PETA One-Ups Burger King, Releases Gore-Scented Body Spray
After last week’s flame-broiled blatant marketing ploy by Burger King, PETA has come up with their own: a meat-scented perfume that smells like rotting flesh. PETA clearly saw the success of Burger King’s campaign and wanted in on the action.

“Most cows killed for fast-food burgers are castrated and branded without any painkillers, fed a diet of hormones and antibiotics, and often transported to slaughter without food or water in all weather extremes,” reads the PETA press release. “At slaughterhouses, they are strung up by one hind leg before their throats are cut and their skin is pulled from their bodies–sometimes while they are still conscious.”
If the package doesn’t turn your stomach, the scent might do the trick. PETA suggests the spray as a holiday gift, but considering that Christmas is only a few days away, don’t expect to wake up to the smell of flesh under the tree.
The meat and dairy industries is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation industry worldwide. Let’s hope the aeresol spray can doesn’t contain CFL’s!

Thanks for the blog! We assure you that the fragrance will be purely artificial (though entirely realistic) and that the maggot inside won’t be real. Hopefully Burger King rethinks their disgusting fragrance when they see ours!
your ignorance is showing–
You say, “Let’s hope the aeresol [sic] spray can doesn’t contain CFL’s!”
You are confusing your eco-terminology: CFLs (Compact fluorescent lamps or lights) with CFC (chlorofluorocarbons).
Who wants to smell like Al Gore?
Will the maggot die in the bottle?
I know it’s wrong, because I can hear them bleating…..but meat is soooooo good.
I want a steak.
how do they castrate COWS ??
I think I’ll get a hamburger for lunch today.
Wow.
I was going skip lunch today but after I saw this I’ll definitely make sure to take subway all the way down to Herald Square just to have BK’s *NEW* ‘Shroom ‘n’ Swiss…KING SIZED mind you.
I LOOOOVVEE having it my way.
I’ll probably get a few Whopper Jr.s after tonights Ranger game while I’m down there too.
See ya there.
They are cows, we are predators, who the hell cares. Quit whining about your intimacy issues and find something that’s actually important to care about. Because no matter how much you try to save the animals, they’re never REALLY gonna love you back.
