The Easter Bunny Owns A SweatShop

Now I guess you can say I am an animal lover and all, I have had my fair share of pets and my mum can tell you a bizzillion of animal stories of having an animal farm in a Suburban st. But as of Wednesday, I have become very alarmed.

Wednesday at 9:30, Channel 10 premiered a show that they advertised as “controversial”, and that ladies and gentleman was an understatement. The show was presented by the chef Jamie Oliver and it was about the plight of the “product” chicken.

You might think, why on earth would i care? I might of had said the same thing, until i saw this show. It started off with Jamie revealing to the audience newly born chicks and he then asked the audience to seperate the males from females (this can be done easily by anyone who isn’t colour blind as males and females are of different colours). Jamie then took the seperated chicks and put the males in a large see through container. We were then told that he was going to show us what happens with chicks owned by factories. He then proceded to gas the chicks and kill them. Yes, he killed them right before my very eyes.

The reason for this show was to show the injustices givent to these chickens. Seeing the dead chicks I could not think of anything worse, until I saw the life the live chiks would expirience, and let me tell you, if they had a choice, they would take death. The chickens once they start to mature are shoved in an overcrowded tiny cage in which there is so little room that their feathers are ripped off from the bars of the metal cages. The chickens would be covered in their own filth and looked diseased. I asked myself, why does this happen, why do these poor creatures suffer such a life? Well the blame goes directly to you the reader and myself.

It was revealed in the show that for every chicken the farmer recieved the equivalent to 5 cents. Imagine how many chickens you would need to make some money. You would need hundreds of thousands and who has the money to properly care for chickens when they are worth so little? The things is saw were disgraceful and it needs to change. In some places it is changing, by 2010 it will be outlawed in Britain, but this will be the only place.

We need to stress the to help those who cant help themselves and we can start on a very small scale. Everybit counts. You can help simply by spending a little more by getting FREE RANGE EGGS and MEAT, check the labellingit will have it there. Sure it costs a little more, but isnt it worth knowing you were not responsible for the harming of creatures who cant help themselves?

The Times They Are A-Changin’

Yes, Bob Dylan. One of the greatest artists ever.

So, with newly built press, comes newly built ideas. This idea comes mainly from you, the reader. Yes, >>Diplomat! will bite his tongue and listen to the opinions of others.

Now, what I would like is for you to watch the news or see something you would like to be seen written in the press and email it to me at psychobabble.press@gmail.com. Please no spam.

You can send me ideas, tell me how to run the place or send me a slap in the face, whatever you like. Also, if you would like to voice your own opinion peice and would like to see your work on the press send it through. Hey, if I can get this built up enough maybe I will need some writers.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Psychobabble Press

Holy heart failure, Batman!

Yes, it’s back, the press it’s back for a third time and it is here to stay. Yes you heard it here first, not from some scummy tabloid magazine but here at Psychobabble Press!!!

You can hear the jubilation in the streets as I announce our triumphant return. People over turning cars, riots in the streets and Obama gives a speech on how happy he is of this news in Berlin. Yes, it’s good to be back.

Now you may say, well, are you going to break my heart again by giving two half arsed posts and leaving? Hell NO, like a Catholic at World Youth Week, I have the Joy joy down in my heart as I come to you from a new office, well not office it’s a new computer in my bedroom, oh but what a computer it is.

So enjoy the posts to come and maybe i can let >>Diplomat! out of his cage.
