PETA wants Pet Shop Boys to change band name

[StormKnight (1)]

While I am not as passionate, Slaugh, I do believe the group is full of hypocrisy. Do a YouTube search on Penn and Teller's Bullshit and PETA. I found it, despite the comical hosts, very interesting. Even the VP of the group relies on insulin to live (usually derived from pig intestine, only recently been done with recombinant DNA.)

F!ck PETA along with all you other animal rights activists! im so sick of hearing it, go live in the woods and eat pine cones if you love animale so much, I swear to god its sickening how stupid these people are. People who care more about the lives of animals over humans should be executed.

*goes and cooks a pound of bacon*

Errrr, did you actually read *any* of the posts in this thread?

This is actually the only thread I've seen in a long time where every single person agrees.

when PETAR sells as many records as the pet shop boys they can afford to make such wild boasts

I like this one and the willie nelson cover

[DarkVampire]

PETA is dumb. They need to stay involved in saving the whales.

One of my really good friends in a new age vegan peta crackpot (and I call him this daily). I never will understand the ridiculous ideas they come up with... I mean come on Sea kittens?! Asking a band that has been around for over 20 years to change their name now... effin stupid...

AWE SHIT.....it's THE END OF THE WORLD!

CALL THE PRESS...CALL THE PULL....CALLING ALL CARS....

................Everyone lie down on the ground and no one will get hurt!

No really though...when this many distantly different peoples...WE MUST BE RIGHT!

(Albeit we are all distantly related via a keen knowing of a deep sence of gloom.)

{I think I just defined "GOTH" in a 1 line sentence.}

Damn how many times will the end of the world come before it really is the end of the world?!?!

Im not really sure that this should be turned into an argument about what "goth" is...

I'm so goth that PETA shits bricks about how I shit bats.

[TygerLili]

*facepalm* PETA is the reason that people look at me like I'm a sociopath when I tell them I'm a vegetarian.

I don't think I know a single person in real life who doesn't hate PETA, or isn't at least extremely annoyed by them.

This just in! Sane people request that PETA change its name to DSWTHUTA to better reflect the reality of the group. "Dip Shits With Their Heads Up Their Asses" is a far more fitting term.

It was JUST an aside (and it was my thought.)...jeeze...who made you the topic police?

So I brought this up to my crackpot peta friend and he poses and amazing point that we have all fallen into with this topic.

We paid attention...

as much as their requests and ideas are completely inane and out of rational frame of mind... they make us pay attention to them and sometimes even visit their websites...

now... Think of it this way (im a huge fan of marketing and PR stuff so this intrigues me and I gotta hand it to them im a bit jealous of how well this works) If 10000 people all see this article and 5000 of them go visit a peta website and out of that half 1000 join their cause... they win. peta doesnt really expect The Pet Shop Boys to change their name.. but it made us all read and talk about them.

They follow the "no publicity is bad publicity" idea. Like the half naked people prostesting... We look, we remember, we talk about it. They win...

next part of this that I understand but still find ignorant... Yes peta kills animals every year like crazy. But, they are not a shelter. they are a fanatical group of douchewads. Truthfully the animals they do euthanize are usually in such bad shape its inhumane to let leave them be.

I do find their idea that the entire world has enough space to grow enough crops to feed everyone in a vegan way to be ridiculous. Plus... where do all the animals removed from the meat industry supposed to go? Growing this insane amount of crops would encroach into wild habitat that is left alone at the moment... That would drive out wild animals into the cites where they would inevitably be killed by a car or lack of space, etc

in closing... peta is completely inane over the top marketing genius whackjobs.

/rant off

Wow, that makes complete sense. They are just assholes with a plan...huh...but no matter what it will take a few more boobs to get me to their website, and many more boobs to get me to consider joining...

[anametamystik]

Discordians can be assholes with a plan when an Operation Mindfuck fails.

I can't believe Trixie's does not have dehydrated water. Regular water has so many dangerous chemicals in it like hydric acid.
