Oprah Stirs the Pot With Free KFC Offer
Two days ago, Oprah offered her viewers a free coupon for KFC's new grilled chicken — complete with sides and biscuit.

PETA Wants to Make Tofu Flavored Like George Clooney
PETA is running out of viable ideas. In yet another absurd turn of events, the animal rights organization wants to harvest — get this — actor George Clooney's sweat to create a new flavor of tofu.

Animal rights activists PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has released a highly unsettling, undercover video that shows the mishandling of pigs on an Iowa farm. Among other things, in the clip — which I couldn't watch all the way through — workers hit female pigs with metal rods and slam piglets on a concrete floor.
