                              PRESS RELEASE 
                                 March 6th 1998 
                               SUCCESS! 

 Uri Geller channels veggie mind power to stop offensive poster campaign 

Uri Geller today succeeded in disabling a mechanical counter, used as part
of a Dansih Bacon campaign,  using the power of his mind. Uri Geller was
helped by vegetarians from the Vegetarian Society and elsewhere who
channelled their thoughts to help Uri Geller increase his powers.

The animated poster on Cromwell Road, London SW5 is part of a 2 million
pound campaign, organised by the Danish Bacon and Meat Council. The poster
showing a picture of rashers being grilled, features a counter depicting
the effect of the poster on passing traffic. The number of vegetarians,
featured on the counter, slowly falls as the poster supposedly 'converts'
them back to meat.

"I can take a joke like any other vegetarian" said Uri Geller "but I found
this campaign deeply offensive. The Vegetarian Society and I decided that
the only legal option was to use my brain power to stop the counter
mechanism and that is just what I did. I don't know exactly what happened
whether the mechanism exploded or was bent or twisted but it stopped. I had
witnesses with me, who took photographic and film evidence. Meat-free mind
power really does work!"

The Vegetarian Society is delighted at the news that Uri Geller has
succeeded in helping end this offensive campaign.

"It is obvious that vegetarians not only have great taste when it comes to
food but they also have amazing will power. The meat industry's gimmicks
have no chance with such veggie power." said Stve Connor, Head of Public
Affairs for the Vegetarian Society.

The Vegetarian Society believes that the targeting of vegetarians for bacon
promotion, reveals just how desperate the meat industry is for customers.
Most pigs in the UK are intensively reared and confined throughout their
lives. 300,000 pigs are killed each week in the UK for food.
