quote: ORIGINAL: rulemylife quote: ORIGINAL: DarkSteven I can't believe that the media even mentioned that he swatted a fly. I was expecting the PETA article to be from the Onion. I'm really sorry it wasn't. It happened during an interview and it was on all the news channels, complete with a close-up of the dead fly. When you have 24 hours a day to fill you have to report whatever you can get. Egads! The things that they put on TV. I suppose the fly deserves to be treated like we treat Iraqis!!! (bad joke)

You have to time thier takeoff? I just snatch them out of the air throw them against the wall and step on them, how slow are you

He should have caught the fly with chopsticks. As Miyagi says "Man who catch fly with chopsticks accomplish anything."

As stupid as it seems to be up in arms against Obama for killing the fly, PETA has accomplished a goal... people are talking about them and they are in the news. It is nice to see that not everyone is fooled by PETA and their message.

Nuke the damn flies, man. Besides, isn't Peta too busy raping their vegetables? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gd9pfV2MwU

Very impressive indeed my thoughts exactly....that wasn't as easy a feat as one would think!!....[:D]....and personally i also thought it was a nice piece on the Prez being as human as the rest of us. We don't get many inside looks at the life of those in the White House, and i, for one thoroughly enjoyed seeing the guy swat that pesky fly. Gave me a peek at his UNPresidential personality....and i STILL like the guy.....[:)].....GO 'BAMA! GO 'BAMA! GO 'BAMA.....

It was staged. The fly was drugged. Just another "media event."

"This is the group that also believes that pet ownership is cruel." Then why is it on an occasion or two when I've been hanging with a Lesbian friend with her big healthy dog on a leash enjoying lattes, a PETA - tard walks up and asks HER for money? What the fuck is up with THAT? It's like a Scientoligist asking Carl Jung to buy his sorry ass a drink because he can't get laid despite what Tom Cruise promised.

I think I'll send Obama a Venus Fly Trap. How can PETA be upset about a nature made fly trap verus a man made Katcha?

Marc, I don't know whether to be impressed or rather concerned that you have studied this process in such detail. Give me an electronic zapper that fries them with a satisfying WizzzZap! on contact anyday. [:D] quote: ORIGINAL: Marc2b quote: Flies are HARD to swat, they always manage to take off just before I smack them. The trick is to strike when they are rubbing their front legs together. Flys take off by leaping and they need all six legs down to do so. Striking when they do the leg rubbing thing gives you an extra half second. The two handed clap has a higher success rate then the single handed strike. For best results, bring your hands up a little as you strike. The fly will take off when he sees the movement so you need a little elevation to get him (to use a military term, you need to lead him).

As someone who wouldn't intentionally kill a fly, just want to interject that PETA is an extremist, insane organization that is an affront to the cause of animal welfare. Also, they're an organization rife with hypocricy: more animals taken into their 'care' are killed than at most high-kill shelters in America. It is a shame that PETA is the face that most people place on the animal welfare movement. Davan

quote: ORIGINAL: EyemKnotHear how stupid flies arent animals theyre insects nasty insects at that There are two kinds of living beings, plants and animals. Plants have cell walls, are anchored to a surface, usually the earth, and usually produce their own food via photosynthesis. Animals are mobile, their cells have no cell walls, and they do not produce their own food. ALL insects are part of the animal kingdom. No exceptions.

We humans are a strange lot. In order to save the whales, we will attack a whaling vessel and risk killing the crew of humans, not to mention polluting the ocean when the ship sinks carrying who knows what. In order to save babies, we will blow up an abortion clinic and risk killing the adults inside. Now everytime a fly or spider is killed in a movie, we'll have to see the disclaimer "No insects or arachnids were killed during the making of this film." How many freaking stunt spiders did they use in Arachnaphobia?
