Naturally, Aiken's people are suing PETA. :eyes:

1. Clay ran over a KITTEN???
I'm SHOCKED!!!!:o :o

He seemed like such a nice guy.... I'm SO disillusioned now... the world of the Idol has come tumbling down... I can't believe Clay let me down like this. I should have voted for Ruben!
(only 1/2 sarcastic)

3. Two wrongs don't make a right... but
damn.... if that guy wasn't repulsive to me before, he sure as hell is now. Well, maybe its his kitten's karmic revenge...

Peta is off the wall, regardless.

2. Well, they sure convinced me!
I'm an average unconcerned person who just loves to see people mocked to make a point. I'm much more likely to have my pet spayed or neutered now. I know their "Would you give your right arm to know why sharks bite humans?" campaign sure convinced me to quit eating sharks, and it cast that whole Jesse Arbogast kid's shark attack in a humorous light to boot. Damn funny people, PETA. Care about every animal except humans.

Who's Clay Aiken?

5. I liked Clay over Rueben
Clay had more vocal power, I think, though their styles are totally different.

6. PETA doesn't do their movement any favors as usual....
It seems they go out of their way to be as offensive as possible.

8. If you ran over a kitten and bragged about it,
you're fair game.

10. PETA, as usual, is a lying bag of ****
I thought we were grownups here, people who know that just because it is in print does NOT mean it is true!

Clay Aiken ACCIDENTLY ran over his kitten as a teenager and has felt haunted by this act to affect the total fear of cats. He is an animal lover and used to take care of his pet goat, taking it everywhere and now has a pet dog. He loves dogs.
Triumph the dog is a toy dog with a man's hand up it's butt. The man is Smigel, the head writer of Conan. Conan has been running a bunch of homophobic jokes with Clay Aiken as the joke for over a month, every night.
So Triumph, who has an album coming out, takes this ad to PETA and they both go with it because this guy has good name recognition and devoted fans. Wow, if it was not for Michael Jackson, it would be a good, albeit false, scandal!

Let's talk about PETA. Like less than 1% of the donations make it to help animals. Most is spent on lavish waterfront offices, nice salaries and parties and publicity stunts and "education" or as I would call it, lies.
They have funded ALF and ELF, the arsonist home grown terrorists and are supported with our tax dollars.
What good works do they do, let's see, they go to dog shows and release dogs from cages, so they can run in the street and get run over. They free turkeys from turkey farms, you know what happens with food turkeys and the rain, right? They drown because they don't know enough to shut their mouths.
Yes, there are horrible things that happen to animals, but why not give money to a charity that might actually help animals rather than just themselves.

Right now, Triumph is blaming PETA for this whole thing because people have complained to NBC and PETA is blaming the toy dog for coming to them with the ad. PETA say they will drop this ad (well now that it has received national play, they don't need it any more) if Clay will put a link on his business site and if he gives them a special interview, supports their site and apologiezes for hating cats. Can you spell blackmail?

I have hated this phony organization for years, now I feel empowered because I can play with Aiken's fans, and they are scary and numerous and powerful(willing to put their wallets behind everything they do). 4 companies have broken connections with PETA and will never support them again.
