PETA SEXIEST VEGETARIAN 2009

I interrupt my holiday, here in Devon, for a party political broadcast on behalf of Gareth Campesinos! (myself). I’m sat in a Cafe Nero in Torquay paying stupid money for internet. I’ve had one and a half coffees, which has had a similar effect on me as about 5 pints of lager. I hate coffee. AND EVERYTHING IT STANDS FOR!! But these are the sacrifices we make in order to log into our email, only to see we’ve had NOTHING ALL WEEKEND.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is, inexplicably, I have been nominated for PETA’S Sexiest Vegetarian (FYI: second year running <cool smiley>). The judges have been kind to me in that they haven’t included ‘sexiness’ as one of the criteria for being nominated, rather, just the fact that they are aware of my dietary choices. Seriously, look, it’s EVERY VEGE IN A BAND, EVER. Hopefully when someone from some emo band wins, knowing that I was also in the list will take the gloss of their victory just a little.

But, this is totally the sort of field I’m looking for recognition in. Personally, given up on musical success, but I can hold off on eating animals for as long as necessary.

Reasons you might consider voting for me:

  • Vegan. Therefore moral high ground ;)
  • With your help, we can totally redefine the definition of “sexy” to mean “paunchy and jug eared”.
  • It’d be well subversive.
  • If you are a carnivore, then me being “sexiest vegetarian” would be a great advert for eating meat.
  • Would Mike D’Antonio of Killswitch Engage post this on his blog?:

Proof if proof be needs be.

VOTE

Thanks guys, really appreciate it.

Or vote for David/Calum off of Dananananaykroyd. Probs makes more sense.

I’m back off holiday on Friday, and have got some well good stories to tell you. One about crazy golf, and another about watching the Championship Play Off Final. HOLD ON TO YR HATS!!

Admittedly I already voted for you but if I hadn’t that picture totally would have swung it for me.

This week I officially made the switch to become a vegitarian. Any tips?

Now THAT’S the way to campaign! Calum and David would do well by taking a leaf out of your book.

Dropped you a well deserved vote, along with Kristen Bell as my choice for your non-meateating prom queen.

I hope you’re not offended if I decide to sleep with Peter Petrelli before you though. If forced to choose at gunpoint of course!

Crap.
Voted David from dananananananana etc before noticing
P.S. Katie from iFR! has my vote yet again. Her beauty can never be portrayed via PETA award ceremonies

nice feature on p4k. although… are those real birds of prey? god damn.

Pooley – I’m going to assume he means it could be the last record in the way Gareth always does the demure “we’re going to make the most of our time and shred it the eff up because who knows how long they’ll keep letting us do this” thing (paraphrasing!).

Then again, I could see Ellen and Gareth getting into a fight about objectification of women in the WWE and that ending up splitting the band. So who knows.

That match was a fucking tragedy about after 10 minutes in, Xavi and Iniesta were just dominating the mid-field the entire time, they needed Fletcher bad in there. Was pretty frustrating to watch

i love how basically everyone has a last name on that list except Gareth :’)

If you are a carnivore, then me being “sexiest vegetarian” would be a great advert for eating meat.

you win this round.
