Do Not Leave Jonathan Rhys Meyers Alone With Your Puppy. He Will Eat It.
Posted by Molly Friedman at 4:10 AM on May 24, 2008
Tudors star and full frontal nudity club member Jonathan Rhys Meyers seems to have followed that old dictum: when in China, do as the Chinese do. Even when it means eating a hearty meal of juicy dog meat. As Radha Mitchell, his co-star in The Children Of Huang Sui, bloopered to reporters:
Jonathan did the dog's meat. We were in some restaurant and there was dog meat on the menu and there was someone next to us just sitting there with their Chihuahua in a handbag. I was thinking, 'That could've been dessert.'
And naturally, PETA has taken the opportunity to sharpen their celebrity-hating claws once again.
Radha's comments were immediately jumped on by everyone's favourite group of anti-people, pro-animal activists. As one PETA spokesperson has said, "Chickens and cows may not be as cute and cuddly as puppies, but when it comes to their ability to feel pain and suffer, they are no different from animals people call pets." Though we actually find cows incredibly cute, if not cuddly, we still find it hard to stomach the image of our beloved Jonathan eating dog while seated next to a dog. Did the chihuahua use the go-to Puppy Eyes on him?

@Frecklepup: The previous comment is a perfect example of "sarcasm"...

He's cute and cuddly, but I wouldn't eat him. Oh, I'm sorry I was talking about Meyers, not the dog, excuse me! Seriously, he is a good actor, but mis-cast in Tudors, and notice that how few pets there are in the drafty castle scenes - dogs were very popular as ratters and hunters, so surprising! Or...maybe Jonathan ate them!

Friends of mine who've had dog meat say it's quite tasty although on the greasy side.
Here, Frecklepup, have a roast leg of dog. I bashed its skull in with a hammer and then kicked it first. Suffering makes it so delicious!

I'd boycott Johnathon's "work" because he's an inhumane jerk but I'm already not watching anything he's in because he's ugly and can't act.

@CourageousCoward: Amen. They're creepy little buggers.
Creepy little buggers who were originally bred as a meat animal. I'm not seeing the problem here. As a friend of mine said over a meal at the Rattlesnake Grill, "I LIKE the idea that someone is killing these things."

Yeah, well he's from Cork.Down there, they call it 'The People's Republic of Cork'' and they were one of the few provinces in Ireland to remind themselves during the Famine that IT'S AN ISLAND.SURROUNDED BY FISH.
Chihuahua, potatoes, cod, handbags.Whatever.We just call it 'lining'.If it's not over 6% A.B.V, it's just not worth it.

PETA should be eaten. Really, if animals could eat humans, they would not stop one second to think about it.
@Old No.7: It is call branding.

Are there really that many Jonathan Meyers in the world, that this asshat needs to include his middle name to stand out?

I'm thinking Top Chef: China, with a special Elimination Challenge featuring a reinvention of the classic Dauschund dish.

@kookla: Something about, I dunno, how he should be eating kitty instead?

Chihuahuas don't really have "go-to puppy eyes." It's more of a "three-pills-of-E-tripping-my-balls-off" bug-eye stare.

I'm sorry, I seem to have lost my ability to read after looking at that stunning photo. What were you babbling about, Defamer?
