Thanks, I see him everywhere & couldn't work it out... For some reason I think I thought he was Jimmy Buffet but only because I liked the name.

He's The Most Interesting Man in the World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The precise settings are never revealed, but he performs feats such as: freeing an angry bear from a painful-looking bear trap; shooting a pool trick shot before an Indian audience (by shooting the cue ball out of the mouth of a man lying on the pool table); catching a marlin while cavorting in a Hemingway-esque scene with a beautiful, young woman; winning an arm-wrestling match in a South American setting; surfing the killer wave; and bench pressing two young East Asian women in a casino setting, each woman being seated in a chair. The voiceovers themselves are intended to be both humorous and outrageous ("if he were to punch you in the face, you would have to fight off the strong urge to thank him"; "he can speak French, in Russian"; "he once parallel-parked a train"; "his two cents is worth $37 and change"; "even his enemies list him as their emergency contact").
At the end of the advertisement, the interesting man, usually shown sitting in a night club or other social setting surrounded by several young women, says, "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis." Each commercial ends with him stating the signature sign-off: "Stay thirsty, my friends."[5]

Bringing up Gwar reminds me of the time I had sex this a guy who is, not was, but still is a HUGE fan of theirs. It was one of the best sex I ever had!
'nuff said.
Bringing this back to the original statement by Morrissey, he does sound especially idiotic when he tries to take the moral high ground and compare meat eaters to a guy who actually avoided meat (Hitler). I used to think the Hitler-as-vegetarian thing was apocryphal, but if you go to the wiki entry dedicated to this topic (Adolf Hitler and vegetarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) , it's pretty extensively documented. Even Hitler's food taster testified to this. Especially ironic was that Hitler apparently became a vegetarian during the height of his inhumanity to man.
I honestly don't see a hypocrisy issue with Hitler being a vegetarian. It's not his point that Hitler was a good guy simply by being a vegetarian. He's comparing the meat industry/slaughterhouses to death camps.

That Wiki says that some try to attribute Hitler's veggie ways to diet issues but that "he was often distressed by images of animal cruelty and suffering, as well as being an antivivisectionist." He purportedly even disliked makeup due to usage of animal products. Didn't he always have dogs? I do recall learning at one point that he was known as an animal lover.
I wonder if he was one of those people whose most comfortable and central relationships tend to be with animal companions, in part because they cannot get along with or even relate much to people at all. Ones I've known exhibited traits such as being over-the-top animal activists with a lot of rage towards human society, usually vegetarians or vegans, always had at least several pets, were often reclusive, aging, single (major issues w/relationships, mood problems, etc.), and at the worst end hoarders (or animal hoarders, ugh.) Hmmm. Interesting.

^^On the flip side - and fully acknowledging that Hitler was either insane or just really evil, regardless of his concern for animals -, there are many people out there who are completely non-compassionate toward animals, but very compassionate toward other humans. Personally, I think both extremes are bad and don't make for a balanced individual. But it seems to me people who openly don't give two shits about animals are much more accepted and not considered loons, whereas people haters are considered creeps and weirdos. And people who hate people (where's Streisand) often have a really good reason, such as being bullied, abused/mistreated by others, etc. They come to feel like animals are the only creatures who will never hurt them and they cut off contact with other humans as much as possible, which turns into a vicious circle of making it harder and harder to relate to others.
'I had to get rid of the kid. The cat was allergic.'
This could describe me (except for the hoarding - I'm almost fanatically the opposite ie minimalist to the extreme) and I'm only reclusive because I have no money to go out much. So I'm Hitler?with a lot of rage towards human society, usually vegetarians or vegans, always had at least several pets, were often reclusive, aging, single (major issues w/relationships, mood problems, etc.), and at the worst end hoarders (or animal hoarders, ugh.)
"You're going to die tomorrow, Lord Bolton. Sleep well."
Here is what Morrissey said, in part:
“If you believe in the abattoir then you would support Auschwitz,”
Now, the idiocy of the statement is that the master architect for Auschwitz was a guy who did NOT believe in the abattoir. Morrissey's statement, therefore, is like a fail of the highest order. I wouldn't call it hypocritical because Morrissey doesn't seem to know that much about the topic of Hitler and nazism in the first place.
No, I understand your point, I just disagree with it. It's possible for a person to not believe in the abattoir (like Hitler) but still support Auschwitz. Doesn't mean that if you don't believe in the abattoir, you necessarily don't support Auschwitz. It's more like Hitler who is the hypocrite, if anything. Syllogisms and all. Hitler himself is really a red herring, in my opinion. I think Morrissey has issues with obnoxious jackassery but I don't see him as being inconsistent or hypocritical.
ETA: did any of that make sense? Drunk. Just saying that reverence for life, in theory, cuts across all life forms, but lots of people make distinctions between people and animals for various reasons (some legit, some not).

My problem with his logic is still this:
The vast majority of the anti Axis Alliance at the time that were involved in World War II were meat eaters. They were horrified by Auschwitz and liberated its occupants. By Morrissey's logic, we would have seen Auschwitz, said, "Hey cool!" and then started franchises.
So you can't be a vegetaryan?![]()
