Disquiet on the farms and in the fields..


Surrey, UK: Reporter Tub Thumper


Shockwaves are rippling across the countryside today as a campaign by the Cow Protection League is unleashed upon an unsuspecting public.

Glossy, full page adverts (seen above) have been placed in multiple publications aimed at an array of species - Cowsmopolitan (click on the picture to enlarge), Gerbil's Journal, Shrew Review - and even human publications such as AutoTrader. Oddly.

Spokesman for the cow pressure group, "Ribeye" Rusty Fetlock complains, "For too long cows have been oppressed, and it's time we took the lead. Our previous campaign - 'Eat less Cow' had a minimal impact on consumption, so we thought we'd re-brand it."

He continues; "Cows dream of more than grass and farting - we have hopes, dreams.. ..um.. ..indigestion.. ...and dreams. Our aim is to have a cow live long enough to do something useful, and win a Nobel prize."

First impressions would suggest that sheep groups (otherwise known as flocks) appear to be oblivious. Flossy, chewing quietly on some hay in a nearby field looked unimpressed. "Baa", she said, before urinating.

Dig a little deeper and it is apparent that this is a campaign unlikely to be free of controversy, and prominent media houses have already been approached by radical breakaway flocks seeking to redress the balance.

This could get ugly.


Good show.

Cowsmopolitan would like to point out that our publication features many udder adverts which ewe'll love. Cowsmopolitan's cover price of 500g of silage won't fleece you either!

We appear to be stuck in pun hell..

Cowsmopolitan retails at a not excessive £3.70, but it does contain a lot of cowvertising.

I don't think you'd be disappointed in it - if you were a cow.
