Ignore the ad, the horse is not for eating

The block’s getting hot in Akron, Ohio, right now, at least for Kristen DeGroat and the horse she was trying to sell. The Saginaw News goofed up her classified ad, which ran under the header “Good Things to Eat” instead of the one for horses and stables. Responses, which were numerous, ranged from people asking her how she sleeps at night to people warning her about PETA to people—no joke—making offers on horse meat. The mind reels. Kristen and others were quite upset by the whole thing, which makes sense, until you take a step back—at which point you’ll realize that when our world syncs up with the one in David Lynch’s head, you just have to laugh.
