Morrissey has courted controversy yet again after the vegetarian said the devastating Norway attacks were 'nothing compared to what happens in McDonald's and KFC every day'.
At least 76 people were killed last Friday when Anders Behring Breivik launched a bomb attack in Oslo before shooting dozens of teenagers on the island of Utoya.

The attacks sparked widespread outrage and condemnation around the world, but singer Morrissey has drawn criticism after comparing the attacks to the killing of animals by fast food chains at a gig in Warsaw on Sunday.

The Daily Mirror reports he told the crowd before singing Meat Is Murder: ‘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 S*** every day.’

The vegetarian is known for being outspoken on animal rights issues, once branding Chinese people a 'sub-species' because of their treatment of animals.

This latest outburst has proved similarly controversial, with fans taking to internet forums to voice their disapproval.

One wrote: ‘The killing of children compared to KFC & McDonald’s?!!! What an ass****!’

Another added: ‘I really don’t know if that is forgivable? Or of any use to the vegetarian cause?’

But Morrissey appears to stand by his comments, with a spokesman saying: ‘Morrissey has decided not to comment any further as he believes his statement speaks for itself.’

Who is this idiot exactly?

A nobody pop artist from the late 80's early 90's who's music wasn't any good back then so to stay relevant he had to go veghead and hate the peopl who love the animals that god created on this earth for us to eat.

But this is the UK, so he's still probably in the spotlight over there since they only have 5 bands and 3 actors in the country.

Morrissey is a moron, I saw him at a festival once and he came out after Snow Patrol or something and said "Sorry you've had to sit through all that shit before me, I'm here now"... Fuck off Morrissey

If your ultimate goal is more ethical treatment of animals, equating the value of animal lives with human lives is not going to accomplish your goal.

No he's not. At all.

Also we have some incredible Actors and a thriving music scene.

Wow. Morrissey is either the world's most epic troll or the worst kind of attention whore. Probably both. He's not a young guy either. Should definitely know better.

Clearly MMntech has never heard the old saying that there is no fool like an old fool.

Logically its makes sense, old fools are more experienced.
