PETA has been nuts for years. They are much more about getting publicity than about actually helping animals. (Like, there's been at least one case where they broke into a lab and released the animals, who of course all died because they didn't know how to survive in the wild.)

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Go Salma! That's awesome!
The firefighter sharing his water with the koala broke me.
PETA reaches new heights of offensiveness.
Jesus. They're nuts.
That's even worse than sea kittens.
I'm starting to think that PETA is run by a lone weirdo in a windowless room who sends out memos to the rank-and-file members, ordering them to do this shit, just to see how massively weird of an idea it's going to take to get the rank-and-file members to balk.
(Okay, I don't, but it sort of seems like it, doesn't it? I have this image of some dude sitting around, thinking, "I know! I'll tell them to dress like Klansmen! They'll NEVER do that...what? They DID? Oooookay -- maybe they'll really wear SS uniforms, then.")
That Salma Hayek story was great.

Looks like Kadima is coming out slightly ahead of Likud in the Israeli elections, but the right-wing block still has a majority (around 63 or 64 or the 120 seats.) [link] A pretty good summary of the parties: [link]
I interrupt these moments of humanitarianism and koal...itarianism to mention that Parker Lewis Can't Lose is FINALLY coming out on DVD. Sometime this year. But still, yay!
Kubiak!
