PETA, Sea Kittens, and Steak

Some of you might not have heard about PETA's latest half-baked attempt (pun intended) to dissuade people from eating fish. Their "logic":
  1. People eat less of creatures that they think are cute
  2. Fish aren't cute
  3. Kittens are cute
So, the solution? Just rename fish "sea kittens", and people will think they're cuter, and eat less fish. Riiiiiiight.

Luckily, someone had already registered the site Seakittens.com. When you go to the site, the PETA site www.peta.org/Sea_Kittens shows in the lower frame. What's in the upper frame? An ad for Omaha Steaks.

Making money off a far-left whacky group? Priceless.

If I ever have a PETA sticker on my car, it will be People for the Eating of Tasty Animals, and it will have the phrase "All God's Creatures Have Their Place - Right Next To the Mashed Potatos"
