PETA’s Sea Kitten Campaign Gets Pranked With Steak Ad
Some clever techies confused PETA supporters today by pulling a well-executed prank against their campaign to “re-brand” fish as sea kittens.
For at least a couple hours today, the internet was abuzz with the fact that www.SeaKittens.com had an Omaha Steaks ad smack-dab at the top of the page. But PETA can’t really be that careless, right?

Turns out that the page is a line-by-line duplicate of PETA’s actual sea kittens campaign site, but it’s not owned by PETA at all. According to Alley Insider, PETA has confirmed that the site is a parody and that they are not running any steak ads.
All jokes aside, giving up meat is one of the best ways you can help stop the advancement of global warming and air and water pollution.

Interesting article… up until the last paragraph which seems just slapped in there as blatant propoganda.
For every sea kitten you don’t eat, I’m gonna eat 3.
Wow, you have to admit that is comical!

LOL!
Its not a line by line recreation, its just a frame. Either way its pretty funny, I dugg it up. Thanks!
Come seriously — not eating meat reduces global warming?
What about all the tractors and combines it takes to harvest crops? Or the water used to irrigate the crops and the run-off that results.
Hippies are clueless.

Screw that! Meat is delicious!
Wouldn’t giving up meat cause more global warming? I’ve heard cows give off a lot of methane which is bad for the environment. If you ask me, it should be a federal law that every US citizen has to consume a specific amount of beef a year to combat global warming. Also, if we all gave up meat, what would we do with all the livestock we have? Let them roam free? If that were to happen all the animals would die of disease and starvation.

No. Just… No. Cattle ranching != meat eaters. They could fill the cattle pasture with corn or something and it would be the same.
Just for that comment, I’m thinking arby’s…
