PETA just moved into pure Poe's Law territory

[Elder Iptuous]

And I thought I was shameless and self-promoting.  Hmmm.  I feel a plot coming on...  I'll see what hatches.  PETA needs to have their ethical limits tested.   
(or at least made fun of)

I think you should really do some research first... PETA is one of the last organizations I can think of that needs to have their ethical limits tested, because they don't seem to have any. These people steal dogs from shelters and then kill them, by the truckload. They are scum.

what?!  
for real? like, verified?
they do this regularly?

You are.  You're just not much good at it.

This was all over the news a few years ago.

Yeah, but I think in my heart I've got the shameless bit down.

Also, as a side note

I've refrained from posting to your threads cuz I said i would, but particularly liked the stuff in Horrorology.  Would it be cool to post about nuclear fallout there? the topic seems fit to the board.

HolyCrap!  I can't even digest this right now.. or my lunch.

No.  That's a fear/loathing thing.  It has nothing to do with horror.

Is there any particular reason you quoted all that without adding any commentary to it?

Sorry, accident with the interface I think.  I modded it to say what I meant to.

No.  That's a fear/loathing thing.  It has nothing to do with horror.

Fair enough Doktor.

Ahh, gotcha.

[Doktor Howl]

No.  That's a fear/loathing thing.  It has nothing to do with horror.

Fair enough Doktor.

There's a thread in Horrorology that explains the difference.

Besides, who the fuck worries about nuclear fallout, these days?  Most people would WELCOME it.

Yeah I read it.  It's one of the thumb tacked ones I believe.

Well, to me the horror of fallout is that there's no easy way to tell if there a radioactive element that mimics, say, calcium in a piece of fish or if there's uranium in the blood and glands of a lover or oxidized in the air.

It's also an unknown fear of the future in that even small amounts can cause mutation in a population and we recently received... um, not small amounts on a coastline.

I've got this darn soft spot for people you see. It's a life long and crippling malady..

So fucking what?  Your fish is already full of arsenic and mercury, which will fuck you up way faster and in worse ways than a trace amount of radiation.

[Doktor Howl]

For fuck's sake, this is the 21st Century.  EVERYTHING is poisonous.  Your food, your water, your TV, your politics, your sex, EVERYTHING.

There's no sense screaming about it to people who can't do anything about it, and have FAR more pressing concerns.  Telling a man who is on fire that he has skin cancer is hardly productive, if you catch my drift.  Right now, people are worrying about whether they'll be able to eat ANYTHING in 6 months, whether they'll have a place to stay, that sort of thing.  Telling them about radiation that has already escaped and can't be cleaned up serves no immediate purpose.

You really know how to make a point.

Point taken.
