Traina Thoughts: PETA asks people why they eat bacon and it doesn't go well

Bacon lovers brought out all the memes when Peta asked a bad Twitter question.

The best of the Internet, plus musings by SI.com writer, Jimmy Traina.

1. Passing on an item related to sports at the top today because we have to start with something  the Internet loves more than almost anything: Bacon. For some reason, PETA thought it would be a good idea yesterday to ask people to present their best argument for eating bacon. Now, asking the most innocent, benign question on Twitter can often lead to a complete s---show. But when you question people on the World Wide Web about bacon, all hell is gonna break loose. And it did. If you need a few laughs today, click the tweet below and check the replies.

Present your best argument for eating bacon.

I'm going to go with the fact that bacon not only tastes great, but it smells like the heavens opening up to get you through the day. pic.twitter.com/SJaIaPpPq4

2. All those blowouts night after night during the NBA playoffs cost Vegas bigtime. What a shame.

NBA bettors beat up Nevada sports books in May. The books lost $4.4 million, the largest one-month loss in basketball in state history.
