PETA Wants Ben & Jerry's to Use Breast Milk in Ice Cream

I hate to beat a dead horse but I am so sick of PETA that I could scream.

Listen, I am 100% in favor of treating animals ethically, but I believe PETA should extend that courtesy to humans as well. Unfortunately, they continue to behave in poor taste.

I have made my distaste for PETA and their advertising campaigns know here before. Now they have once again crossed the line into the detestable.

What did they do this time?

PETA asked Ben & Jerry's to use breast milk in their ice cream.

Oh, PETA, you think you are so fucking clever. Let's say you get what you want - are you going to go out and supports Ben & Jerry's and EAT the breast milk ice cream?

I doubt it.

I understand what they are trying to say. They are saying that cow's milk is bad for you and inhumane and all of that jazz but how would human milk help the situation. Ice cream made with human milk is not vegan.  In my opinion this stunt is just stupid.

I agree that breast milk is best - for babies. I also hold that advertising and publicity stunts can be powerful and tasteful at the same time.

This isn't PETA's worst idea yet. Let us not forget Shirley Manson holding the skinned fox. (I won't make you look at it, but if you want to you can see the gore here.) I am not easily offended but PETA manages to just that on a regular basis.

Here is the thing, much like how those assholes in the TRUTH commercials made me want to start smoking again, PETA makes me want to go out and apply for a hunting license. If I have to see any more naked B-list celebrities naked or any more Holocaust on Your Plate garbage I am going to make veal for dinner every night for a week. And I don't even like veal.

Maybe instead I'll just go out and buy a bunch of Ben & Jerry's and treat all the neighborhood kids to an impromptu ice cream party.
