Sea Kittens?

"People don't seem to like fish. They're slithery and slimy, and they have eyes on either side of their pointy little heads—which is weird, to say the least. Plus, the small ones nibble at your feet when you're swimming, and the big ones—well, the big ones will bite your face off if Jaws is anything to go by.

Of course, if you look at it another way, what all this really means is that fish need to fire their PR guy—stat. Whoever was in charge of creating a positive image for fish needs to go right back to working on the Britney Spears account and leave our scaly little friends alone. You've done enough damage, buddy. We've got it from here. And we're going to start by retiring the old name for good. When your name can also be used as a verb that means driving a hook through your head, it's time for a serious image makeover. And who could possibly want to put a hook through a sea kitten?"

Oh PETA, we love you so! I actually do like a lot of what PETA does, but Sea Kittens?!?!

The "sea kittens" thing is really silly. I know there's a lot of question over the vegi-sex Super Bowl ad, but frankly, is it any worse than Jessica Simpson causing a near fatal erection on an under-age boy for Pizza Hut? It isn't that different from most beer commercials, except that the women in the PETA ad weren't sporting double-stuffed items. PETA has its moments, but I really think "sea kittens" should win the award for weirdest.

pets and the oceans and lakes are fished to extinction to fill up little suzy's sea kitten dream aquarium :P

8, biggest heartbreak of my life back then, fucking sea monkeys!

Does kitten go well with tartar sauce?

Therein lies the biggest problem I have with PETA. They may have some good ideas and the best of intentions, but just like the GOP they also come up with a lot of truly stupid ones to reel in the fruitiest and the nuttiest to build a constituency.

And while it may be true that the highest mammalian vertebrates can certainly feel pain and have some of the same emotions that humans do, fish most certainly do not fit into that category regardless of what PETA's pseudo science would have you believe. So really their ridiculous media slut antics are nothing more than a thinly veiled promotion of veganism rather than a truly "ethical" one.

If you truly believe in the "ethical" treatment of animals, there are lots of animal welfare organizations that are more worthy of support.

with vinegar.

:crazy:
