The personification of cows

I believe that I read a lot of things with an open mind. If I read a lede and I disagree with it, I do give the rest of the article the chance to change my mind. But some articles, with one sentence, make it impossible for me to take the rest of the article seriously. Here is an example of a sentence which can shut me down on an entire piece:
“Cows look calm, but really they are gay nymphomaniacs,” he said.
The best part is, I didn't make that sentence up. In Sunday Times of London, there is an article claiming that animals are just as complex as humans. The above sentence appeared halfway through the article. I giggled, then I ate a hamburger.
