Oddly descriptive and a bit too honest

Yikes! Your vegan site is right. Hell really is other people.

This is too funny. I love these crazy things you find in the media. It reminds me of an ad for a local news segment that came on the other night and they stated “men, tune in at 11 to find out how doing more work around the house can score you extra points in the bedroom”. I’m sitting there like, ummm, is this a joke, or do people actually tune in at 11 to see this stuff.
On another note, I discovered your blog after becoming a paid subscriber to vegan freak radio today and listening to the episode with Vesanto Melina. Honestly, that’s why I subscribed since I’m going to school to become an RD and I need all the support I can get since I’m pretty much taking on an uphill battle by standing firm as a vegan. I think my argument for veganism is much more compelling than the view of my professors, but that’s a whole different story.
Oh, and on a final note, I remember in a previous episode you talked about Coast to Coast AM. Well, my partner and I are both into “freaky” shit, so we decided to pay for that too and have a listen, since it airs only from 2-5 AM in our region (we’re in Philly). Now I’m totally into Coast to Coast and although I approach everything with a huge amount of skepticism, I find a lot of the stuff they talk about really resonates with things I believe in (minus the reptilian society, haha).
Okay, that’s the end of my annoyingly long comment that had no direction whatsoever, except for me to go on about whatever popped into my head.
Keep up the good work!!

It’s a fairly regular thing for my parents to go through the Saturday and Sunday Beacon on Sunday mornings (we live in the Akron area…) and go through the local crime section, it is AMAZING what they print, always ridiculously entertaining. I think this is one of the better ones I’ve seen though.
