The cows are plotting something. They're meeting in secret COWncils. They're even keeping blogs. I'm not sure what it's all about, but it seems that 05.05.05 is the date when the cows will show their hand (or hoof, as it may be). (via Metafilter)

Certainly did, very funny. Cows at the gym - a win win situation for all involved...Funny to look at and they will make for a tastier leaner steak in the end.
Anyone ever see Trigger Happy T.V.? Reminded me of that a bit.

The galleryID8 theory seems to pan out. I registered as user "CowbearSloth". The two other registered users are "Moo" and "galleryID8". Case closed.

Harry has a point, there are other spanish launguage references, as in "Muchas Gracias" in the hang man game. I vote for a "El Pollo Loco" ad campain.

So, we hoof to cownt down to 5/05/05, beefore we know the poop? Got a month to milk the program. They need to hire Larry Tate, pitchman extraordinaire, to help the promo. They never have good guys like Larry on their team- they dearly lack Tate. He's a moover and a shaker. Teat's all, folks

I'm not sure of the purpose of your post, however if you need to have the Cows incorporate a business, they can visit http://www.inc123.com or http://www.businesspronet.com Only if they are planning on slicing each other up for BK or McD's

This is a clever and well done website, whatever it is. Rest assured, the people behind this spent a lot of money putting this together, and the designer in charge of the site certainly knew what he was doing. It's obviously some sort of marketing campaign, otherwise it wouldn't make sense why one would invest as much capital in it as this site does.

It's cute.

they're finally getting revenge on all you cruel f*cks who allow them to suffer horribly just so you can enjoy a hamburger

ALLOW them to suffer?

Damn.

I thought I was doing it on purpose.

And why bother putting asterisks in words like that, rj? Everyone knows what the word is anyway. I think it makes someone look rather silly when they do that. Either type it out, or use a different, and complete, word. Are you trying to show us that you're above swearing or something?

And, for the record, I enjoy a lot more than just burgers.

Like ribs, various steaks, roasts, sausages, and even the occasional hot dog.

Has anyone ever noticed that PETA, with all of their rambling about killing animals for food, doesn't bother to mention by-products that they still ennjoy, like Jello, and glue?

hmmm

The amusing part of the Chick-fil-A campaign is the fact that they call their products "100% Cow Free - Bovine Seal of Approval" despite the fact that many of their products contain cow milk (brownies, cheesecake, etc).

So it's okay to milk them, just don't kill them, uh?

All I know is the cows were at my work (on the UM campus) yesterday and they handed out small smushy cows with the web addy on them. They played Dance Dance Revolution. It was all very amusing. But when asked, all they said was "moo".

Couldn't be the Chick-fil-A cows. They're a bunch of liars and traitors. They have steak breakfast burritos...

Just found you guys. This may strike you as humorous.

I'm a bouncer in Annapolis, MD, and Friday night, the cows tried to come into the pub I work. Damn things didn't have ID and would only say "Mu" when I tried to card them. Maybe cows speak Mandarin. I could tell that both of them were girls, probably early 20s, inside those costumes. They walked in and tried to hand out business cards before they left real quickly. Not many people were interested in cows interfering with their drinking.

Oh, and they were handing out cowbells as they walked down the street, which meant I had to deal with drunken frat boys all night yelling, "This bar needs more cowbell!" and then ringing the damn things.

The obvious question being...

What did the business cards advertise?

Aand also, did you happen to keep one?

I'm a cow I'm curious
Watch me now I'm furious
I'm a cow I'm full of hate
Watch me now I'm on your plate......

I love the barenaked ladies
