Whiz of the Web: Friday Fried Onions

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.

While I think it is about time that, as a country, we begin to seriously consider our consumption and its impact on the Earth, part of the problem I have with the environmental movement as a whole is that some supporters have surpassed a moderate interest and are hovering around in fanatic territory. (You should see some of the outlandish emails I get being on PETA's email list!) When extreme attitudes are expressed in an off-putting way, it does nothing to further the cause and often can serve to scare away people who would be otherwise interested. For instance: there are reports that Woody Harrelson forgot to bring his vegan shoes and belt to Cannes. His assistants could not track down any non-leather alternatives, so he had his shoes and belt flown to France! This is extreme (and extremely ridiculous). When someone becomes so rigid in their beliefs that they have accessories flown halfway around the world, things have gotten out of control. (Note: I will be adding this story to my on-going list of reasons why I believe the Apocalypse is close upon us.)

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment.
