The people at PETA are a bunch of assholes. I lost all respect for Bob Barker when I read about him giving $2 million to this organization of douchebags.
True Story.
Weekend before last my girlfriend & I went down to St. Augustine to see Rise Against & Bad Religion, the tickets for which she won a couple of months ago off the local radio station. About half way through Rise Against's set they paused for a minute to give thanks to everyone helping them with the show, roadies, concessions, etc. Every time they'd name someone off they'd get a cheer from the crowd. Apparently, Rise Against are big fans of PETA, who had a booth set up outside of the amphitheater. When they got to thanking PETA, the crowd simply died. No loud cheer. There was a somewhat audible "huh" & people around us were turning their heads to look at each other in disbelief. PETA is very unpopular around these parts. The concert was great, but that part stuck with me & makes me chuckle whenever I think of it.
