Funny...I've met a lot of fat vegans. Mainly ones equally preachy about their wiccanism as they are their veganism. :shifty:
I recently asked Monk Asst. if "Fat Vegan" was a good band name and he said no because there are some.
Monkey Assistant deserves a raise.
I bought him some ass burning hot sauces when I was in Texas.

Foolish Monkey Assistant, hold out for hard currency, which can be used for multiple purchases, including hot sauces.

He'll never make Monkey Manager with that attitude.

PETA is targeting my town now: http://www.peta.org/blog/runaway-reinde ... -colorado/

There some factual errors in PETA's blog post, beginning with the fact that the reindeer wasn't inside a mall (or inside anywhere).

Can I take the opportunity to warn the mayor that one of the councillors really likes the Exploited? By any sensible measure, that trumps reindeer abuse.

You've persuaded me. I'll hold off. :lol:

Pet Shop Boys asked to change their name by PETA
How far would you go for charity? It used to be considered gallant to sit in a bath of baked beans to raise money, but Pet Shop Boys have been asked to go one step further. Animal rights group Peta have approached them, requesting that the band change their name to the Rescue Shelter Boys, as a protest against the cruel conditions of many pet shops.

"Dear Neil and Chris," begins the letter from Peta Europe, "You have many loyal fans of the Pet Shop Boys here at Peta. We have a request that may at first seem bizarre, but we hope that after considering the following facts, you will understand why we are asking this of you: will you please consider changing your name from the Pet Shop Boys to the Rescue Shelter Boys?" Well, it certainly makes those baked beans seem insignificant.

According to Peta representative Yvonne Taylor, the cuddly image of the pet shop is one that belies the often terrible conditions dogs, cats and even hamsters have to suffer while living in them. "With an emphasis on quantity rather than quality," Taylor writes, "unmonitored genetic defects and personality disorders pass from one generation of puppies and kittens to the next. Many animals end up with abnormalities that result in both heartbreak and high veterinary bills for the unsuspecting people who buy them."

The letter, posted on Pet Shop Boys' website, continues to paint a thoroughly bleak picture of the reality of pet shops before cunningly suggesting that "agreeing to change your name to the Rescue Shelter Boys, you would help raise awareness about the cruelty involved in the pet trade and encourage your millions of fans to consider giving a home to an abandoned or unwanted animal from an animal shelter. So, what do you say?"

Sadly, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe could not comply with Peta's request. But according to a post on their website, they do think the request "raises an issue worth thinking about".
How many people do they dissuade by their ridiculous ideas? We can probably all agree that what happens in pet stores is actually pretty hideous, but PETA consistently manages to make sensible positions seem the domain of the flaky.
" Animal rights group Peta have approached them, requesting that the band change their name to the Rescue Shelter Boys"

Peta Shop Boys would require a lots less type on the duo's new single sleeve. A remix of "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" (with Lady Ga Ga). The sleeve will feature a pig wrapped in bacon.

PETA apparently has no idea how shitty it is to offer to pay the water bills of inner city Detroit poor IF AND ONLY IF they agree to go vegan.

If your tactics include preying on the desperate, self-defining as representing superior morality should result in a complete internal collapse due to profound contradictions. One would think, anyway.

Ah, but when your organization is based on the initial presumption that internal chaos and self-defeating contradiction is a feature not a bug. . .
