Mmm Mmm Good

Look, I loves me some George Clooney -- probably more so than the average gal. (The restraining order expires at the end of next month.) But there ain't no way I'd be chomping into some George Clooney-flavored ToFu. Just not happening.

Bosses at animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are sweating over a new idea to turn George Clooney's perspiration into a tofu flavor. PETA president Ingrid E. Newkirk has written to the movie star asking him for his permission to market CloFu. The wacky idea came about after Newkirk was offered a vial of handsome George's sweat, apparently taken from a gym towel he used during a recent trip to Washington, D.C....In her letter to Clooney, the president writes, "The technology actually exists to take your perspiration and make it into George Clooney-flavored tofu. We could do that and give the tofu away. "Of course, your fans would swoon at the idea of eating CloFu...And taste expert Dr. Harry Lawless of Cornell University insists the idea is not as far-fetched as it sounds: "It is no different than making artificial chicken flavor for instant gravy."...But Clooney's initial response isn't all that encouraging. In a statement through his representative, the movie star says, "As a mammal, I'm offended." [sfgate]

Delightful...
