Suicide is Painless...and Delicious

By "Milbarge" and "Fitz-Hume"

Back when I was in law school, my group of friends would go to lunch together pretty regularly, and we were always on the lookout for a good barbecue joint. One of the guys had a theory that you could tell how good the barbecue was by examining how "human" the pig in the restaurant's logo was acting. I remember one picture of a pig driving a tank, complete with helmet and everything. Now that's pretty human. We concluded, after much study, that the most human thing a pig could be doing in a bbq logo is cooking a pig. That makes sense, right?

Well, maybe we were on to something. Via Jeff from Side Salad's day job blog, The Stew, the exceedingly creepy website Suicide Food. In their words, it contains "any depiction of animals that act as though they wish to be consumed." It's kind of amazing how common this motif is. Enjoy, but ask yourself if this is what we have to stoop to so that we're able to eat those cute but tasty animals.

My favorite image:

As a bonus, a classic "SNL" commercial for "Cluckin' Chicken" that fits perfectly with this theme.
