Mommy, What Do Horses Taste Like?

Doug Barry — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:10:00 EST

Congress, in its ceaseless effort to offer creative palliatives to the soothe the country's economic afflictions, has decided that it's okay to send that pony you got for your tenth birthday and neglected because you were only prepared to brush its mane and feed it sugar cubes once a week to the slaughterhouse. Lawmakers sneakily lifted a five-year ban on funding for inspections of horse meat intended for human consumption as part of the spending bill President Obama signed on November 18 to keep the government chugging along until the 2012 apocalypse gets a little closer and Congress can more effectively implement its "end of the world" t-shirt selling campaign to fill its empty coffers.

When roses and red balloons just aren't...

When roses and red balloons just aren't personal enough, cut the birthday girl a slice of horse's ass. This equine cake is just one of the many bizarre and misguided confections on view at Cake Wrecks, an internet hall of shame for the world's worst professionally made cakes. Other lowlights include a woman giving birth, a pile of crap with flies on it, and, for those who like their shindigs both stomach-turning and offensive, a bound foot. [Cake Wrecks] More »

Horse Shit

Anna Holmes — Sat, 03 May 2008 18:30:00 EDT

Good God. Just moments after finishing 2nd at the Kentucky Derby a few minutes ago, a filly named Eight Belles (seen at far left, she was the only female horse in the 20-horse race) broke both of her front ankles while pulling up, collapsed on the track, and was euthanized on the spot. Did NBC make anything but a cursory mention? No. (Over on the NY Times' "Rail" blog, commenters are somewhat-gleefully discussing the "symbolism" of the race with regards to the Democratic presidential nomination; Hillary Clinton, you see, had her money on the fallen filly.) You really have to wonder about a "sport" in which thousands of majestic creatures are cruelly-bred, overtrained and raced to the point of mortal injury. And all for ego-inflation of a few wealthy owners, the amusement of millions, and, of course, the profiteering of both. [NY Times] More »
