With swine flu, the economy and what I can only describe as a ridiculous business model, the pork industry has been having a really bad run of things for the past few years. I weep, I truly do.

One Toronto slaughterhouse managed to escape the carnage by, well, a fiery death. Rumoured to be arson for insurance, the New York Pork (yes, in Toronto) slaughterhouse burnt down in 2006.

Recently, Jonathan Castellino visited the site and took some stunning pictures that remind me of playing Doom years ago (trivia: when Doom ran TV ads, they featured actors playing slaughterhouse workers.) The one with the briefcase on the desk is one of the weirdest, be sure to check it out on the BlogTO page with writeup as well as on the author’s Flickr photo set.

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

1) Birds are wicked smart, and videos about wicked smart birds are always welcome.
2) “Busting nuts” is a phrase that makes me giggle.

OK, I should probably, like, promote my projects and all that, because you can only look at vegan porn for so long before you start practicing with the baby making and then eventually you’re really making babies and then you’ve got a baby and it’s a vegan baby and oh crap what do you do now?

You go to Spawn Better dot com of course. Because the best way to make more vegans is to make more vegans.

Why? Because we’ve got a lot of readers with children, and we support our lovely readers. We’d support Pew, but someone already made Shut Up Woman Get On My Horse. So we did this. More details on the about page.

I may have written about this in the past, but here’s a link with a photo, just in case I missed it:

Sadly, I’ve no idea if the recipes are vegan, so we’ve yet to have a conclusive forum-buster image for answering the always hilarious swallowing question.

New focus, new schmocus. I’m just funnin’ with y’all: the Monster Whopper will terrorize your buttocks.

I first saw this on Facebook, and the first easily-linkable version was here:

My biggest “what’s missing?” would be “talks about how he/she doesn’t really eat that much meat,” what’s yours?

Don’t you judge me; I just felt guilty about the radio silence. Real news will return when the employment beatings stoplessen.

Original here.

If you want something (mildly) more interesting, I just posted something to the ‘Better about Facebook banning dairy, in promotions, anyway.

I have many questions about this shirt beyond “where can I get one?” Thankfully the interweb has anticipated my needs and supplied the handy catch-all “WTF?”

(And no, this isn’t an example of my “happier porn” direction, but come on, where else on the internet does a picture like this belong? You know, besides everywhere.)

Apologies for the lack of posts recently. Part of this has been that I’m crazy busy, but there’s something else going on too:

I don’t want to post negative things anymore.

No more rants about whatever stupid tricks McDonald’s and company are up to now, no more stories about some idiot doing something horribly cruel to animals, no posts about a new study showing meat is bad for you. What’s the point? You already know this stuff. And it feels like whining.

Instead, I want to focus on the awesome. I want this to be vegan porn in the best possible way, where you can come here and find out what’s kick ass about being vegan.

I’m still thinking it through, and let’s face it, the news media loves negative stuff, so it’s a bit harder to find good content to talk about, so bear with me while I figure out a format that works…
