FarmVille Baby Turkey Better Not Produce Tofurkeys!
It is a fact that no virtual animals have ever been harmed on any FarmVille farms. That is a little idealistic, but understandable to some degree. Cows are sacred in India, pork is forbidden from both Jewish and Islamic diets. There are nearly 8 million vegetarians in the US alone.
Perhaps FarmVille is a glimpse at a better world where animals and people live in harmony. A world where kittens bring you yarn, ugly ducklings become swans, and pigs collect truffles in return for their slops. Instead of slaughtering livestock, FarmVille has made cutesy and harmless ways to harvest animals and keep the game cute and inoffensive.
Bumble finds this political correctness offensive!
Is there an evil PETA lobby pressuring the FarmVille folks? Are all the FarmVille employees vegetarians? Is it just too hard to make a cute graphic of a slaughterhouse?
Bumble has 6 pigs and not a single bacon bit! There are however truffles aplenty. That’s fine since Bumble can’t eat pork anyway. But Bumble has to draw the line at Thanksgiving dinner.
This morning Zynga released some great new seasonal decorations for FarmVille. Fellow FarmVille addicts can now spiffy up the farm with hay rolls, haystacks, leaves, maple trees and… baby turkeys!
Bumble bought his first baby turkey today. This evening the little fellow is 17% ready. We won’t know what it is preparing to do for a few more days. Bumble has a bad feeling that the little guy will not be producing Stove Stop stuffing to harvest.
Given the current innocuous nature of FarmVille animals, Bumble suspects the baby turkey will soon be producing Tofurkeys! Death to Tofurkeys!
Bumble has other plans for his baby turkey…
There is no triptophan in tofu..
Sorry baby turkey, but there will be no presidential pardon for you come Thanksgiving.
Let us strike down the Tofurkeys! Hail Caesar! umm…
need a farmville friend for expanding your farm? i need a few myself, add me if you do gearycarson@hotmail.com
Just a quick update. The Baby Turkey was actually transformed into an adult Turkey. It is now working on something else. Bumble will keep you posted on what it produces.
Bah, turkey feathers… again FarmVille caves to political correctness!
Wow , it’s Thanksgiving Day! I’m happy with my extra day off, and I am planning to doing something fun that’ll probably involve a moto trip and seeing something new in Fort Walton Beach I haven’t seen yet.
You write something new at Thanksgiving?
