Ironically, I’ve read that soy can actually lower testosterone levels.
After some Googling, it appears there may not be any trustworthy evidence for this, but on the other hand, it doesn’t strike me as any sillier than PETA’s claim.
Besides, I thought Santa only comes once a year anyway.
I, too, don’t understand why PETA does this. It’s not like their silly, lowbrow jokes ever get them tons of attention or feed their desire to be viewed as bad boys. It’s not like every time they come up with a way to tweak meat-eaters, meat-eaters oblige them by acting all tweaked. What could they possibly be gaining from these stunts?
There’s a reason, folks, why I quit tormenting the street-corner Jesus crispies: I figured out that they wanted to be tormented.
In honor of PETA and their efforts on my behalf, I shall do my best to devour as many different animals as possible in the next week.
If you want to earn my respect and get my attention, then just be vegetarian and LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!!! All the billboards and actions by you nutcases just make me stubborn.
Kill A Cow For Jebus.
This reminds me of something I swear must have been a very funny anti-liberal joke. We have a couple of talk radio stations here that tend to be rather conservative, one of which even calls itself “Austin’s Conservative Voice”. Well, there’s some syndicated conservative talk show on that station, I can’t remember which one. One day the host couldn’t make it in, and as the guest host they brought on a liberal writer for TIME magazine who had never hosted anything in his life and his guest was a high-ranking official at PETA.
The conservatives of this nation REALLY had at these people, especially when the PETA lady was proudly telling stories of harassing people at grocery stores and restaurants. Can you just imagine how hard the programming directors must have been laughing? How did they pitch the idea with a straight face? Man, that cracked me up.
They’re basically blackmailing him into supporting their cause.
I mean, I’m not a Clay Aiken fan, but basically he only said he doesn’t like house cats, not that he was going to torture them and then make them into hors d’oevres.
My take is that PETA is one of those groups where the people who run it are more interested in impressing the others in the (usually small) group with their loyalty to the “cause” in some kind of competition for “who can be the most dedicated” than actually advancing its stated objectives. They may impress each other, but they seem to be alientating just about everyone else on the planet.
You’ve nailed it, wireless. Except for when they do extremely outlandish things like what’s in the OP, I think the only people who pay attention to PETA are the members of PETA.
