Sea Kittens

The PETA people are at it again. They want to change the name of fish, wanting them to be called "Sea Kittens" instead, because they feel that people would reject eating something with a name that reminded them of their beloved family pet. Total lunacy you say? Well, maybe, but I think it might be interesting to go along on this one and see if it backfires, it is at least possible that instead of making people stop eating fish it actually encouraged them to start eating cats. More likely though, it would simply cause the less nuts among us to simply roll our eyes while we enjoy some fish, whatever the name.

Now, if you should happen to run into to one of these PETA nut jobs, and you feel like having a little fun say this, "Oh, PETA, yeah, I thought about joining once, until I found out it didn't stand for 'People Eating Tasty Animals'." You may want to have your guard up when you say this.

Seriously though, the groups' name, "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals" doesn't even make any logical sense. This is a radical group who believes that animals are fully equal to humans in every way, so how do they justify differentiating them in the name of their group? Doesn't their very name imply that humans are superior to animals? Shouldn't they call themselves "Human People for the Ethical Treatment of Non-human People"? Not as pretty and acronym, but at least it would accurately reflect what they believe.
