Now I respect the work PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) does in the world, but the tactics they're using are becoming a little out there. Consider two developments this week.

It recently revived an old ad campaign of drinking beer instead of milk since naturally, a cow would be better off. They've been running ads in college newspapers with the words Got Beer? Hmm, I guess as long as beer isn't given to the cow. PETA may not be happy in Berkeley with that alcohol ban still in effect or so I remember. It's been keeping parties around here dry and oh so boring.

In Milwaukee, the ballpark over there is famous for its sausage races. Four guys in hot dog, italian sausage, polish sausage, and bratwurst costumes run around the ballpark and see who wins. Well, PETA couldn't stand all that meat running around and suggested why not have a vegetarian alternative? The suggestion out there is a Soysage, but don't expect that to happen anytime soon.
