PETA Phishes for Phonics
PETA has decided to fight "speciesism" by trying to modify our language to exclude casual references to animals. Mock them if you will, but maybe they just didn't go far enough? Think of all the harmful things that can affect our health and well being. Obesity is a major cause of heart failure. What if we further modified our language to eliminate some of those references to foods that are harmful to us?
Instead of "That's the way the cookie crumbles", we go with "That's the way your 401K crumbles."
Instead of bemoaning the loss of a cookie, we mourn for a real loss of our retirement nest eggs.
How about instead of "You can't have your cake and eat it too", we substitute "You can't have your significant other and your paramour, too"
"Like taking candy from a baby" becomes "Like taking carbon credits from a gross polluter."
"Easy as pie" becomes "Easy as rewriting aphorisms to accommodate current nonsensical kooky fads."
Hmm. Cookies...cakes...candy...pies?
I'll finish this later. Right now I have a case of the munchies you just can't believe!

Because the world needs more naked, nearly naked and vegetable clad vegetarians!

PETA is Trolling for Attention
In fact, it's such a slow news day, you're probably not even reading this. But, despite the smell of desperation, I ran across the following story:
The name of a bar is offensive to chickens? Gosh. I would think that a sign that promised a "chicken wing happy hour" would be more disturbing! And, as "intelligent and sensitive" as chickens are, I don't think I've ever seen one take offense to any signs...or for that matter, any Foster Farms wrappers I might have left in the trash!
PETA Demands Bar Change Its Name Because ‘Ye Olde Fighting Cocks’ Is Offensive to Chickens
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to the oldest bar in Britain on Monday demanding that it change its historic name because “Ye Olde Fighting Cocks” is offensive to chickens. PETA director Mimi Bekhechi said the name should be changed to “Ye Olde Clever Cocks” because that would “celebrate chickens as the intelligent, sensitive and social animals they are,” according to an article in the Mirror. The pub is Britain’s oldest, according to Guinness World Records, and has had the name since 1872.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Sex in Advertising
For all you connoisseurs of advertising...

I may not be exactly sure what she's selling, but, I'm pretty sure I'm in the market!
Although, that reminds me...I need to buy some paint!

Women of PETA XL
To the delight of some and the chagrin of others, we continue with yet one more tribute to those lovely lasses who would bare their assets to further the cause of PETA.
Because the world needs more naked, nearly naked and vegetable clad vegetarians!






Editor's Note: When I first started out to post "Women of PETA", it was not designed as a series. I figured I could find a half a dozen decent pictures of semi-naked celebrities online and that would be that. Next topic.
Multiply that half a dozen by 40 and that's how far it's brought us today.

Because the world needs more naked, nearly naked and vegetable clad vegetarians!





And for those of you expecting cheerleaders:
