Peta's "Sea Kitten" campaign

PETA, everyone's favorite pro-animal organization (you know, the ones with the controversial ads and tactics that makes vegetarians ashamed to be associated with them) has started a new ad effort to make people stop eating fish.

Their idea? Call fish "sea kittens." They are using the fact that everyone loves kittens and no one could possibly eat one (except Koreans of course). I applaud their effort to try and capitalize on the cuteness of the kitten, but let's face it - a rose would smell as sweet by any other name, and a fish would taste as delicious (especially to a real cat) by any other name.

Before you vegans get all up on in my grill, trust me, i know that fishing is awful and that the oceans are really overfished and whatever. I just think this is a stupid idea. Here's a news article about the campaign.

Anyway, i made myself a sea kitten. a ramones sea kitten:
