No chicken for you!
I'd have to assume that this Al-Arabiya filler that equates chicken with global warming and then to terrorism is meant tongue-in-cheek. Otherwise, I'd say they're a little off on the sources of both global warming and terror:
MEMRI TV: Al-Arabiya TV Filler Links Global Warming to Terrorism
Man in restaurant: I'll have the grilled chicken, please.
Voiceover: The preferred food for millions of chickens around the world is green soy beans. It is mainly imported from Brazil by ships like this one, which release tons of carbon dioxide, causing the ice at the poles to melt, and the sea level to rise, and as a result, the water floods some of these beautiful islands, whose inhabitants flee to refugee camps, where some of them might undergo terrorist training, and from time to time demonstrate their "fine arts" to the world.
Suicide bomber detonates a cell phone bomb.
These ordinary people are then compelled to change their clothes into military uniforms, ready to fight one of the new wars of the world - a war that might jeopardize the world's energy supply, forcing the ships that carry green soy beans to cancel their journeys. Thus, it is impossible to ship soy to feed the world's chickens.
The outcome is:
Waiter: There is no chicken today.
LOL. The production values and dizzying spin are better than in Al Bore's flick.
Why do terror-supporters always connect terrorism to chickens?
We better stop feeding chickens with green soy beans from Brazil. Support your local producer!
