You're singing show tunes at shrift on a Monday morning?
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 gone way 'round the bend.
PETA has been nuts for years. I don't know anyone involved in animal rights who takes them seriously anymore.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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!")

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
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?

BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
"Okay, how about we start a eugenics program?"
"And how do we do that, Phil?"
"Well, you know Karen? The one with the hair?"
"She made that awesome flyer about how cows mate for life or something, right?"
"Yeah. Anyway. Wouldn't you want to fuck her?"
"Hells, yeah, dude! But so?"
"Would you stop eating meat to fuck her?"
"I already don't eat meat."
"Yeah, but if you did."
"Hmmm...I see your point. But I don't get..."
"What if we got her to date an omnivore...?"
"Ugh!"
"...granted, and then she could convert him!"
"I see. And if they have kids..."
"Instant vegan! Just add social engineering and some wine in a box."
"Brilliant!"
