People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is suing KFC Corp., claiming the fast-food giant is misleading the public by denying it mistreats hundreds of millions of chickens headed for its outlets each year.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court yesterday, claims more than 700 million chickens slaughtered each year for KFC chicken restaurants “often endure suffering, often intense, for most, or all, of their lives.”

The lawsuit is the culmination of a six-month campaign waged by PETA against KFC and its parent company, Yum! Brands Inc., to force the company to adopt standards designed to maintain and slaughter them more humanely.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
