Bat-guano crazy PETA strikes again

Seems about ever ytwo to three months PETA comes out with some new wird ass shit they expect us to do. A year or so ago it was then wanting women to brovide brest milk to Benny & Jerry's ice cream so they'll stop using cows, and there were also two other crazy things I can't recall at this moneht, from then to current.

And now today I learn their newest:

PETA wants Punxsutawney Phil replaced with a robot, to keep poor little ol' Phil from the torturous brief, one day a year task.

:wtf:
 
One of their "agents" pied the federal Fisheries Minister this past week up here in Canada. That led to a Newfoundland MP suggesting that PETA should be investigated as a terrorist organization under the Canadian Criminal Code.

...Canada's Criminal Code describes a terrorist organization as any group that disrupts lawful activities to commit an act for political, religious or ideological purposes and that causes the public to be intimidated.

I say it fits. :techman:
 
^^^ Yes, good job for reducing the definition of terrorism to the point where throwing pies can qualify (which was the M.O. of the notorious Spanish terror cell dubbed "Los Tres Chiflados" A.K.A. "The Three Stooges").

If you broaden the definition of terrorism to include nuisance groups like PETA and Sea Shepherd (which some were calling terrorists as well) you render the term completely meaningless. No one is terrified of PETA or thinks they'll kill anyone, or else they wouldn't be the butt of public ridicule every couple of months.

Speaking of which, when are people going to learn that you are doing PETA's job for them every time you start one of these topics saying "PETA's at it again" or "You won't believe what PETA did this time." Uh yeah, we will believe it, because it's the same shit PETA does every time. Make some outrageous request, demand, statement, or ad designed to get a lot of attention while doing little to actually help animals. They want to look ridiculous because being normal doesn't get publicity and doesn't get a million outraged or mocking people reposting the story to news sites, forums, or blogs.

So congratulations on being part of the PETA publicity machine by reposting the story and pointing out the completely obvious that they do crazy stuff every once in a while. No shit. You want to hurt them? Stop reposting the stories and giving them what they want. They're an organization that once had a decent purpose but are now reduced to being attention whoring trolls, and you keep feeding them.

God, I want to have a sex change so I can have your babies.
 
To borrow a phrase from Jack Nicholson:

"I tell ya, buddy, I'd be the luckiest man alive if that did it for me."
 
They should leave Punxsutawney Phil alone and go back to their original purpose: Convincing cute celebrity women to pose naked.
 
They do these things not because they think it's helpful for the cause they're working for, but because it gives them publicity; which people like you, tharpdevenport are happy to give them.
 
But it's all so diverting to see what PETA is up to next. The fact the average American pet lives better than the average developing nation's children notwithstanding . . .
