Cuter than Helen Thomas...

Police cruisers would feature a buxom blonde dressed only in lettuce
In an open letter to Vallejo Police Chief Robert Nichelini, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have announced their latest publicity stunt. The idea would be to re-paint one or more of the Vallejo Police Department's cars to feature a scantily clad woman and the admonition to "Go Vegan!"
Citing Vallejo's financial troubles and offering to help balance the department's budget, the letter from PETA Executive VP Tracy Reiman argues:
Our ad would help bolster the budget while delivering a real public service: a message to Vallejo residents that they can protect their own well-being, as well as the environment and animals, by switching to a vegan diet.
PETA offered cash to save one of California's state parks threatened by Governor Arnold Schwarzenneger's proposed closure, but only if the park was renamed "Sea Kitten State Park" in the hopes of convincing beachgoers that fish are cute and not just delicious.
The organization has yet to receive a response from Chief Nichelini or the Department, and while it seems unlikely, the department has embraced new ideas on how to save money such as outsourcing the typing of the police report.
But with a blog and a copy of Photoshop, PETA has already made a pretty funny point.
Reno 911?
But plants are part of the environment and if you eat plants you are KILLING the environment.
Think I'm joking? Ask environmentalist wackos why we can't cut down parts of the forest (harvesting a crop of trees).
Cuter than Helen Thomas...
sorry, nope. Not their jurisdiction. They are only against eating animals and have no problem if all the rainforests are cut down.
“Our ad would help bolster the budget while delivering a real public service: a message to Vallejo residents that they can protect their own well-being, as well as the environment and animals, by switching to a vegan diet.”
they also like porn for some reason. Maybe because vegan men don’t have a chance with real women.
I don’t like PETA, but I find these sponsorhip stunts amusing and quite clever.
I think we should take a page from their book and offer to name an inner city school (preferrably one named after Obama or some other lefty) after Clarence Thomas.
Vallejo has enough problems.
they are broke..have a high crime problem, and don’t need harrassment from PETA.
. . . in the hopes of convincing beachgoers that fish are cute and not just delicious.
Those people don't get around much, do they?
Isn't he just adorable?
Or there's this darling little guy...
