Normally, I am quiet and unassuming. I tend to keep my opinions to myself, and let people think/eat/do their own thing. Sometimes however, somebody does something so retarded, so moronic, that I have to speak up.

Enter PETA. Concerned about the plight of fish everywhere, they decided on a new idea. Was it using scientific fact and evidence to show that fish populations are declining worldwide? That jellyfish are taking over areas once filled with tasty fish? That because we are running out of good fish to catch we are selling "trash" fish we used to throw away? (Orange Roughy used to be called Orange slimehead, and was tossed as it was ugly as sin)

Nope. PETA has had the delightfully retarded idea to petition the goverment to rename fish "Sea Kittens" [link] It's complete with cute illustrations of fish in cat outfits, a make yer own Sea kitten game, and absolutly no redeeming value.

Wow. Just...wow. Sorry PETA, naming something cute does not mean people will eat less of it. Take cows. They have big brown eyes, they make cute moo noises, and are black and white and cute all over. Guess what. They still end up as hamburger.

Once again, instead of actually doing anything to help, like donating money to set aside fishing free waters, or calling people to their cause with intelligent, articulate arguments, we get a half-assed "look at us" ploy. PETA is getting lots of attention with this. Just the wrong kind. PETA, you are making the people who actually care about animals and vegans the world over look like infantile watchers of Finding Nemo.

Thanks for screwing up any chance of people acting serious around the idea of endangered fishing stocks PETA. Of course, maybe its not your fault, as a new scientific study shows that vegetarian's brains shrink. [link]
