TKC down on the Kansas City Country Club Plaza right now because I heard they were going to be cooking up a white woman.
To wit...
CHECK THE FIRST PHOTOS FROM TODAY'S PETA BBQ PROTEST ON THE PLAZA!!!
We talked to campaigner Matt Bruce and he wasn't shy about this shock tactic.
The PETA spokesmam said:
"Our model is legally as naked as she is allowed to be...This is about being provocative and reminding people that meat is murder before Memorial Day cookouts...Because Kansas City is such a BBQ town."
Here is a closer look at the hottie cookout...
Sadly, TKC did not get a serving of white broad but there were plenty of corporate white dudes hanging around trying to get a sniff.
Check the presser:
PETA TO 'BARBECUE' A HUMAN IN KANSAS CITY TO SHOW THAT MEAT IS MURDER
Flesh of Nearly Naked Activist Will Be 'Grilled' to Mark National Barbecue Month
Hoping to inspire residents to realize that a corpse is a corpse—whether fish, fowl, or even Frank—PETA protesters will "cook" a nearly naked PETA member on a grill outside Jack Stack Barbecue in Kansas City, Mo., on Wednesday to mark National Barbecue Month. PETA's point? That all animals are made of flesh, bone, and blood, just as humans are, and that eating meat entails eating the corpse of an animal who was an individual with feelings and a distinct personality.
"We are challenging Kansas City residents to think about what meat really is," says PETA Senior Vice President of Communications Lisa Lange. "Flesh is flesh, and animals feel pain and suffer, just as humans do, so if you'd never consider eating another human, you might want to think twice about eating other animals."
Chickens, pigs, cows, and fish feel pain and fear just as intensely as do the animals who share our homes with us, yet they are abused in ways that would be illegal if dogs and cats were the victims. On today's factory farms, chickens and turkeys have their throats cut while they're still conscious, piglets are castrated and have their tails cut off without being given any painkillers, and cows are hung upside down and are often skinned while they're still able to feel pain. On the decks of fishing boats, fish suffocate or are cut open while they're still alive.

Interesting side note, the PETA crew got a bit of flack from bystanders but they also recruited some support.
This young lady offered to hold a sign for a bit to help the cause.
TV newsies, feel free to use these pix.
And all of this meat talk is making me uncomfortable. TKC is gonna go grab a bagel and a coffee.
Hopefully, more in a bit...
