Morrissey: 'McDonald's, KFC worse than Norway massacre'

The ex-Smiths frontman compared the behaviour of McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken to that of Anders Behring Breivik, who killed at least 76 people in two terrorist attacks at the weekend, The Mirror reports.

Before playing 'Meat Is Murder' at the Stodola Club in Warsaw, Poland, Morrissey said: "We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 dead.

"Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald's and Kentucky Fried <removed> every day."

As always, NewsThump has a good take on it:

"Your leather sofa is worse than the holocaust, insists Morrissey"

The former Smiths frontman, on a visit to his hometown, accosted shoppers at DFS’s Wythenshawe branch as they browsed the latest furniture designs during their lunch hour.

The singer has called on people with television sets not to be taken in by adverts featuring smiling families cuddled up on a huge leather settees, and likened the featured actors to members of the Gestapo.

“In my eyes they are no better,” he told us, “Sure, they’re only doing what they’re told by the director, but is that really an excuse?”

“Oh – and check out the blonde woman. Enough said.”
Morrissey outrage

Morrissey has since been barred from the store after telling a six year-old girl that she was sitting on a dead animal and “how would she like it if someone came round to her house and turned Daddy into an L-shaped leather recliner with a moustache”.
