A controversial new public relations campaign by animal-rights group PETA proclaims Jesus Christ to have been a vegetarian, and portrays the Last Supper complete with 12 "disciples" including Beatle Paul McCartney and lesbian country-music singer k.d. lang as a spectacle meant to inspire mankind to forsake eating meat.
The outreach has been built into a 28-foot 1955 Silver Streak Airstream trailer wherein the "Last Supper" is re-created, surrounding Jesus with famous vegetarians, officials of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals told WND.
Dallas artist Greg Metz's work first was displayed in his hometown, then in Columbia, S.C., and now is headed for Norfolk, Va., according to campaign coordinator Mike Brazell.
"From all the demonstrations, this one has been the most successful in getting people to go vegetarian," he told WND. "People are visibly moved by the display itself."
"I've had people telling me they're going to be re-evaluating their food choices and lives after seeing the display," he said.
The organization's "PETA Girl," whose antics over the years have included appearing naked with a sign that she'd rather be nude that wear fur, for this event was Eva Carpinelli from Milano, Italy.
The vegetarian "disciples" represented in the "Last Supper" include the famed Louisa May Alcott, Kafka, George Bernard Shaw, Cesar Chavez, Susan B. Anthony, Jesus, Alec Walker, Paul McCartney, k.d. lang, Gandhi, Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci, officials said.
On the other side of the trailer are graphic images of animal slaughterhouses, and available at the trailer will be screenings of PETA's movie, "Meet Your Meat," narrated by Alec Baldwin.

I think the ancient Maccabeans attacked the city of Tofuti in between plagues 6 & 7...then they started BEGATTING folks...and it all got blamed on Cain....who started the tribe of the McCains who wandered around the dessert until their bus was repaired and they cancelled their booking at the Hanoi Hilton.
Last time I checked he ate fish. Peta needs to get a life like many of people who are members of peta are christian.
What idiots, everybody knows it was Jerry Garcia and Merle Haggard
They wandered around the dessert? What kind of deesert was it, apple pie? :)
I dunno, something about the eyes.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
This is hilarious. Like another poster mentioned, they wouldn't dare doing this with Mohummad. You know why? One, the Muslims are a coveted minority at this point. Two, the Muslims would go ballistic.
First of all, this is a ploy aimed at Christians, but the Lord supported eating meat and fish. Seconkly, how many of these PETA people are atheists or anti-Christian liberals? I would imagine most. Finally, certain members of the painting are people who don't agree with Jesus teaching as the disciples did (except Judas). They have that pro-abort Alec Baldwin narrating. The funny thing, Alec Baldwin is a Rat who is listed as a supporter of NARAL.
Yeah, I bet Baldwin can't even see his meat, let alone meet it.
I'm thinking something with LOTS of whipped topping.....to suit the "atmoshpere" of the event.
[my original post was SATIRICAL....and I purposely misspelled that word just to see if anyone would notice....thanks]
And I just noticed that I typo'd the word dessert....but I got your point lol.
Second thread today where I find out that people are having their sick fun with this historical event. Even if Jesus weren't the Messiah, and even if there wasn't a religion of almost 2 billion people worshipping Him, this is still a painting of a young man telling His close friends that one of them will betray Him and He will be tortured to death. Anyone who thinks that's fodder for an ad campaign is one sick piece of work.
Could tofu have been included under the umbrella of "blessed are the cheesemakers?"
good one...!!!
They are vegetarians. They really mess up a lot of hotels & such on their holy days by sacrificing yams in the shower, then serving them with boiled lambs-quarters, and garnished with fried caramel.
I know revisionist infidels try to claim that is rams, quatered lambs, and camels, but PETA knows the truth.
As long as it wasn't a bacon-cheeseburger.
...actually...
If I'm not mistaken,
"tofu" originates from the ancient Aramaic...
"tutti-frutti-o-rutti"....which means "lousy hunter".....!!!
Thank you, thank you, you're a great crowd! I'm here all week, try the veal!
"They really mess up a lot of hotels & such on their holy days by sacrificing yams in the shower, then serving them with boiled lambs-quarters, and garnished with fried caramel."
All right...that DOES it...!!!
Explain [in detail]
A. just exactly HOW those lambs GOT those quarters.
B. would that be a bactrian caramel or dromedary.
A mix of the two, I'd bet. One thing they're betting on is Biblical illiteracy. Most people, even those who call themselves Christians, see Him as some amorphous symbol of good, so if you have Jesus endorse your cause there are lots of suckers who will just buy into it. Plus, there are always those who think the Bible is the last place you'd find any information about Jesus.
LOL!
Do you think Al Gore is using a calorie offset program? Like, there's some Tennesseean who's eating a piece of celery a day and nothing else so Gore can weigh a quarter ton?
