Pity the poor cockroach. No, I don’t blame you, that approach didn’t work on me, either.  The animal rights group PETA has called for a theme park operator to cancel a competition to break the world cockroach-eating record.Six Flags Inc, based in New York, is staging the contest as part of a promotion leading up to Halloween in which it is also offering customers free entry or line-jumping advantages if they eat a live Madagascar hissing cockroach.You know, nobody likes cockroaches, and people who would eat live ones to get ahead in a theme park line don’t rank too high on the evolutionary scale, so this sounds like a marriage made in heaven.  Let us know what you think, via Post a Comment.
