There is hope, even the PETA kooks have a sense of humor.

...but in order to be “diversity compliant”, don’t they need to add a beige color skinned potato as well? Just for “diversity” sakes? Or is it enough to have a “potato of color” as the main logo only?

PETA should change their name to Potato heads for the Ethical Treatment of Apples.

Or a bean

I'm a member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Vegetables, and I resent both the "potato" idea and your "bean" idea.

Vegetables have feelings too !

Why not? They’re playing like a bunch of couch potatoes. The team’s been under a curse ever since Dan Snyder took ownership.

Okay, but only as long as the tater has sour cream and bacon bits.

Thanks Zakeet.

There is an utter surfeit of loonies walking around these days.

For some reason, many of them are drawn to PETA.
