Whole new levels of batshit...
Not wank in the traditional sense, but c'mon. It's PETA. They're wanky all by themselves, often without even trying. Their newest not-so-new campaign? Save the Sea Kittens!

That's right. Sea kittens.

What, you ask, is a sea kitten? Just look at your local fish market, and you can find all sorts of cruelly butchered sea kittens! Trout kittens and sole kittens and cod kittens and haddock kittens.

Yup. This batshit is to make us feel like horrible, horrible people for killing fish by calling them kittens, because what sort of monster would kill and eat a kitten?!

The site really speaks for itself, complete with a form letter to send to your congressperson, a "dress up your kitten" game, and that old PETA standby, the rather graphic, overblown "children's story" that turns animals into neuroscientists (I'm not kidding) and humans into murderers.

Personally, I enjoy my sea kittens battered and fried and served with British chips. Mmm, sea kittens and chips...

Edit: My bad, it's not new to some people.

Okay, I'm feeling really insane because I was thinking they came out with sea kittens months and months ago... but everyone is saying it's new. I'm so confused. I remember people playing that sea kitten game months ago. Seriously, it's making me feel nutty.

It's not new; it just got a new round of publicity.

Thanks, that makes me feel better. I thought that might be it but everybody was running around going "They just started doing this!" and I sort of went "Wait, what? No, they didn't..."

It's not just you -- I not only remember seeing it before, I remember seeing it WANKED before in here too.

So I'm not imagining things.

I know it got mentioned on damn_portlanders too.

It's 'new' because Colbert just did a wave of his finger about it on Thursday or Friday.

In my defense, I don't watch Colbert. :P A friend of mine linked me to it, and it was the first I'd heard of it. I boggled enough I thought I might share it.
