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".
I think it's more in reference to other groups that are involved with PETA, like the Animal Liberation Front. Of course, PETA does some pretty stupid things as well. Like dumping paint on baby snow seals so their fur is worthless. Not just to people making coats, but the seals themselves. It's hard to stay camouflaged in snow when your fur is bright red. Dumbasses :mad:

If its bright red, it only makes them a prime target for polar bears, artic foxes, etc...

Stupid indeed. :rolleyes:

Thats 100% exactly what I was referencing. They not only give money to the ALF but they publicly condone the ALF's use of violence. PETA should have their non-profit status revoked.

Not to mention, all those animals they "save" from the shelters? PETA kills them. So wtf is the point?
 
I just watched a particular episode of 'Family Guy' and consequently thought it said Vagina.

As in "Hahahaha! Hey, what's your wife's name? Vagina Coast Guard?"

Because he's talking to Dick Armey. Get it?

...nevermind.
 
ALF - Lord, what a joke...they're not even good at being terrorists.:rolleyes:

I think this kind of "activism" requires less courage than a nearly total detachment from reality. But that's just me. :)
 
Aagh, his driver's license is positioned in the style the Commonwealth of VA uses for the underaged. Wanna bet that by the time he's ready to have the license that is the one for those in their majority that he will have already thought better of the name change and will have reverted back to whatever his given name is?

OTB

I wonder if I could get into namesquatting, legally changing my name and the names of my family members to desirable ones and then suing people who try to "use" my name without my permission.

I'm already squatting Henri Gaudier but the bastard never pays up!
 
This is the best one I've seen recently, and a completely reasonable response from a Yorkshireman ;)
After being charged £20 for a £10 overdraft, 30 year old Michael Howard of Leeds changed his name by deed poll to Yorkshire Bank PLC Are Fascist Bastards. The bank has now asked him to close his account, and Mr. Bastards has asked them to repay the 69p balance, by cheque, made out in his new name. (The Guardian)
and a link to a load of other daft names.

Tough crowd.

Not only is the kid courageous and insouciant, but he's going to get a ton of publciity for his cause, too.

If I were his father, I'd be proud.


*puts on flame retardant suit*

I'd say that there are better ways to handle this than a rather obvious publicity stunt. This is just screaming, "LOOK AT ME I BELIEVE IN SOMETHING AND I WANT YOU BASTARDS TO LOOK AT WHAT I BELIEVE IN!!!!"

I've hated PETA for a while... they respect people less than animals. At least keep them at an equal balance, but some of the stuff they say makes me wonder why they don't kill themselves to make food for animals.

The people that bug me when I buy eggs ("I can't believe you EAT those! Do you know what they are?") get my answer of: "That water you drink was animal piss a few hundred years ago. I think you should respect the animals by not drinking that water anymore."
:mad:
I'm against people doing stupid things. This is a stupid thing. There are better ways of handling this.

Maybe MGM Studios would like to talk about your name, then, eh?
 
I'm very glad that there is an entire three-page thread and growing about how lame this is, as that is entirely logical.

How is this different than naming a child after someone from the bible? Their beliefs, his beliefs. All the same thing.

Isn't this the same as everyone in the public eye? The person in the story probably didn't have the same advertising budget as the Meat Marketing Board or Smith Glaxo Klein and had to raise awareness in the time honoured way via a publicity stunt. It's less offensive than Bloomberg throwing tens of millions of dollars at the New York mayoral elections! All advertising, political campaigning is ..

Many features of a computer are underutilized by the owners, but to ask the definition of a word when there are dictionaries and Google waiting at one's command ... what next? Mitthrawnuruodo, you should be a paid consultant here. :)

I hate those political ads. "I did this great stuff!" next commercial: "He did these horrible things!" next: "I didn't do those horrible things!"

They are even more mind-numbing that the latest Carls Jr. commercials. :eek:
