I Hate P.E.T.A. Part2: The Kentucky Derby
A week or so ago I created a video called PETA Sticker Madness which described my hatred of one of their campaigns. The sticker said “If you wear fur….watch your back”. My thoughts on that sticker were that they could shove it up their asses.
Well, just when I thought I wouldn’t hear about PETA for awhile they are in the news again. You may have heard that Eight Belles, the horse that took second place in last week’s Kentucky Derby, had to be euthenized after the race due to two broken ankles. Well PETA has now stepped in with lawsuits demanding all sorts of crazy crap and they claim that horse racing is akin to dog fighting. They say a lot of stupid shit on their blog. I would post a link to PETA’s blog but I don’t want to give those asshats any traffic so instead read some of the snippets via a blog I just found called “Curveballs For Jesus” (this blog is pretty damned good and you should bookmark it).
Anyway…here is a video of my thoughts on PETA getting involved with the Kentucky Derby.

Do you think that PETA has a casting couch and the potential volunteers for this kind of campaign (I’d rather be naked…) have to show that they remove all of their own fur? Would they consider that to be barbaric? Don’t they see the hypocrisy of telling others what they should and shouldn’t do when they would bristle (so to speak) at being told how to live their own lives?
On another note, I think you should start an “Ask Fitz” section for questions like the above. Many times a day I have questions like this take up space in my brain and there’s no one to ask. I know you would have great insight to offer…….
Finally, and I apologize for rambling, great Southie imitation yesterday - it made me laugh (did you have a bit part in Mystic River?) and great announcer today. If this blog thing falls through I think you have a future in stand up.
juliemccoy recently scribbled the following on their toilet (I mean blog)..Profile Tips for Men~
Julie - THAT is an INCREDIBLE IDEA! The ‘ask fitz’ page will be up within two hours or you get your money back!
As for PETA, I would love to think that they have a casting couch. I would also love to think that in an ironic twist of fate they ordered a ‘pleather’ couch but accidentally were delivered a genuine leather one.
They definitely do NOT see their own hypocrisy. If they did I think they would have all committed suicide by now. Let’s hope that happens soon.
PETA members make me sick. They’re like vegans that eat meat, which if I have to explain the hypocrisy, evil, and general stupidity of a vegan…well I shouldn’t; I’m sure you know Fritz. No human being can exist without consuming (killing), no organism at all can exist without killing (or contributing to it in some form) if you want to generalize. Being a member of PETA is like being an existentialist, you’re a hypocrite no matter what (nothing against existentialism actually…haha), so unless you’re dead, you’re contributing to the problem.
-Three weeks later- “Breaking News! After reading a random blog post and subsequent comments on toiletscrible.com seven radical PETA members take their own lives in protest. More at 11!” *shudders*…that wouldn’t surprise me all that much…
Carl,
I agree with every word you typed. I should do a video on Vegans. They are quite comical. And if that ‘Breaking News’ item happens I am taking you out for a drink. First round is on you.
Peace!
