Jewcy has started posting "LOLjewz" photos in the same vein as the popular LOLcats series. My favorite one so far, titled "Chicken," deals with kapparot. The caption says "Iz vegatarian nao."
The Swine Flu Top 10
Last week, BangItOut.com came up with a list of the "Top Ten Signs Someone Has Swine Flu in Shul":
On October 28, Vegan.com (a Web site run by Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating author Erik Marcus) noted that three vegetarian/vegan books were in the Amazon top 100 sellers list. Marcus wrote, "I’d bet a lot of money that never before have" three items on Vegan.com's list of top 10 books been on the Amazon list at the same time. I've talked about the three books, all written by Jews, in the last month-plus: Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals, Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Diet, and Tal Ronnen's The Compassionate Cook.
On November 9, a week after Eating Animals was released, Marcus wrote, "It’s fair to say that no vegetarian-oriented book has ever received as much exposure as Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals has received this past week."
Speaking of Erik Marcus ...
On Friday night, I had a nightmare that Marcus merged with fellow Jews Michael Pollan and Peter Singer to form one monster that was trying to sabotage my dating life. This might have been even scarier than the nightmare I had a couple weeks ago, in which Natalie Portman ordered a Big Mac at McDonald's and only removed the bacon. Oh, the dreams of a Jewish-vegan blogger!
