Someone find me a PETA campaigner, a dog and some worms. We're doing this.

Oh we're so doing this.

I know. Damn. He's pretty good.

Also, PETA: The trolls of the world.

I'm actually more upset that CNBC listed Obama's fly swat as breaking news more so than the fact that PETA got butthurt about it.

I'm going to have to agree with you there.

This is almost as hilarious as the Sea Kittens, though their crowning moment will always be when they asked Ben & Jerry's to use human milk instead of cow milk.

But yeah, does anyone even take PETA seriously anymore? I mean, seriously?

Lol, I remember Sea Kittens (in case you did not know it was PETA's new name for fish).

Did they really ask Ben & Jerry's to use HUMAN milk? that seems very far-fetched even for some whackjob animal rapists.

They really did.
Ben and Jerry's response was something along the lines of "We'll stick with cow milk and leave human milk to be used where it's actually needed".

Why do I have the feeling they're gonna fight for the rights of something like algae next?

PETA puts more animals to sleep than they save. They'd probably just do that.

It's an organization that uses shock advertising and goes after actions like this because it puts their name in the press. At the end of the day, PETA isn't about raising awareness for the ethical treatment of animals, it's about raising awareness for PETA.

As PETA wastes time away whining over the tragic loss of this Obama fly, millions of flies around the world are being cruelly swatted in kitchens and households all around the globe.

Think of all the single celled organisms you're killing every time you take a breath!

True... true.

That is awesome.

This is about about as bad as telling a furry convention not to use real fur on their fur suits. I like the response the head guy from Anthrocon sent PETA:

the PETV is even dumber than the PETA!!!

Totally relevant.

Anyway, imo PETA is hands down the most hypocritical activist group out there.

The PETV is sarcastic. They are making fun of PETA. That should have been obvious.

That depends.

How many cults are you in, have you been in, or will be in?

In this case...PETA is still creepier. By far.

It wasn't obvious to me.
