Regarding PETA being up in arms over lobsters, that one popped my irony meter.
You see, it hasn't been that long since PETA served lobster at a large regional dinner (maybe national?)
One of my mother's idiot cousins was a Kool-Aid drinking PETA member back in the day, which always struck my mother as odd since the woman was married to a tournament bass fisherman. He was in no danger of getting rich at it, mind you, but he still made money dragging poor, defenseless fish out of the water.
