Jeff McInnis: “In a Past Life, Padma [Lakshmi] Was a Cow and She Just Sat in a Salt Lick the Whole Time, Just [Licking]”

















Wow, possums, just wow.

We don’t know where to start with Jeff’s statement (made in this video at the 5:40 mark): the Hindu thing (reincarnation, cow), the rather stinging if amusing notion of a bovine Padma, the connection between Padma and saltiness, or Jeff’s rather good impression of Padma as a cow or rather bad impression of a cunning linguist.

Well, as Jeff himself put it after his comment, “Jesus, I know that’s gonna burn me.”

Perhaps, but he seems only the latest in a long list of those speaking ill of Pads. Why, oh why, does no one seem to care for her? When did she became a not-so-sacred cow?
