Bored? Nothing to do? I mean, absolutely nothing that would add to the betterment of life on this here Earth? Like taking out the trash. Or dusting your furniture. Or turning off the TV?
Then you probably might as well join this campaign condemning AFLAC commercials for “degrading ducks.”
No, I’m really serious here. Or, at least, United Poultry Concerns is.
Needless to say, there’s probably some worthwhile things that UPC does in terms of the conditions of factory farms, etc. But actually urging a letter-writing campaign about the AFLAC commercial betrays an attitude that is so over the top that, like PETA, it poisons the whole well of everything else they have to say.

I think AFLAC is actually promoting a *positive* portrayal of ducks. And GEICO has really brought talking geckos to a new level of respect.
It’s almost worth writing a letter to AFLAC to say how much you’re enjoyed their commercials (they’re some of the funniest around).
I expect the National Beef Industry to go after the California Cheese commercials next.
I didn’t check out the page, but I have to wonder if the UPC objects to Chik-fil-A’s “EAT MORE CHICKIN” campaign.
Or how about those Chicken Whopper commercials? Chickens forced to dress up in white majorette boots – appalling!
