I think it's time to disband your organization when people want to eat more meat just to piss you off.

Anything with tofu in it automatically looks like vomit. Its got the same consistency too.

Tofu is delicious AS TOFU.

It is not meat, it is bean curd. Used as what it is: beans, it can be a delightful addition to many kinds of cuisine.

Used as vegans use it: meat jr, it's not very appealing at all.

I've been modded for posting meat still on the bone here before so I'll call this arguably NSFW.

Peta would like to remind you to slap that on the grill.

Really, I wouldn't mind hot lookin' Peta babes showing up with a fresh critter to grill occasionally. Would make my day really.

Jisaw: Ha. Asking a TEXAS town, of all places, to change their name to something Vegan friendly?

It worked.

They got their publicity.

PETA is like the fringe third-party candidates.

Just like those "Natural Constitutional Law for Jesus Party" candidates never start with running, say, for school board or township supervisor and instead immediately file to run for president, PETA has no sense of how to build a sympathetic consensus.

If PETA were to say something like "Look, we understand we're never going to stop people from eating meat, but while you're enjoying that steak why not ask yourself 'Do we really need to spray oven cleaner in a German Shepherd's eyes to find out if spraying oven cleaner in a person's eyes is bad? Don't we kinda already KNOW that chemicals strong enough to get gunk off a stove probably shouldn't be used in your eyes?" the average person might say "Y'know, that kinda does make sense."

But no, PETA goes right to "If you've ever eaten a piece of chicken, then you're worse than the Kommandant at Dachau. We demand that ferrets not only be given the right to vote, but be immediately placed on the ballot this year!"

(By the way, after you spray oven cleaner in a German Shepherd's eyes it's even crueler to take away that hooked stick thing before you send him back to his flock)

My favorite PETA story is the one about how they tell diabetics they're not allowed to use insulin because it's got animal products in it. Unless, of course, you're a VP at PETA.

But they simply can't leave it at that. I got free stickers from them when I was a teenager. Then I got a pamphlet from them that was damn near nothing but pictures of mutilated animals,then the next day they sent me address labels. It was like an awful mail sandwich.

I'm married to a type 1 diabetic, so I feel qualified to tell them to collectively eat a bowl of dicks. Besides, while some insulin is bovine-derived, most is human-derived, which is better for you anyway.

Hunh, there is such a thing as bad publicity after all.
