Martha Stewart Pepper Sprays Her Turkey (VIDEO)

No one doubts that Martha Stewart can cook a turkey. She's a go-to source for quality Thanksgiving recipes -- it's obvious that the Today Show would have her as a guest this time of year. But that doesn't mean she can't have a little fun as the Thanksgiving queen bee. In the clip below, Martha explains that her newest idea for cooking a turkey was inspired by recent events at UC Davis. Nothing like the taste of a little pepper spray to go with that tender dark meat.

That was a Leno bit. He altered the video

Martha did not do that as I saw the original on the today show.

Now apologize for jumping to erroneous conclusions :)

K, so this thread is stale, but I wish to repost my original, timely comment re: Stewart's truly crass attempt at humor, based on the suffering of others.
Why on earth would my comment have been censored? Is Stewart an advertiser on HP? Or are HP monitors so biased that no criticism is allowed?
HP moderators stink at times.
Censor this.
Thank you.

Your comment was probably removed because you're a moron. Stewart had nothing to do with this Jay Leno "bit". It's a fake Martha that was digitally inserted by the Tonight Show in their lame attempt at a joke. Direct your anger where it's appropriate.

"re: Stewart's truly crass attempt at humor, based on the suffering of others." Um, that would be Jay Leno's truly crass attempt at humor. How did you miss the fact that there's a Martha stand-in digitally added (with diffferent clothes, even) and that Martha had nothing to do with this unfunny bit?

Your self-righteous indignation is misplaced. Your comment was neither original nor timely; it was just flat-out clueless.

It's easy to see Martha is one of the 1%, completely unaware of what the entire protest is about.
I imagine she threw the bones to the protesters to ease her conscience. Or does she have one?

Way to go Beatrice. Another quick reaction by someone that isn't even aware of what they're watching. Martha had nothing to do with this stupid joke; it's entirely conceived by Jay Leno's lame writers and it's an obvious Martha stand-in that pepper-sprays the turkey. How are so many people fooled by this? Have we become that stupid that we don't even bother to look anymore at what we're talking about?

By the way, Jay totally stole this bit from Conan. His show started inserting people digitally into clips about a decade ago. Except when he did it, it was usually funny.

and she probably used "au courants" for the dressing.

The real question is, when will the HuffingtOn Post acknowledge their mistake and apologize for calling Martha the originator of this joke, when it was actually Jay Leno inserting a fake Martha?

I grow a mean extra hot habanero pepper. Would you like me to test it in your eyes?

I think we should all enjoy the joke, and go along with it, and express our thoughts as if Martha had actually done it!

[craigtollting]

Yeah, especially since whoever wrote this for HuffPost now realizes their mistake and feels stupid. Not stupid enough to print a correction, apparently. I guess that's to be expected when you pay your "writers" nothing.

Usually Martha is tacky. At least this is cool.

[craigtollting]

And also, it wasn't even her, but a stand-in from Jay Leno's staff that was digitally inserted, and it apparently fooled the geniuses at Huff Post. And you.

What's funny is those of you who really thing it's disgusting because you believe Martha did it. I wonder how disgusted you WOULDN'T be if you noticed it was digitally enhanced to make it look like Martha from Leno's team....Ahhh the human mind.

Everyone who thinks she's being insensitive to the protestors at UC Davis is merely ignorant of the full situation. Her actions were a response to Fox Reporter Megyn Kelly stating that pepper spray is "just a food product, essentially." Look it up. It's just a comment on Megyn's idiocy.

Also it's not even Martha doing it. Watch it again; this is Leno's idea of a funny bit as they digitally insert a fake Martha and the pepper spray. Easy to be fooled as Huff Post missed it too.

Thank you for bringing some clarity... Happy Thanksgiving.

Ok folks, don't do this at home. Police issue pepper spray is not food grade. It may have petrochemicals as the vehicle or the propellant. Not something you want to eat.

This isn't real....they digitally put in a fake Martha during the cut. Watch it again.
