COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- The animal rights group PETA is offering to help the cash-strapped city of Colorado Springs by paying to put trash cans back in parks - on one condition.

The cans have to carry an anti-meat slogan and a picture of a woman in a lettuce bikini.

The city stopped picking up trash in parks to save money, and all the trash cans have been removed.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals told city officials Wednesday they'd pay for new trash cans saying "Meat Trashes the Planet" and "Go Vegan." The cans also have PETA's logo and the lettuce-clad model.

Aren’t humans made out of meat ourselves?

I have a better idea Colorado Springs, I’ll personally pay to replace the containers and service them for free if you allow me to put my political slogan “stop creeping socialism.....vote Republican or Libertarian.”

I would agree to this if they pay for the removal of the trash as well.
This should be good for any business/orginization that wants advertisement on the cans.

Sold! Frankly I don't care who advertises on the trash cans so long as they are serviced. The PETA message may be annoying but the half naked hot chick is OK with me.

How appropriate, trashcans for PETA.

I just don’t get PETA’s logic.

Animals eat animals.

What is their ultimate goal? To kill all the meat-eating predators? Retrain them?

As I see it - the only solution to end PETA’s pain is human cannibalism, followed by feeding leftovers to rows of Venus fly traps.

Yes — very confusing to the aliens who have been probing us.

This lettuce girl is either not a PETA protestor. Or she failed to get the memo.

I’ll say one thing, the marketing guru at PETA certainly knows how to get their message out there.

Of course, some might just say they are attention whores.

I was thinking McDonald’s wrappers but the point is the same. Maybe even toss in some road kill to drive it home ...

doesn’t the city’s allowing peta to post their message in city parks tantamount to an endorsement?
