Oh, Those Wacky Nut Jobs at PETA

...have gone and done it again, the impish devils. When last you saw your intrepid reporter, she was covering a protest at a local school against FISH STICKS. Now PETA's going after

MURDEROUS DADDIES EVERYWHERE


Michael Jackson and PETA all in the same day. It's like a gift.

PETA: "Your daddy kills animals!"

My kid: "Um, yeah. What's your point?"

I kills 'em and my daughter eats 'em!

The quote I found funny from the interview with Tucker is the one about "well, you wouldn't put a hook through your dog's lip..." No, WE wouldn't. But the holier than thou FRENCH do, the a$$holes. So why aren't you on the streets frightening small children there.

The campaign is aimed at fisher folk (you know who you are...dave), but I'm sure the implication is that any meat eating hunter gatherer male of the species...

is a MURDERER.

When you call someone a murderer, you should be prepared to be proven right. The fishermen and lobstermen of Gloucester are overwhelmingly of Sicilian origin...and I'm sure when presented with such insults would be more than likely to present PETA with, ahem, an offer it can't refuse.

Unless they want to sleep with the fishes.

I'm sure there's some sort of PETA prohibition against interspecie carnal knowlege, Dave. That's just sick to suggest it. Flounder in bed? Never!

(Then again, makes you wonder how "cod-piece" originated.)

Foxnews had one of those PETA fools on trying to defend that stupid brochure/comic book/ whatever. They were thisclose to busting out in hysterical laughter.

That HAD to be excruciating for them. HAD to be. I would've died right there on the spot.

I thought French put hooks through the lips of poor defenseless SNAILS? Oh the escargot!!

There is something fishy going on here.....

"I'm sure there's some sort of PETA prohibition against interspecie carnal knowlege, Dave."

Um, then you would probably be wrong. PETA's patron saint and spiritual leader, Peter Singer, thinks interspecies diddling is the cat's pajamas.

So to speak.

Amusing take on Singer's, er, proclivities here.

Well, if the fish don't like it, they can jolly well create a civilization of their own and fight back. Or call Aquaman.

No, wait - he just bullies them around too, doesn't he? "Quick, giant squid! I'm an idiot who can't keep out of trouble! Jump in front of those torpedos for me! And you, school of tuna, lose hundreds of your number in a pointless diversionary maneuver that's crappily animated while we swim away!" What a rip-off. I'd rather take my chances with the Bassmasters, thank you very much.

I love that the "Daddy" on the cover is wearing a red tie. I always wear a red tie when I go fishing, you never know when your favorite power tie will give you that extra intimidation edge. It works particularly well against Northern Pike. Mark that down any of you novices out there.

I don't get too bent about this crap because in my experience it really doesn't work with most kids. The few times I've seen where it did work have been opportunities for a little education about nature. I usually start with...."So tell me, what do fish eat?".

Aquaman's a pussy.

For what? Your bagel on the ferry?

Oh, come on, Clever Dave. We all know it's because YOU want to be the guy Hal, Al and his pals pick when they do a magazine shoot.

Posted by: tree hugging sister at December 2, 2005 10:24 AM

Well, that's kind of a given, THS.
