Palin and the Turkey Killer

Sarah Palin made headlines when she visited a local turkey farm to pardon a turkey. She read an official announcement from a letter in front of the camera. Then she chose the pardoned turkey herself and named it »Thanksgiving«.

What was a bit out of the ordinary was the location and style of the interview that Palin gave at the turkey farm, which included one of the ostensibly unpardoned turkeys being slaughtered behind her at the hands of an incredibly camera-conscious man who alternates between shoving the apparently live bird into some sort of grinder, and turning around toward the camera with, it seems, the same sense of bewilderment that those watching the video itself have.

WARNING: if watching an animal die while a former Vice Presidential candidate sips coffee and blithely chats about her plans for Thanksgiving is going to bother you, don’t watch this video.



In case you still did not get the picture, watch this.



It is really disturbing - but so is reality, right?
