I'm not sure whether to laugh at PETA, pity PETA, hate PETA or eat a pita.

I think I'll have a beef pita while doing the other three.

Gonzo must be very disappointed. But, I suppose that Camilla can pose for her own cards.

Geesh, leave the kids alone. They're going to school to learn math and science and geography, not to be bombarded with political/environmental/ethical groups' agendas.

Ya know...I think that I'll have some fried yardbird for lunch...

PETA is such a fringe bunch of nutters that nothing they do really surprises me anymore.
 
2004-03-12 11:37:05 AM
I want some tortured chicken trading cards.
 
2004-03-12 11:37:20 AM
If I become a parent and PETA gives something like this to my kid I'll make them eat each other.
 
2004-03-12 11:37:21 AM
Here's the cards

Cruel Kyle is my new hero, and if I was out hogging I would totally go for Tubby Tammy.

I love--I LOVE animals. I can watch an episode of "Cops" where some lowlife has beaten the crap out of a victim with no problems, but I can't watch one second of "Animal Precinct."

But I despise PETA. If all they did was prevent animal abuse like the SPCA or Humane Society, I'd gladly help fund them. But horsecrap like this makes me vomit.

From the PETA website:

"When the chicks are born, their mom watches over them carefully, takes them under her wing to keep them safe, and teaches them all about life."

I'm curious, exactly what life experiences are shared during this tender moment? Must be fascinating.

In other news, I think I used to date this girl. She used to be a truck driver.

I agree with the idea of not buying products from companies that do things you disagree with, but PETA has some of the most disturbing methods I've ever seen outside of the fanatic Pro-Life groups. It hurts their own cause by shocking instead of educating. Worse yet, anthropomorphising chickens to traumitize little kids is just wrong, IMO.

Unlike a savory plate of chicken wings, PETA is tasteless.
 
2004-03-12 12:45:13 PM
Where can I get some? I need a Cruel Kyle rookie.
 
2004-03-12 12:48:59 PM
The one about chicken being covered in shiat and making you sick is pretty good as well. Gee, I guess they missed those E Coli infections from eating salad (it's happened numerous times).
 
2004-03-12 12:52:29 PM
peta may be tasteless.. but a "terrorist organization"? please. the cards aren't "chicken-killing themed", they arent graphic or explicit at all. the media likes to paint a picture of PETA throwing fake blood on 6-year olds and blowing up meat factories... unfortunately, this reflects poorly on animal rights and gives you Maddox Meatheads another justification for eating meat. i just wish peta, as a group, wouldn't target anyone under 16.

and newsflash, farkers: bragging about how good your meat tastes or any variant of the above just isn't funny. give it a rest
 
2004-03-12 12:56:16 PM
I think PETA is trying to toughen up their image bacause ELF makes them look like a bunch of lousy, no-good beatniks. ELF, now there's a true terrorist group. they don't fark around!
 
2004-03-12 12:59:23 PM
agreed cabfwdface

i'd sooner join ALF than PETA. and if it weren't for those Orwellian domestic-terrorist clauses in the Patriot Act, i probably would have already.

Alright, these cards weren't terrorist in nature. Remember that story from a few months back, though, where PETA handed out pamphlets to young kids telling them that their mothers slaughtered poor, poor animals because they wore fur? That sounds like "terror" to me. I'd be freakin terrified if I was 8 years old and had images of my mother skinning and torturing animals. And they're doing it to promote their political and social wants and needs. That, to me, certainly sounds like terrorism. Perhaps you have a different definition?

Also, I need no justification to eat meat. And I don't talk about eating meat to be funny, I do it because it's delicous. Mmmmmm.

/needs bacon
 
2004-03-12 01:34:13 PM
punkennedys: I think the terrorist part comes from PETA haven given money to ALF and ELF in the past.

I still get hot under the collar when I think about those pamphlets. I got into a major fight with a friend over them (he saw nothing wrong with it).

It was that day that I lost all my respect for PETA. Now I feel like being cruel to animals just to oppose PETA.

// off to eat some very rare dead cow
 
2004-03-12 02:09:04 PM
I think we should all make an agreement to slaughter a chicken (or cow, or dog, or . . . kitten) everytime PETA is in the news for some idiotic publicity stunt.

It's time to fight fire with fire! or in this case idiocy with killing!

or something. eat more chicken.

jdp311: That'a an interesting proposal. If we were to form a large group, as big as PETA (perhaps farkPETA: Friends Against Radical Knuckleheads PETA), and threaten to eat twice as much meat until they dissolved, would they stop? If they didn't, we could point our finger at them and say "see what you're making us DO!" It sounds silly, but certainly makes as much sense as PETA's campaign.

There's already a program in place very similiar to what you're talking about: Sponsor A Vegetarian. And, yes, I realize that by linking a Maddox article I've just reinforced the whole "Maddox Meatheads" stereotype that punkenndeys used, but it's funny and true.
 
2004-03-12 02:41:30 PM
At a production of the "Nutcracker Suite" in Denver PETA was passing out leaflets of "Your mommy kills animals" to kids who were with woman wearing fur.

