Suicide Food is a Weblog that highlights food logos in which the animal is cheerily participating in its own consumption. Hilarious idea. This one, in which the happy cow is being sliced up alive, is just unbelievable and enough to make you go vegan.
Reminds me of the "Clucky the Chicken" parody commercial on "Saturday Night Live," where the chicken happily takes you through his slaughter and cooking. Adam Sandler was the voice of Clucky, while Phil Hartman played the dad consumer.

- I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog, Facebook, and Twitter.

OMG this makes me SOOOO happy! Food that wants to be eaten in commercials has always bothered me deeply (remember the french fry commercial with the potato who was all sad she wasn't good enough to get in?) and it's always encouraging to find someone else who understands!
And those suicidal wannabe Foster Farms chickens.
A friend of mine went vegetarian immediately and apparently permanently when we saw that Cluck'n Chicken bit in the college dorm back in the day (13-ish years ago).
I wrote about personified food mascots last year, and I am glad to know that I am not the only one who thinks they are evil.
