What should I change my name to, I know , I know. How about, "Miss Universe." ;) :D

Seriously that name sounds cool, its not like he cannot change his name another billion times, if he wants to pay for it, who is the gov't and the private citizen to stop him from doing so.

In the end he is doing it for a cause, how successful he is depends on how long the novelty name lasts. What would his parents do if they found out....:eek:

KFC.com: this is my parents "peta,org."

peta.org: his Mr and Mrs KFC.com.

Mr(s): Stop! right there miss peta.org, we are not Mr and Mrs KFC.com we are Mr and Mrs Jones. Our son is an idiot and we can tell you are one too. ;)
 
Im all for animal rites, but i also understand that some thing taste freaken awesome and and made to be eaten. This is what i dont understand about super animal rites activists. It is soo easy for them to attack little old ladies who wear fur coats and leather, pouring buckets of paint on them and what not. Whens the last time you saw some one from PITA run into a bar and pour paint over a leather clad biker ? Seems a little inconsistent if you ask me. :D :rolleyes: :p

I wonder how long until he changes his name back?


How long did it take that guy in Texas to change his name back after doing the live off the internet and never leave the house thing?

That may have to wait until he comes to his senses and realizes that he should have gone with "Sugar Frosted Flakes ... "They'rrrre GR-R-REAT.com!"

A true story:

A neighbor took down an old cottonwood (we think) tree (very unusual for our area, anyway) and they were splitting it up for firewood. A family friend, who is a sculptor, cried out that the wood was so good for carving, why were we letting them waste it -- so I hitched up a trailer to the car and rescued a ton (literally) of the trunk. Almost killed myself, moving and loading 200 and 300 lb rounds of wood.

So the sculptor has his wood, and a year later, at Christmas he comes over and with a great flourish unveils a 3 foot long carving. Now, this tree was quite amazing, it had a chocolate brown heartwood, and a cream coloured outer, and the sculptor had exploited this to carve a sea scene, with creamy waves, and a dark brown Orca arcing out of the water. Quite stunning.

The only thing is, he also carved a couple of seals, fleeing in panic from the killer whale, and the orca in the process of munching down on one of them....

:(

We thanked him profusely. The carving is displayed prominently and safely now in our back closet...



Thanks for the laugh. :)

But on topic, I can't understand the revulsion and ridicule at this act. Let the guy do what he wants... if he tires of it, then he can always change it again. After all, it's only a name... no big deal.

Although I'm not personally fully supportive of his cause, I'm with thedude110 on this one.

Besides, everybody around him will probably just call him 'Ken' anyway.
 
That domain name aka his name has been registered since 1992! interesting
 
Doh couldn't he have just gone for the tattoo? Either way he'll regret this decision when he's older. I mean hell I'm a vegetarian and I think this guys out to lunch...then again I think most of peta is.
 
this is nothing, there was a chap in England sometime ago who changed his name to something along the lines of Natwest Bank are Fascist bastards and then complained that they wouldn't update the details on his account.

Evidently this person isn't too worried about how he functions in the real world.

It is any more humane to raise the animal in a paradise, then chop their heads off and chop them to bits so we can eat them?

I never understood why people would care how an animal was raised if they were still willing to eat their flesh.
Because happy cows taste nicer?

...and no. I'm not joking. I like eating meat but I do give a **** how it lived and how it died.

WTF?
that's the thing peta is trying to prevent.

oh.. upon further inspection, those are humans, not chickens. Carry on!
 
see i try to refrain from using hetro or homo or whatever... but IF you insist then he can either be a hetro or a pretty little homo ... but i dont need the lecture (points to that the gayway post) anyhoo, that just odd with the name but if that what makes him happy i guess its all good?

Thats right, just draw attention to yourself from the CIA, FBI, etc... :eek: ;)

So if you are missing from now on, we know where you are. ;)

I believe he is referring to PETA as a terrorist group. Based on their actions and motives, they most certainly fit the definition of "terrorists".
