Default London Grill Just Can't Win

I hesitated in posting this for fear of helping "Hugs for Puppies" in their apparent campaign against London Grill (first it was the foie gras, now this). Did anyone else receive the flyer in their door/mail slot about "London Grill Pollutes"?

It went on to talk about how London Grill buys from some company with lots of violations, etc. The website they promote:

http://www.londongrillpollutes.com

redirects to a hugsforpuppies.org address.

What is their problem (hugs for puppies)? Did one of their members get fired from London Grill, or something?

In reality, I do appreciate their apparent intent, and would be curious to hear the response from one of the London Grill employees that occasionally posts here.

I got it too on Friday I think. I just laughed when I read it. Made we want to go eat there this past weekend.

I think London may be getting more business by all this free advertising.

Don't worry, it's not just London Grill. HFP has similar sites set up for every restaurant in town that they have a beef (he he) with. For instance, I just pulled these ones up at random:

http://www.lebecfinpollutes.com
http://www.tintopollutes.com
http://www.matysonpollutes.com
etc, etc, etc.

This is the same old foie gras BS in new packaging. First they tried to run guilt trips on people because of the allegedly "cruel" way that foie gras is produced. That didn't work so good and now they are saying that the foie gras producers are polluters in stead. Yawn. Nothing to see here.

Silliness. Animals are food.

I'd suggest putting a few of these huggies or whatever on the polar ice to witness how a polar bear would eat one (or more) of them. We are just food too.

Yes, because they overstate their case, and are engaging in a type of masturbation.

I am starting to wonder it HFP I'd corporate sponsored, you know.. It would be 'delicious' to find out that Trader Joes is really behind it all, etc.

There has to be some motivation keeping these people as the laughing stock of philadelphia
