PETA Strikes Again

Posted on February 15, 2006 11:51 PM by Joel Comm

I recently received an email from a reader lamenting how I have strayed from my political rants. Believe me, it's not for lack of material. Between the mainstream media's pathetic obsession with VP Dick Cheney accidently shooting a friend while hunting (don't get me started) and the never-ceasing parade of Democrat leadership attempting to undermine America, I could blog for hours on end.

I have just become fed up with the lunacy and have focused my efforts on other things. However, by popular demand... Let's have a good laugh at the expense of PETA, shall we?

For those living in a cave, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is a radical terrorist group who is so opposed to the wearing of fur and the consumption of Bambi that they choose methods of force and coercion to spread their message. Unsatisfied with the benefits of freedom of speech, and freedom to eat as many veggieburgers and as much tofu as a human being can stand, they surface again and again in random acts of desecration designed to force people to change their behavior.

This time, the victims were Paris Hilton and designer Julien Macdonald. After attending a London fashion show displaying the latest in fur apparel, the PETA gang sprinkled Macdonald and Hilton with flour while posing for photographs. Hilton was barely touched, but Macdonald was covered with the white stuff. Paris actually got a good laugh out of the incident.

PETA believes that this statement will somehow deter Macdonald from using fur in future fashion designs. Riiiight.

    Joel - If people weren't supposed to eat animals, why did God make them out of meat?

    Joel,
    I find people who value animals more than people more than a little spooky...kind of, well, religious fanatics (of ANY flavor)- terrorists of the terrier set. Great pages, as well as your mom's 'travels with Sheila' blog- clean pages with neat layout and features.
    A 'mechanical' type question about Adlinks and adsense though- how do they coexist on the same page without the wrath of Google? Thought I read somewhere that Google won't share a page with other PPC ads??

    Joel,
    Someone should skin you alive and then you can write to all your disturbed fans about how it feels. It disgusts me to have to even acknowledge that you're of the Human race!

    PETA Rules!
    End of story...
