Kanahakkliha: Awful Estonian Meat Commercial

I once worked in a chicken slaughterhouse. That was a memorable experience. If anything else, it made me enjoy the taste of chicken more because if there is any animal that deserves to die, it's the chicken. Those damn birds the smelliest, most obnoxious bird ever invented.

Funny enough, experiences like mine often turn people into vegans. It did the opposite to me. However, after viewing this Estonian meat commercial, my stomach turned. It made me want to forsake the cause of meat altogether. In short, they've been done what PETA has been trying to do to me for years: hate meat.

I don't know what's scariest. The off-colour meat looks rank. The background music is eerie. As well, it looks like the women chowing down on the meat are enjoying it a little too much.

I think what ultimate sells me on the "meat is evil" argument is the voiceover repeating again and again "KANA! KANA! KANA! HAKKLIHA!" I don't speak Estonian, but I have a feeling it means, "Our meat has been to places no man should attempt to see. Please ingest wisely."

Oh well. I'm having steak tomorrow.

'Kana kana kana hakkliha' means 'chicken chicken chicken minced meat'

this commercial looks and sounds like acid trip gone bad. :D

these days they sell it again with great success, and actually it tastes great.

but indeed, this commercial is a major turnoff.
