celebrities support so that they can feel good about themselves. Oh, I feel so good because I can stop the slaughter of cute fuzzy animals ignoring the fact that the leather in your fancy shoes and bags, the cosmetics you paint on your face, the medicines you enjoy today, etc. can too some extent be attributable to animal "cruelty". Don't even bring up that Peta doesn't care if the animals being slaughtered are not cute. When was the last time you heard them complain about the slaughter of so called pests like mice and rats. With so many more important and pressing issues in the world, shame on you Peta supporters on wasting your time on such a ***** cause. Here's a cause for you, end world starvation, kill more animals.
    • Arcan, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1I'm as anti-PETA as the next guy, but I don't think this is supposed to be related.
  • Longbow97, on 02/25/2008, -1/+12A new fleshlight marketing scheme?
  • uziko, on 02/25/2008, -4/+1i hate peta a lot
  • ruski1985, on 02/25/2008, -1/+1They shouldn't let it sit out like that, it will go bad unless refridgerated.
  • Teh_Shiz, on 02/25/2008, -5/+3Can I get this in female?
  • aahamedi, on 02/25/2008, -3/+5It hurts my head to think that people out there actually think a human life is equal to that of a cow. I'm by no means saying they can't believe that, I just want them to stop forcing their ideas on the us with ridiculous shock stunts like this that only make them seem more irrelevant and crazy.
    • MarvinGalaxy, on 02/25/2008, -1/+5There is no way I am worth as much as a cow. Cows are worth money and I'm negative value. Most people in the world would be worth more as meat than as a person and that is why this picture is art.
      • SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/25/2008, -0/+3Your lifetime earnings are much higher than a cow's. That is unless you're a deadbeat and leech off of government handouts.
    • waydee, on 02/25/2008, -1/+3We're all the same air breathing ***** producing bags of flesh, one of us just has the advantage of being a lot smarter than the other. That said, I tend to forge better relationships with humans than cows.

    • tuumi, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1"forcing their ideas on the us"
      Comments like this always bug me. How are you being forced? Don't like the idea? Then keep moving.
  • bridezillah45, on 02/25/2008, -7/+0lol dat b dope lol

  • inferno10, on 02/25/2008, -8/+4I'll have a slice of vag please.
  • Longbow97, on 02/25/2008, -9/+4Oh, well, isn't this just ***** great?

    All that's missing is a caption by some liberal, NYU art student explaining how this fully portrays man's corporate-slavery in the modern world or some other deep, intellectual *****, while really, the student has no clue what the ***** this is supposed to mean at all, because, in truth, he came up with it after youthful drug experimentation and a curious analysis of Goatze, while contemplating the nature of his sexual orientation for hours on end.

    *****.
    • DonTazeMeBro, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1Hence why I hate English class...

    • digginaround, on 02/25/2008, -0/+0Actually, I think that just about covers it. I suppose the student you portrayed could go into more detail about it, but I think you've got it covered. Kudos. :P
  • the13thzen, on 02/25/2008, -1/+1This picture really freaks me out.

  • DonTazeMeBro, on 02/25/2008, -2/+7Hear me out, I really dislike eating meat, mainly animal derived, always have, but until recently I haven't had the courage to acknowledge that in my household. However, ever since I have, I always get alot of crap from my folks at the dinner table, specifically from the father. It's not that I'm against the whole murdering of animals, it's understandable they are needed for survival. My real reason is because I highly dislike the usage of growth hormones and antibiotics when 'cultivating' the animal, that ends up in me. Now, I don't really know what to do, I do eat meat from time to time, but it's a dilema, especially when I get the whole 'you're not going to change the world by [insert ecofriendly method here]' rethoric.
    • IllBeBack, on 02/25/2008, -9/+4dude r u gay?
    • wolferz, on 02/25/2008, -1/+4if you would explain that you aren't trying to change the world, but rather trying to take care of your own health they wouldn't be able to use such comments... unless that's not really why you are doing it which is really the only reason "changing the world" would even come up...

      Oh and when they say "well I've eaten meat all my life and I'm healthy" you can start with pointing out usage of growth hormones and such has only been common for a few decades. Follow this by pointing out your parent's health problems and ask if their parents had as many problems. If you feel like being a bit underhanded harp on "conditions" your parents have been diagnosed with that were not official on the books during their parents time such as acid reflux (and there-for their parents COULDN'T have been diagnosed with). Finally point out all the things people used to think were healthy but are now known not to be.. such as DDT and tobacco.
    • inhaler, on 02/25/2008, -2/+3"It's not that I'm against the whole murdering of animals, it's understandable they are needed for survival."

      I'm pretty sure I'm surviving right now, and yet I'm not murdering or consuming animals. I think you need to work on your rationale. Like I mentioned in another post, we're not teetering on the edge of starvation in the African savanna, and thus we're not functioning at the base levels of Maslow's Hierarchy. We're entitled to reason at this point as to what impact our diet has on ourselves and other life. If we do end up at a point of starvation, then the debate is over, but that's the design of the hierarchy.
    • tgc1, on 02/25/2008, -1/+1I see your point. But you should also be aware that scientists are currently screwing around with our vegetables and plants as well. Genetically modifying them. There is also the pesticides that end up in the vegetables. So, you really are limiting yourself, better be careful with nutrition. If you want to skip meat, I suggest beans they have some good protein numbers.

      I was a vegetarian for 9 months. After that I couldn't take it anymore and have eaten meat like a cave man ever since. I did encounter what you are now. People tend to frown on picky eaters. It's culturally ingrained in our minds that we eat what is put in front of us, and finish everything (north american mentality). If you get picky about meats and so on, people tend to look at you as a nuisance. I applaud your concern for your well being, but i'd suggest perhaps trying to get your meat locally or from a farmer if possible. Get to know your local butcher and ask about the meat and see if they can address your concerns. Seeing as since the only thing you seem concerned with is the hormones in the meat.
    • waydee, on 02/25/2008, -1/+1You are in no way required to consume meat thats been ***** around with, pumped full of hormones, drugs, kept in a dank battery cage etc. You are a human with the ability to hunt or the smarts to find sources of good meat.
      I agree with you though, the way we 'grow' animals these days is disgusting. Its sad that someone can not have a problem with eating meat, rather a problem with how it is produced and find that the most workable solution is vegetarianism. My only advice would be to seek out good, naturally produced meat and pay the associated higher cost or work as hard as you can to be in a position to source it yourself.

    • ConanTL, on 02/25/2008, -1/+3So you're telling me that if a primate rapes another primate, we should then allow rape? Since when do we take our ethical cues from nature?

      Meat is not murder, I don't believe that is what they're trying to say. I believe this is a protest against the way the majority of our meat is produced, the battery farms, the growth enhancers, the artificial environments and treatment of sentient life in much the same way as crops and the consumers with very little idea of what they're eating and who could never slaughter a chicken in their own homes yet will quite happily buy one 'grown' in the fastest possible time with very little/absolutely no chance of a normal happy life that we ourselves seem to expect - wrap it in plastic and sell it buy one get one free and people don't give a *****.

      Its a protest of industrialised meat production.
      • ConanTL, on 02/25/2008, -1/+2No it's not. Look at the label: "Free Range". The message is that meat is murder no matter if it came from a factory from or some sort of happy meat farm.
