An animal rights group placed a tombstone with a hidden message in Cave Hill Cemetery, the graveyard in which the founder of KFC is interred. The grave marker was originally approved by the cemetery, but officials said they were tricked. Now they want it removed.

The headstone is actually not meant to be a memorial for a person. Instead, it’s for animals — all part of a scheme by PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. At first glance, the tombstone looks like any other grave marker. But a closer look at the epitaph reveals a deeper meaning. A seemingly innocuous poem is inscribed on the headstone, but when read vertically; the first letter of each line spells out “KFC Tortures Birds.” The plot purchased by PETA, with living PETA member Matthew Prescott’s name on it, is strategically located near the memorial of Kentucky Fried Chicken founder, Col. Harland Sanders.“We believe that this is directed at Col. Sanders and KFC, and again, if we had known this in advance we would not have permitted this,” said Barr.

If you read the “poem” its pretty obvious what the message is, so how were they tricked?

    This was done before, with a different message…

    Does KFC torture chickens, or does it torture us with its delicious blend of 12 herbs and spices?!?!

    If I were a chicken (which I am not) (because it would be hard to type with just a beak) I would be honored to be deep fat fried by the Colonal!

  4. Tastes Like Chicken says:

    Screw PETA, just a bunch of freakin’ morans anyway. KFC sounds good for lunch! Thanks for the idea.

  5. the answer says:

    Hey if the people at the cemetery don’t read what people put up, sucks to be them.

    Didn’t congressmen try using that excuse for letting the patriot act pass?

  6. Olo Baggins of Bywater says:

    When does PETA lose the right to use the word Ethical in their name? The other day I heard someone refer to them as lacking higher thinking skills. Sounds about right.

    Had I seen that tombstone I probably would have come back after dark and squeezed out a nice smelly loaf of fully-digested chicken, right on top.

  7. JimR says:

    Last year, DNA extracted from a Tyrannosaurus bone directly linked to the modern day chicken.

    Payback time.

  8. P&T Fan says:

    PETA is just a bunch assholes. Watch the Penn & Teller Bullshit episode about them. One of them uses a medicine that is created from animals. Fu**in losers!!!!

    Look how easy it is…

    People sometimes need to eat
    Even when they are feeling blue
    Today will soon come and gone
    As the world turns

    Suddenly they’re stomach growls
    Until yummy goodness is consumed
    Can you just taste it, oh so good?
    Keep it on the plate, don’t make a mess
    See, it really does taste like chicken.

  10. Cursor_ says:

    Let them pay for a million of these things.

    Then they will run out of money and end it all.

    I think the carcinogenic ingredients would have been a fair target for them. But seriously? Torturing chickens?

    …….
    ……
    wait for it………

    FUCK PETA!

  12. Phillep says:

    Men and women sometimes want to just have a good time without all the hassle of a long term relationship. Men look for dumb and gullible women, women act dumb and gullible to draw them.

    How better to look dumb and gullible than to pose naked for an outfit like PETA?

  13. AC says:

    Hey, all I want to know – is that just a peek of nipple showing on the pic?

  14. The Monster's Lawyer says:

    #13 – Your gullible if you think she posed with that sign in front of her.

  15. Ah_Yea says:

    You know what REALLY SCARES me about PETA? Someone is giving them a LOT of money to spread this weirdness. I would love one day to have a list of these kooks and find out why they think this is doing anyone any good.

    For an even better idea, how about the PETA people save some chickens and donate themselves to the food chain? (Chickens eating PETA members!)

  16. Ah_Yea says:

    Not to beat a dead chicken, but about PETA scaring me, how about this quote from the article, “Col. Sanders has a monument in Cave Hill Cemetery and he is an icon of cruelty,” said Rajt. “Certainly the nearly 1 billion chickens that are tortured and killed for KFC restaurants each year are more deserving than him.”

    These PETA crazies truly believe that chickens are worth more than people.

    I’m getting hungry, time for dinner….

    “Does KFC torture chickens, or does it torture us with its delicious blend of 12 herbs and spices?!?!”

    The Colonel used to, the conglomerate that own KFC on the other hand found out that if you BURN the peppercorns the right way you can emulate several of the spices.

  18. meetsy says:

    oh those tricky PETA spoiled brats and their goofy little jokes.
    PETA is not kind to humans.

  19. Daniel says:

    I love how PETA exploits women in the name of chickens.

  20. Rider says:

    When is PETA going to wake up and change tactics. We know our food is tortured we don’t care. These over the top tactics show that they are really just after PR to make $$$.

  21. Rick says:

    Hmm… time for some McNuggets!!

  23. Joshua says:

    The state of Virginia is considering naming the PETA animal shelter there as a *slaughter house* because they have euthenized all but 12 of the 3200 dogs given to them for care. When asked how killing the dogs instead of finding them homes, the PETA person said they were better off dead.

    These are some sick bastards. My group will not work with them, or allow them to use our facilities.

    I can’t help it if I like to eat chicks!
