THE FLESH THAT YOU FESTIVELY FRY: Quoting extensively from a Morrissey PETA interview (office safe, but be warned: there's a picture of Mozzer in which he looks more like Russ Abbot, Eric Olsen in the Home of the BlogCritics takes issue with the central contention of Meat Is Murder. Now, we know from experience over on bothsidesnow that nothing polarises opinion (a polite way of saying 'can turn a warm place into an icy shouting match') like the whole meat-not meat debate, but we think that Olsen's reasoning (meat isn't murder because only people can be murdered) is as flaky as Morrissey's (it's death for no reason, and death for no reason is murder - can i just say, as a vegetarian, that even i can see the reason why people kill pigs and sheep - it's to eat them, isn't it?). Anyway, this is more to bring attention to Olsen's tales of how the Smiths were funked up for the American market, which folds interestingly with Morrissey's contention that meat needs a lot of spicing and preparation before its ready to eat...
