>Disclaimer: I'm vegan.

Why'd you feel the need to disclaim that?

>I think this is awesome. "Vandalize" is a bit much as they just substitute sliced pig flesh photos with a plant-based lookalike.

It's exactly what vandalism is. They defaced some else's property; for advertising no less.

Part of being vegan seems to be a compulsive need to tell everyone that you are vegan.

Fair enough, yet if we could only motivate that same disapproval when someone has their own body vandalized, as in having it sliced into pieces and photographed, then our ethical compass would be more in balance.
