Oh jeez, you mean to tell me PETA's miffed at Obama cuz he swatted a fly? Read all about this craziness here.
.
Listen , PETA. I'm trying to take you guys seriously. So let's get a couple things straight about flies. They ain't endangered. They'll be around long after we humans have nuked ourselves into extinction. They're filthy little boogers. And the first thing they do when they land on you is puke on your skin.
.
I worked with a girl once who felt this way about insects. If she came across one in the lab, she'd scoop it up and carefully carry it outside. And of course, the Hare Krishnas (are they even around anymore?) hold that all life is sacred. I've seen them do the same when they used to have a temple in Tempe. But normal people know the only good bug is a dead bug.
.
So get real, PETA. I'm all for you protecting Thumper from getting his eyes poked out at a Mary Kay Cosmetics Testing Lab. But insects don't merit any compassion. If God didn't want us to kill 'em, He wouldn't have invented fly swatters.

This was seriously the silliest news story I've heard in awhile. I've never been able to take PETA seriously. If they want to do any real good, they need to not pull stupid stunts like this.
PETA and the Sierra Club - two organizations dedicated to wonderful premises, who somehow manage to promote those premises in the worst way possible.
