For the second time in a year telecomm giant Telus is embroiled in a labor dispute. The cute animals featured in Telus' "the future is friendly" ad campaign have begun a massive hunger strike. Over 70 animals have given up on feed, pellets, krill, small rodents and end-table scraps all in the name of justice. Spark Parrot 1 explains:
"So they put down this cellphone and tell me they'll give me some more feed and a small worm if I walk on their cellphone. I thought they were testin it against bird crap or somethin. But I get a call from my cousin in Vancouver, who happened to be flyin by a TV shop, tells me he sees me on the TV. Says to me 'What the F@#$ is a parrot gonna do with a cellphone? You sellout!' "

Apparently all the animals have been duped one way or another into representing various Telus products and have been mercilessly criticized by their own species. Baby Pig 2 spoke at the Hunger rally:

"I know I speak for all pigs when I say, this stinks! Hoofs are good for stepping on rocks not surfing the internet! The good name of PIG has been dirtied by associating with the disgusting name of Telus and we want it stopped!"
- Baby Pig 2, Telus Broadband commercials
The animals all feel the their names are debased by being forced to associate with such a terrible company.
"My life is ruined. I get calls from bunnies everywhere, and they're so many more of them each day. They all tell me that I have ruined the name of bunny, that everyone will think bunnies are terrible at customer service and that we'll demand WAY too much, giving so little in return. Also, I am still taped to two other bunnies who people now think are my sisters, but I've never met them before."
- Left Bunny, Bunny triplets, Telus 'Digital Cable' commercials
Telus may not pull their 'future is friendly' commercials anytime soon but one thing is certain: if they don't they'll have a lot of cute animals on their hands... who are dead.

What about the beavers on the Bell ads? Are they going to strike in solidarity with the Telus guys? And how about the Fido crew? And all the animals who have to do pet food commercials? This is bigger than we know!
I think you're right Sandy. This could have a floodgate effect on abused animals the world over! Heck, I'd be pissed too, who wants to think of a cellphone when you see a Beaver? Well... hopefully everyone according to Bell.
This may solve only part of the problem, but it's a start. And it could be delicious!
Preheat broiler.
pick, draw and clean:
• Parrots
Split down the back and flatten them. You may cut out the backbone with shears. Brush well with:
• Melted butter
Place the birds 4 inches from heat. Broil 15 to 30 minutes. Season with:
• Salt and paprika
Serve on:
• Buttered toast
Pour the drippings over them. Garnish with:

Seeing these kind of posts reminds me of just how technology truly is everywhere in this day and age, and I am fairly confident when I say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further advances, the possibility of copying our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about all the time.
