PETA wanjts to buy OJ Simpson's house

The content is on the label regarding this thread. Here’s the link: PETA To JPMorgan Chase: Give Us O.J. Simpson’s Foreclosed Home.

I’m not sure I have the jokes for that to put it in MPSIMS, that’s why I’m putting it in the pit. PETA is doing this to open a “Meat is Murder Museum”. That is so far beyond absurd I don’t have the words.

I never respected PETA, and I can usually think of some very good invective regarding them, but this has not only reached my WTF? threshold, it has surpassed it. I’m fucking speechless.

I knew they were idiots, but that surprises me.

They are lunatics who have probably done so many bad things to animals at some point that this is their way of making amends – now the animals are more important than anything. I think they should go save some lions or alligators or something by providing them dinner – themselves. At least they’d stop annoying us with their insanity.

Rates right up there with a news article I saw about PETA a few weeks ago.

PETA Wants Roadside Memorial For Cows.

I thought about starting a pit thread then, but decided they were just too pathetic to be worth the effort.

[Grumman]

They’re not even pretending not to be professional trolls any more, are they?

If the organization gets access to the house, PETA officials say they plan to use the property to open a “Meat Is Murder” museum, because Simpson often promoted meat products in the past.

Who cares about little things like murder, kidnapping and armed robbery? The guy promoted meat products!

And they want the house for free? JPMorgan should tell them where they can shove their self-importance.

It’s about time somebody opened a museum dedicated to The Smiths. Really paved the way for every British indie act since, they did.

I’m a little surprised that home’s even available. Surely it was an attractive place, it’s in trendy Brentwood, we know there’s a guest quarters and I’m sure there’s at least a few people that would relish owning a place so internationally famous despite its noteriety. Yet, there it sits for $478K, which really doesn’t sound like much at all.

PETA’s got plenty of crazy assed celebs worth millions that provide them with support. Quit panhandling and just buy the damn place already.

My fervent wish is that every member of PETA be eaten by ravenous wombats.

Personally I’m waiting for the one devoted to Morrissey: The Interesting Drug Museum.

[Projammer]

Is it worth mentioning that Fred Phelps and family can claim, “At least we’re not PETA.”

Seriously, how lame do you have to be to make Phelps look reasonable by comparison?

Yeah, I was most surprised by that. That amount of money woulsn’t get you half that house around here.

What doesn’t surprise me is that PETA is being a drama queen again.

I heard there are bloodstains on the floor, and some stoner is squatting in the guest-house. Brings down the value.

It’s not much at all for a place in trendy Brentwood, because the house is about 3,000 miles away from trendy Brentwood. As this article points out, it’s in Florida, south of Miami.

And yet again, PETA succeeds in their mission #1: be the most-talked-about nonprofit around. WTG, PETA!

Seriously, I’ve tried searches on other nonprofits: Amnesty International, UNICEF, HSUS, etc. None of them get nearly as many pixels on this board as PETA does. I’m convinced that’s what they’re trying to do, and I’m convinced that they’re great at it. As long as we keep obliging them, they’ll keep on keepin on.

[howye]

I work in a field that PETA and certain other groups…take issue with. Or at least parts of the industry. Anyhoo, having dealt with these groups I can say that while I disagree with their goals I find HSUS to be a focused, goal-oriented, organization that gets things done. PETA, on the other hand, wasn’t even at the table. Not enough publicity or cash donations I guess.

Can you imagine how cluttered the roadsides would be if they wanted them for deer?

There is also a Brentwood in Florida, so it’s really only 300 miles from trendy Brentwood.

Now they tell us, four times in the first two paragraphs. Forget it then, not interested. Those people on the coast, they’re crazy.

[Vicullum]

Hasn’t PETA learned by now? Stick with nude protests or GTFO.

Reminds me of the title of one epsiode of Psych:

“Meat is murder, but murder is also murder”

Exactly right. They want folks to talk about them and even to say how much they hate them, because then their supporters, and yes they have many, many supporters, start to fill the coffers.
