I love how he says he'd walk away from talking to someone who eats meat, but he's got no problem taking money from all those carnivores who turn up to his shows and yawn while he harangues them during 'Meat Is Murder'.

I imagine a DU Moz would be all over any porn threads haranguing the anti-porn types that they're ignoring and dismissing him and his much more important issue, and there'd be a massive flamewar that would cease immediately once DU Moz discovered they all ate meat and put them all on ignore...

btw, did you watch the clip with Henry Rollins having his say about him? While Rollins taste in music is crap, it was pretty funny...
