Oh boy, PETA is growling about something stupid again. The anti-meat, anti-fur, anti-animal testing crusaders are mad. And, this time they're ticked on a Presidential level, actually, a Vice Presidential level.
PETA is mad that United States Vice President, Joe Biden, stopped by The Colbert Report to show support for American servicemen and women... with hotdogs.
"You can't expect the troops to be lean, mean fighting machines if you're stuffing them with fattening, artery-clogging meat, eggs, and dairy products every day," said PETA Executive Vice President, Tracy Reiman, in a very, very crazy statement.
PETA also sent Joe Biden a letter expressing the group's disappointment, and suggested next time he should pass out veggie dogs.
Sorry PETA, hotdogs are gross and unhealthy, and probably made with cow feet, but veggie dogs are nasty too; processed junk loaded with sodium.
Here's what PETA is up in paws - err, arms - about, Joe Biden fulfilling the other of his two Vice Presidential responsibilities. "Giving hotdogs to returning warriors," said Mr. Vice President. That day, Stephen Colbert was saluting American troops returning from Iraq who were in the studio enjoying free beer and real grass under their feet.
When the news broke about PETA's outrage and their suggestion that Joe Biden hand out veggie dogs and vegan food instead, Stephen Colbert fired back, mocking PETA with kitten pie and calling them "PUTA."
PETA is a little kooky, okay, a lot kooky. I don't eat meat, and yes, world health would be much better off if we all ate more fruits and vegetables and less meat, but nitpicking a goofy sketch on a fake news show is just plain silly. If PETA ever wants to be taken seriously, this is hardly the way to do it. Fail.
