The idea was to show Hispanics that they should boycot the circus. Somehow I don't think the message got across... :mg:

If somebody can help me link the photo to this page, it will be worth it ;)

I am wholeheartedly in support of PETA's efforts to parade around nude people, and I support their right, nay, their *imperative* to do so.

I like to look at the news pics of such events while eating a big, juicy steak.

PETA's campaign in the US attempted to get well-known actresses to stand nude behind a sign that said "I'll go naked before I'll wear fur". There is a photo of that somewhere too. The names of better-endowed actresses who participated slips my mind at this time, but I remember that they got busted (forgive the pun) by some of New York's Finest before things got out of hand (sorry, the puns keep slipping out) :p

Is that what you call them? Puns? I've never heard them called that before. Cute.

You guys must miss all the good stuff by not watching Hispanic television. Today, from Pamplona, Spain, film of PETA's protest against the Running of the Bulls. It's cruel, you know :rolleyes:

The world saw at least six lovely young women dressed in nothing at all except black panties and huge bull's horns mounted on their heads :mg: One can only hope that no bulls were harmed in order to acquire said horns, but everything else was ALL natural.

One young man was also present in part of the film, but since you could only see to his waist we don't know how many horns ..... nevermind.

Is that a cable channel? :confused:

I like this quote from the article linked in the OP:

Jerry Schubel, aquarium president, said in a statement that the facility served only sustainable and environmentally friendly fish and was committed to educating the public about conserving ocean environments.

Does anybody want to explain to me what an environmentally UNfriendly fish is? What? Do they litter the bottom of the ocean floor with the wrappers from their poodle burgers?

Tonchi, I knew I needed to start watching Spanish language cable channels more often and you have confirmed the intuition I've been having in that regard.

I will say that I do consider bull fighting to be a cruel sport, though.

Sharks with Frickin' LASER BEAMS on their frickin' heads!

And if we can't get that, how about really, really mean sea bass?

Whales with diarrhea have long caused conflict for Greenpeace ... use the Rainbow Warrior to protect them, or ram them because they are spilling raw sewage into the oceans? What to do, oh what to do?

Fish that have been transplanted by humans into ecological niches where they raise hell. :(

Wouldn't one WANT to eat them in such cases? It WOULD be one way of getting rid of them and solving the problem. Here! Have a nice plate of lamprey eels!

xoxoxoBruce 07-09-2005 08:06 PM

No but plenty of people eat bass and brown trout that are killing off native species to name a couple of the hundreds if not thousands of problems. :(

marichiko 07-09-2005 08:32 PM

Ooooh, I hate those damn German brown trout that are crowding out all our nice little native brook trout and rainbows out here. Those brown trout don't even taste that good - not to my palate, anyhow. I don't know how we can get rid of the awful things. If you hear of something, let me know!

Fish. Fish a lot. Until they're all gone.
