"Cheese eating PETA monkeys"

So some kids in France are urging PETA to have BME shut down. Heh… Somehow, I just don't see PETA coming after me. Yeah, let's have a vegan civil war to determine the true believers. You don't eat anything that farts? Yeah, well I don't eat anything that casts a shadow. Level 5 baby.

Anyway.

The funny thing is they all keep sending me the same message (and minor derivations) over and over again, instead of writing their own, and in their forum talk about flooding my inbox with their messages — they seem to think their 20 messages that are all identical are somehow a larger problem than the 90,000 spams I receive per day (seriously, that's what I'm up to now):

Thanks for your very interesting websites that I like watch because we learn a lot about BM
But like some other people we've find some pictures of piercing on animals
For the piercing we have to be voluntary and not an obligation.
So it will be finding to put out this picture and don't support this kind of piercing anymore

Here's a hint to others considering potential letter writing campaigns: form letters tend to make your target believe that your advocates really don't feel that strongly about it! Also, yelling at the messenger is plain silly, and calling for the messenger to be censored is plain foolish. If you don't like piercings on animals, urge your local government to institute a vegan agenda. Yelling at me isn't going to help.

If one thing about the politically correct left annoys me, it's their incessant drive to ban anything that hurts their feelings. They don't realize that when they take this stance they're no better than Bible-Belt oppressors. Living free means putting up with your neighbor being an ass.

PS. The amusing side note is that the forum that they're using to have this discussion sells t-shirts of pierced cartoon animals to support the forum. I guess that shirts that say “pierced animals are cute and funny” is better than an article that actually talks about the issues for real.

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
