Insider FAQ's at FAUX - hilarious
INSIDER FAUXQ's:

You have the best-dressed male newscasters with the nicest suits I have seen on TV. Do you require this of everyone, or do you supply all their clothes?

I love some of the music that I hear on FNC. Who creates it and how can I purchase a copy of it?



Jesus these people are pathetic.

While I was nosing around in the bowels of the FAUX website I came across a link to one of their advertisers, a diet doctor who claims all those pesky diet nazis have it wrong. If anything it reveals that, for FAUX viewers, the more obvious and grotesque the lie, the more it appeals. It also says something about the obvious contempt FAUX has for the intelligence of its viewers that they would link to this crackpot. Here's a taste:

Everyone's hollering 'EAT YOUR VEGETABLES'

But please don't overdo it. Because the actual figures reveal:

VEGETARIANS DIE YOUNGER. Oh, they tell you they're healthier, but census data shows the opposite. Plus...


VEGETARIAN KIDS ARE SICKLIER. The Archives of Pediatric Adolescent Medicine reports that children reared on these diets are at higher risk for 'impaired psychomotor development.


VEGETARIAN DIETS WON'T EVEN MAKE YOU MORE REGULAR. Even teenage vegetarians are 8 times more likely to use laxatives!


AND THEY could SAP YOUR SEX LIFE AND YOUR STRENGTH. This is not a myth. In fact, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School have linked meatless, low-protein diets to slumping sex function and muscle loss and bone damage.




I include links for verification purposes, but please feel free not to use them.

3. its disgusting when you think about it
or at least it is when I think about it

a dead animal, once alive and aware, roaming the earth as we all do, killed and cut up and cooked - "mmmmm, a tendon" - doesn't sound good for you, or the other creature.

meat really is murder, most just disagree over the significance of the murdered - does their pain and death matter?

4. yep.."even teenagers use laxatives"... That's not because they
are constipated.. It's because the "mass media" tells them that if they weigh over 100 lbs, they are F A T ..and no one will ever love them..THAT'S why they take laxatives, and puke their guts up after meals...and set their alarms for 3 AM so they can run on the treadmill for 4 hours before school..:eyes:
