President Barack Obama showed the force was with him when he swatted and killed a pesky fly during an interview. Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid would be proud! Check out the Obama fly swat if you missed it.
Can anyone reassure me as to the health of Peta president Ingrid Newkirk? Lost in Showbiz is moved to voice concern after the video of Barack Obama killing a fly has yet to draw a Peta press release comparing it with the Holocaust – a full 24 hours after the incident.
Traditionally, it only takes about 12 seconds between a person of note engaging unfavourably with the animal kingdom and Ingrid issuing some ineffably witless communique in which madam likens their actions to genocide.
But there’s been absolutely nothing related to this fly-swatting incident that is dominating the news agenda in an otherwise quiet week. What the hell’s going on?
Perhaps the Peta president is preparing one of her nuanced demonstrations; perhaps she is trapped under something heavy. But the leader of the free world has fly-blood on his hands, and this silence smacks so much of complicity that it really will not do at all. Speak for England, Ingrid! [GUARDIAN UK]
