Hot Slut Of The Day!
Dexter, the emotional support peacock who was shut down by United Airlines!
If you ever find yourself becoming a Disney princess and you need to get yourself the mandatory animal sidekick/best fwend, choose a peacock. They look fabulous, are always ready for the club and if anyone fucks with you, they’ll rage peck them, their mom, their dad, their kid, their cousin, their auntie, etc… Peacocks are the Patti LuPone of birds. They are the kind of diva you don’t fuck with. And they may also turn on you for not complimenting their outfit properly. So because peacocks can be mean bitches, I’m not sure why someone would want them for an emotional support pet, but one woman does and United Airlines wasn’t having it.
A passenger, who has now been identified as a Brooklyn artist (that should explain everything) named Ventiko, tried to board a United flight from Newark to LAX on Sunday with her emotional support peacock Dexter. At first I thought that maybe Ventiko was doing a performance art piece commenting on the subject of ridiculous untrained emotional support pets, but she wasn’t. She bought a ticket for Dexter. She didn’t get to use that ticket, because United denied Dexter! They gave a statement to Fox News saying that Dexter’s human was told several times that he wasn’t welcome on their planes.
“This animal did not meet guidelines for a number of reasons, including its weight and size. We explained this to the customers on three separate occasions before they arrived at the airport.”
Dexter, who has his own Instagram page (that should explain everything too), and Ventiko had to settle for driving all the way from New Jersey to California.
When you add up all the details in this saga, it looks like nothing but a stunt, and I’m hoping it’s a stunt to promote Dexter being the secret houseguest on Celebrity Big Brother (although, he’s too famous and good for that shit). With that being said, I wouldn’t really mind sitting near a peacock on a flight. (I said “near,” not “next to.” I don’t need its feathers blocking my little TV screen when it decides to fluff up and show off.) Because if someone else on the flight talked too loud or acted a mess, I wouldn’t have to say anything. I would just have to ask the flight attendant for some popcorn and sit back as the peacock went after the trick.
