PETA is fun

The animal rights goofs are starting to target celebrities who eat meat:

Alistair Currie, a spokesman for Peta, said: "Jessica Simpson might have a right to wear what she wants, but she doesn't have a right to eat what she wants – eating meat is about suffering and death. Some people feel like they are standing up against a tide of political correctness when they make a statement like this – what she is really doing is standing up for the status quo."

The animal rights group doctored a photo of Ms Simpson to read "Only Stupid Girls Eat Meat", and listed "five reasons only stupid girls eat meat".

When they've gone after fur-wearers in the past, most people didn't care much because fur is a luxury that they don't personally own. The problem here is that just about everybody eats meat, and a large chunk of those that don't aren't against it for these silly reasons. I'd predict a backlash if not for the fact that everyone laughs at PETA anyway. They just haven't picked up on it yet.
