An uninspired rip off of the old Dan Ackroyd "Bass-o-matic" skit on SNL some 25 ago.

Although the interactive part is a bit interesting.

I think the judge made such a wrong decision. Fish were blended into mush for no reason and it was deemed not cruel just because they died after a second or so.

So I guess it would be ok for me to hang a baby upside down in a blender and chop it's head to pieces and that wouldn't be cruel as long as it died instantly?

Perhaps if you equate goldfish to humans, or think goldfish are superior to humans.

Does it matter why the goldfish is killed - for entertainment, for sport, or for food?

Is it cruel if I pick the goldfish up and swallow it? How about if I smack it in the head, stick on a toothpick and cook it up in a skillet? What if I just stick it in a bowl of water and wait for it to die?

What if the artist had cockroaches in the blender instead of goldfish?

Nope, I consider anything that feels pain to be equal.

Yes it does matter. We are the top of the food chain, so it's natural for us to kill them and eat them. It's not natural to kill them for entertainment.

Yes because no doubt your stomach juices will burn it to death.

The judge would still be wrong - see answer one.

Hey if it were blenders full of kittens or puppies, I'd agree with you. Goldfish, I'm not going to lose any sleep over.

I'm not going to lose any sleep either, but the judge was wrong IMO, that's all =)
