Eat A Roach and Go to the Front of the Line

This is wrong on so many levels:
Six Flags has an interesting proposition for roller-coaster lovers who don't like waiting in long lines.

The Gurnee amusement park is offering a line-skipping pass to people who eat a live Madagascar hissing cockroach. It's all part of a promotion for Great America's annual Fright-Fest, which starts October 7th.

Each roach-eater will get a pass to let themselves and three friends skip to the front of the line for any ride.

Great America spokesman James Taylor says the roaches are considered safe to eat, but everyone will be required to sign a waiver before tossing one back.

Adult Madagascar hissing cockroaches are two-and-a-half to three inches long.

So where are the animal rights wackos on this one? You mean you can't club a baby seal, but you can eat a live roach? Hmmmmm.....
