PETA asks town of Fishkill, NY to change name

[Redleg]

LOL, and before that it was Clubasealville.

PETA makes for some good jokes - they often make themselves look foolish.

PETA makes for some good jokes - they often make themselves look foolish.

And what's sad is that the idea behind them -- the notion that one should treat animals ethically -- is a sound one. Why do they have to be such eco-nazis about it? The notion that if you're going to kill it you ought to eat it isn't radical. The idea that one shouldn't pointlessly torture animals isn't far-out. But then they have to go ruining it by pursing a radical vegan anti-homo-sapiens agenda. Sigh.

Why do people engaged in what ought to be a reasonable cause have to behave like fruit loops? Why do extremists have to suck all the fun out of sensible issues?

Well, not all the fun. Like you said, they're plenty amusing to poke fun at.

PETA wouldn't understand

Instructions on how to clean your toilet

1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo
to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards
the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close
both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.

4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the
noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a “power-wash”
and “rinse.”

6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that
there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom,
and run outside where he will dry himself off.

9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.

I'm going to start an Organization called the "The Peoples Liberation of Leafy Greens, Fruit, and Vegetables Front", then we could take this protesting of inanimate, or unfeeling creatures on a whole new scale.

[PanzerJaeger]

This made me laugh almost as much as when the French canned the Rainbow Warrior.

Its as if Greenpeace and PETA are competing for the "Most Idiotic Environuts" award.

[Papewaio]

I think PETA are idiots and Greenpeace full of hyperbole.

This made me laugh almost as much as when the French canned the Rainbow Warrior.

I'm just wondering if you are referring to the French terrorist attack on the Rainbow Warrior as a funny incident, in which the French Government murdered a person in sinking the Rainbow Warrior?

[PanzerJaeger]

Yea, it was poetic justice in its funniest sense.

And the French didnt kill anyone. The hippy who died was safe and then went back to try and get his crap off the boat and couldnt swim.

Actually I heard somewhere that grass screams when you cut it... ....must be the noise of the mower that covers it, 'cos I never heard it.

First, I'm gonna stock up on salmon to last me a week, and I'll smoke it on my porch, with a big FU PETA sign written in sausages while I parade around the block wearing a brand new beaver coat. Then, I'll try to figure out why the people at PETA are such idiots when it comes to rational thought when I eat said salmon.

[Samurai Waki]

mmmm....smoked Sock-Eyed Salmon. I think I'll join you. I'll wearing my Baby Seal Fur Coat, Mink Hat, and Bottle-Nose Dolphin Skin Boots (wow. I dress like a pimp )

Pretty stupid to do this.

PETA does great work exposing labs who test (torture) monkeys and dogs, but their reputation certainly slides downhill with idiotic stunts like this.
