John Scalzi sets off WWIII

So John Scalzi is procrastinating horribly (or procrastinating very well, depending on how you look at it), and today decided to tape bacon to his cat. Why? Because certain people were skeptical about that particular item being on his to-do list for the day. Never ever question a procrastinating writer!

Anyhow, it’s now gotten picked up on Fark on the beginning of its trip around the Interwebs, which should guarantee some moments of hilarious trolling and mashed-up picture-making…though I’m unclear on why the submitter felt the need to add an “SFW” tag. The post has the potential to set off WWIII, unfortunately, as Scalzi points out in the comments in reply to someone mentioning PETA:

It is true that the pictures feature both pet humiliation and meat, two things PETA is against. But as I say, Ghlaghghee was not harmed and the bacon is beyond caring.

Which naturally reminds me of this quote from George Carlin:

“When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?” This title offends all three major religions, and even vegetarians!
