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.

Its not a line-by-line recreation of the Peta site. Its obviously in an iframe.
Yea, I’m going to give up steak to save the environment. Good one!
I think you meant to say “giving up beef”, noob
hahahahahahhahaha
Steak is really yummy. I love a good bacon wrapped Filet and also love my veggies but see no reason to ever give up eating meat.

Hahahaha damn that was funny, if only it was real. A similar movement was started by a few asian countries, but this was to change the name from cat, to land fish. Mmmmmm, land fish sounds better than cat any day of the week.

I never ate “sea kittens” before I saw this campaign. Now I feel campaigned to. I’m also eating “land fish”.
