Mic Takeover Weekend

Written by PETA

The tweets were flying this weekend after a certain musician took over the mic as Taylor Swift happily accepted her first Moonman. (Stay classy, Kanye.)

Little did those angry tweeters know that Kanye was not the only mic takeover artist this weekend. As McDonald's CEO was stepping up to receive an award (no, not a VMA—they don't give out Moonmen for cruelty), a protester beat him to the podium and blasted him for McDonald's suppliers' inhumane slaughter practices.

"Shame on you, Jim Skinner," indeed!

Anyone else notice how at the very end he just continues with his speech as if nothing had happened? Truly a sick individual.

No one is going to care about the chickens in fact they feel the exact opposite about it. Why would they? PETA at a McDonald's convention produces the same results as McDonald's at a PETA convention. It seems logical to me.

Good for the protester and great comment emma "Why would a McDonalds CEO be getting an award for anyway? clogging the most arteries?" Honestly in a healthy society Skinner would be identified as a true sociopath!

people are so stupid. man will sit there and listen to how much money this man can make and how HE is killing our children and all is fine in the big money. but man does not want to hear how big money is hurting and killing our animals we love. we show kids little books and videos or cute little farm animals are but nothing is ever showen on how these animals are killed and suffering so we can eat. kids need to know the mc killers are so bad for you.all of this needs to stop. i live in montana and there is so much hunting and killing here and it makes me sick. i moved here for the wildlife and i will do what ever it takes to help all of the animals here. anyone think of anything to help me so i can help the animals. down with killing and the mc killers. good job girl. keep it up and people are still stupid.
