PETA’s Presidential Pet Peeve

PETA, the organization best known for convincing beautiful women to pose naked for their cause and for the civil practice of symbolically throwing blood red paint on people wearing fur, has taken up arms against a new oppressor of the Kingdom of Animalia: President Barack “Quick Draw” Obama.  The leader of the free world was caught on tape impressively using his lightning fast reflexes to end the life a common housefly whilst it buzzed around his being during an exclusive interview.  As a result of Commander-in-chief’s savage swattery, PETA has sent his Executive Highness a message in the form of a less vicious device for ridding pests from the President’s sphere of personal space, a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher.

PETA and the Pet Shop Boys

4/10/09 - Posted by Christopher Reinhard under Gossip

The world’s most obnoxious (albeit admirable) nonprofit organization is at it again: BBC reported Thursday that PETA, a frontrunner in silly and/or disturbing campaigns against the cruelty of animals, had asked iconic rock band Pet Shop Boys to change their name to reflect a more forward-thinking stance on the treatment of furry creatures. Not surprisingly, the Boys gracefully declined the concept, citing the fact that Rescue Shelter Boys is a pretty dumb name and after ten albums, it might be a little late to get people chanting that at concerts.

Original members Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe did suggest the idea was something “worth thinking about” and we couldn’t agree more; but next time, PETA, maybe reach out to an artist who isn’t already world-renowned.

    It’s kind of unfair: pro basketball players are typically ginormous, but they’re always hanging out with diminutive cheerleaders, models and actresses. While we fully support the concept of giving the spoils to the victors (did you see our sweet news coverage, by the way?), it’s nice to know that at least one monolithic baller is [...]
