PETA Gives Gift Of Christmas Meme With Ill-Received 'Breakfast Noises' Video

For the Christmas holiday, PETA's contribution to the season was a video ostensibly intended to shock viewers into thinking about the live animals that have contributed to a standard bacon and eggs breakfast. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it did not go well for them.

Posted the morning of Christmas Eve, PETA's video asks viewers to imagine the pained sounds of chickens, pigs and cows as they are being "cooked" to make a bacon, eggs and milk breakfast. However, like many of PETA's attempts to shock viewers into vegetarianism before, the video was widely mocked on social media.

Several opined that instead of making a shocking video, PETA had, perhaps unintentionally, made something hilarious.

Others contributed with their own memes based on the premise, imagining some of the other noises common foods would make.

As with several attempts PETA has previously made to make their message go viral, their "animal noises" video has seemed to win over very few and made the organization a target of mockery. However, in terms of eyeballs viewing their content, it's hard to view the video as anything less than a smashing success for PETA. The video has been retweeted over 18,000 times in the past three days, not including quote-tweets.
