'War Stories'
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.
I? Am flabbergasted.
PETA has gone way 'round the bend. They've decided that people eat fish because they're called fish. So to keep people from yanking fish out of the fishy sea and eating their fishy flesh, fish shall from hereon be known as...no shit..."sea kittens".
Which, perversely, makes me crave seafood all the more.
"Mmmm...fillet of sea kitten in melted butter..."
You're singing show tunes at shrift on a Monday morning? Brave man.

I'm just paraphrasing lyrics. There are limits.
You have a great evil in you, Gudanov. Come closer so that I can remove it with a melon baller.

PETA has been nuts for years. I don't know anyone involved in animal rights who takes them seriously anymore.
That is hilarious, at least. And it's got to be funny on purpose -- did you create your own sea kitten?? Hilarious!
I am cracked out from cold medicine and have meeting after meeting today. Oy.

There has to be a freedom of sorts in that, you know? You've already blown it, nobody is going to take you seriously no matter what you do...you just sit around and try to justify drawing some kind of pay from some poor schlubs' donations. But the meetings have to be a blast.
"Um, okay...let's call Alaska 'the Palin Murderdome'."
"Is there a dome over Alaska?"
"No. We could build one."
"How much would that cost?"
"Yeah, okay. What if we rename fish 'sea kittens'?"
"That wouldn't cost a fucking dime, would it?"
"Not really, no."
"Brilliant. Whatever. Let's go grab some tofu."
"You're buyin'."
According to several former employees, PETA encourages its employees to date omnivores and try to get them to become vegan. (Which really fits in with most of their recent advertising, which has essentially been "These hot naked women want you to stop eating meat!")
Given that kittens would shred any fish they got their hands on, naming fish "sea kittens" makes me think of some self-mutilating, autosarcophagian horror. It does not make me think "too cute to eat."
I don't understand. PETA is running a campaign against eating catfish?