Psychologically damaging children shows how wacky PETA is and anyone involved with that organization is a terrorist.
 
2004-03-12 02:54:57 PM
bravo zmiley! I think I may actually print it out and mount it to cardstock. very nice indeed.
 
2004-03-12 02:58:24 PM
I really need to get a set of those cards.

Every display they perform is such a facinating display of ineptitude and unitentional comedy. I wish they would broadcast the meetings where they think this stuff up.

I love animals. I laugh at Peta.
 
2004-03-12 03:04:38 PM
ok I just downloaded the pdf from their website. The backs of the cards are also great.

here is the info on ol 'Cruel Kyle:

Eating at KFC is mean. KFC
chickens are stuck in a big shed and
dont get to breathe fresh air or feel
the warm sun. They live in their
own poop and pee and are treated
horribly from the moment theyre
born until they have their
necks cut open with a
big knife. You can
stand up for chickens:
Dont eat at KFC, and
tell your friends not to
eat there, either.


Also - the resolution on the file really sucks - artifacts everywhere. How can I print out my favorites if they look like shiat?
 
2004-03-12 03:15:08 PM
You don't! Simply contact PETA and request a set (please include a small donation) and I'm sure they'll be pleased to send them to you. Preferably, ask for two sets in able to provide you with easy distribution to any school children you may harass know.

On warm summer Fridays when I drive down to the beach house I share with friends in Dewey Beach, I have to pass, like, twenty Perdue chicken barns.

Ever see a chicken barn? It's the length of a football field, but only 20 or 30 feet wide. There are no windows, only vents, and at each end are these two huge fans that suck in clean air and blow out bad air.

Blow it out, I should add, toward the direction of the two-lane highway that runs through the farmland.

Ever smell the sh*t of 100,000 chickens being blown at you on a warm summer day? You can smell it for about a mile before you hit the farm.

And each and every time I get hit in the face with that smell, I turn to my passenger, and I ask, "Do you know what that smell is?"

And each and every time, when they say they don't know, I put on a big smile, look wistfully down the road, and I answer, "Dinner."

And then we stop at the Greenwood R.F.D. and get BBQ chicken.

Yummy yummy, in my tummy.

And that's what I think of PETA.
 
2004-03-12 04:16:07 PM
If there's one group I have nothing but pure hatred for, it has to be PETA. Don't these people have anything better to do with their time?

I LOVES DA CHICKEN!

The anti-abortion people have been doing this for years.
 
2004-03-12 04:59:16 PM
I recently came across an interesting quip from PETA's president, Ingrid Newkirk, that is worth considering:

"Even if animal research resuted in a cure for AIDS, we'd be against it."

Charming.
 
2004-03-12 05:00:19 PM
Sorry for the typo.

"resuted" = "resulted"
 
2004-03-12 05:01:05 PM
The best chicken dish ever is found at Chicken Kitchen in Miami and it is called the chop-chop. I would be honored if I had my own PETA trading card: "Chicken Chewing Christine"
 
2004-03-12 05:01:30 PM
I wonder when we'll see an article about one of the PETA idiots getting the shiat beat out of him while pulling one of these stunts. Has that ever happened before? It would be refreshing to see.

Another point....if my school system allowed something like this, I'd have something to say about it. They indoctrinate our children enough without this drivel.

\carnivore at heart, wont eat anything that didnt have a face at one time
 
2004-03-12 05:01:56 PM
I used to have a set of kitten-killing-themed cards.
 
2004-03-12 05:01:58 PM
mmm tastes like tofu
 
2004-03-12 05:01:58 PM
Sounds like a photoshop to me!

/photoshop fan who has zero photoshop skills or experience - solely a passive observer
 
2004-03-12 05:03:02 PM
PETA should meet up with Jack Chick and make their own set of collaborative of cards.
 
2004-03-12 05:04:55 PM
I love animals (they're delicious) as much as the next girl. And, frankly, I don't eat much in terms of animal products. But I lost all respect for PETA when they resorted to these quasi-terrorist tactics. Scaring the crap out of little kids? Since when is that cool? I thought only religion was allowed to scare the crap out of little kids...
 
2004-03-12 05:05:56 PM
Guest speaker at the school assembly:

"Kids, just remember this song:

Don't choke a chicken,
Don't spank that monkey,
Don't wax that dolphin,
'Cause it makes god cry.


Huh? That's not what you meant? Than what did you mean?"
 
2004-03-12 05:07:26 PM
When are they going to come out with Smelly Hippie Trading Cards?
 
2004-03-12 05:08:27 PM
"It's a professional terrorist organization as far as I'm concerned."

Couldn't have said it better myself.
 
2004-03-12 05:08:47 PM
My favorite football card as a kid was some poor sap that had a cartoon rendition of a pizza running down the field (on the personal info section of his card that they used to have on Topps cards) Below the cartoon image it read "Bob's (can't remember his real name) team-mates call him Pizzaface!
 
2004-03-12 05:08:57 PM
Cluck off, PETA !!!
 
2004-03-12 05:09:29 PM
