Angela knows how much I love salad (my salad bowl is rather hefty, I must say) so that’s probably why she sent me the collection of women laughing alone with salad.
If I wasn’t incredibly lazy and/or busy I’d make this into a screensaver. (That’s right, lazy and/or busy. Not confused by technology. I totally know how to do that stuff. I will screensave your face if you don’t lay off, mister.) This would actually be a pretty effective productivity helper, I reckon: you get hungry enough that you stop pressing keys on the keyboard, screensave recognizes that you’re hungry, starts showing you pictures of women and salad, and you get inspired. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes mandatory in some countries. Government weirdo, YOU’RE WELCOME.
Anyway, all things considered, y’all got off pretty easy for a site like Vegan Porn picking some link of themed stock photography. You don’t even want to think about the collections I could have gone with, and you certainly don’t want to consider the screensavers the unthinkable collections could have made. Of course, if you did, you’d eventually be taken out of shock by the salad screensaver you just set up, so it’s OK.
Update: (yes, this update was added before the post even went live. We’re living in the future, please try to keep up): Men laughing alone with fruit salad.

Vegan Skeptic took the time to check out what Google’s automatic search suggestions had to say about people’s opinions of veganism. The results weren’t flattering:
There are a ton of other searches on the original post, so be sure to check them out!
Clearly, this is a system that needs to be gamed (not that I, owner of Vegan Porn, have any experience with messing with search engine results,) and your new daily practice is to do one consistent Google search to see if we can’t take back the autocomplete. Let’s see, it has to be awesome, and something we can all agree with, and I just read a bunch of twitter updates involving the meme of the moment, so clearly, our clear-cut mission is clear, and we all need to search for “why are vegans in my pants” as often as possible.
I await the amazing results, but I am a realist and I will pack food, as this could take a while. Also, food is tasty.
And let’s not take the current set of results too seriously. A few years ago someone from one of the search companies pointed out that most people think the internet is entirely made of NASCAR and kittens, and it’s all brought to you by the big blue E on the desktop, and I don’t think much has changed. Witness:
I honestly don’t know if the vegan bit at the end is a good thing or not.
As I mentioned in this week’s porncast, sorry for the lack of updates this week – I’m in a situation that’s the professional equivalent of the 80′s sitcom standby of the guy with two dates on the same night with two different people. But here’s something Angela sent me a little while back:
And as my title so eloquently puts it, yes, almost everything needs to be spelled out, but be aware that omnivores can figure out when you’re making stuff up. Sometimes, anyway. My “veggie burgers? Well, they sculpt a cow out of tofu, yeah, life sized, and then they stab it in the throat and grind it up into patties” story hasn’t met much acceptance, but it’s all I’ve got and I’ll cling to it like a clingy thing is wont to cling to other things.
And speaking of the Facebook, it was brought to my attention the other day that I don’t have links to our presence there – you can fan us up if you so desire. I was thinking of putting those “Like” buttons on every post like I do on Staying Vegan, but the “P” word may or may not be the kind of thing that people want to see too much of on their walls (for the record, the VP page says “Vegan Pooooooorrrrrnnnn” or something like that.)

Seriously? This person’s grandchildren will kick him or her in the nads when they realize the legacy that was denied them:
Portions of that screen shot were edited in. No, not the asparagus.

Just because Ange sent me this doesn’t mean I’m about to add loggers and filters to the Thrust Labs internet connection, but there’s apparently a new dating site in town and this one focuses on members’ companion animals. No, it’s not for arranging play dates for your terrier, it just takes your animal preferences into account so if you live with, say, a siamese cat, you don’t hook up with someone that lives with a rare siamese cat-eating balooka lizard. Over the years I’ve heard from a few people who feel that their companion animals, whether it’s one cat or a sanctuary-level herd of critters, has had an impact on their dating life, so this is an interesting niche that hopefully will spill over to the more mainstream dating sites. I can’t connect to the site at the moment, which may not even be in English, so there’s no word if “I don’t eat them” is included anywhere in visitor profiles’ list of animal preferences. Link.

The internet is a wonderful place where all your dreams can come true, even if your dream is for broccoli to become Broc Lee, a martial artist who fights ninja carrots. You heard me, ninja carrots. Check out the video and thank Ange for the link: Link.
Quick, someone send this one to the folks who run The Apprentice: I want to hear The Donald say “the vegan product in-dustry is a 2.8 billion dollar in-dustry,” because it is, and more people need to know about it than kunsjoi, who sent in the story, which is a decent article spotlighting several vegan enterprises in Arizona, of all places. Link.

All the penis posts this week are from Dagda Samildanc. I don’t plan these things, they just happen. Frankly, I’m just a caveman, and I don’t understand your internet ways, but I do know this: when I hear of an eBay auction for penis-shaped peppers, I figure yeah, uh-huh, how penis-shaped can they be, and then I click on the link and I know for sure. Now you will too: Link.

We haven’t posted any Flash-based propaganda lately, so here’s one from Magic Stones – the Organic Consumers Association would like everyone to buy organic flowers and organic fair trade chocolate this Valentine’s Day. I’m mostly posting this one because there’s a bit with Sigfried and Roy in it that didn’t go at all like I really, really, really thought it would. Not trying to spoil anything here or nothin’, but it came so close to being the greatest thing I have ever seen, and then fell a million miles short. Link.
