I love the idea. The name isn't so great, though. If you pronounce it, it sounds like an STD.
"Dude, don't **** her, she gave me PABS!"
"The test results are back. I'm sorry, sir, you have PABS."
"Oh God, my PABS is flaring up again!"
This girl in my science class is part of PETA. She went around putting up posters that said something along the lines of skip school to save frogs or some other ********. Me and my friends then went around ripping down these posters and putting up ones that said:
People
Eating
Tasty
Animals
a. That the “meat” of my body, or a portion thereof, be used for a human barbecue, to remind the world that the meat of a corpse is all flesh, regardless of whether it comes from a human being or another animal, and that flesh foods are not needed;
b. That my skin, or a portion thereof, be removed and made into leather products, such as purses, to remind the world that human skin and the skin of other animals is the same and that neither is “fabric” nor needed, and that some skin be tacked up outside the Indian Leather Fair each year to serve as a reminder of the government’s need to abate the suffering of Indian bullocks who, after a life of extreme and involuntary servitude, as I have seen firsthand, are exported all over the world in this form;
c. That in remembrance of the elephant-foot umbrella stands and tiger rugs I saw, as a child, offered for sale by merchants at Connaught Place in Delhi, my feet be removed and umbrella stands or other ornamentation be made from them, as a reminder of the depravity of killing innocent animals, such as elephants, in order that we might use their body parts for household items and decorations;
d. That one of my eyes be removed, mounted, and delivered to the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a reminder that PETA will continue to be watching the agency until it stops poisoning and torturing animals in useless and cruel experiments; that the other is to be used as PETA sees fit;
e. That my pointing finger be delivered to Kenneth Feld, owner of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, or to a circus museum to stand as the “Greatest Accusation on Earth” on behalf of the countless elephants, lions, tigers, bears, and other animals who have been kidnapped from their families and removed from their homelands in India, Thailand, Africa, and South America and deprived of all that is natural and pleasant to them, abused, and forced into involuntary servitude for the sake of cheap entertainment;
f. That my liver be vacuum-packed and shipped, in whole or in part, to France, to there be used in a public appeal to persuade shoppers not to support the vile practice of force-feeding geese and ducks for foie gras;
g. That one of my ears be removed, mounted, and sent to the Canadian Parliament to assist them in hearing, for the first time perhaps, the screams of the seals, bears, raccoons, foxes, and minks bludgeoned, trapped, and sometimes skinned alive for their pelts; that the other ear be removed, preserved, and displayed outside the Deonar abattoir in Mumbai to remind all who do business there that the screams of the cattle who are slaughtered within its walls are heard around the world;
h. That one of my thumbs be removed, mounted upwards on a plaque, and sent to the person or institution that, in the year of my death or thereabouts, PETA decides has done the most to promote alternatives to the use and abuse of animals in any area of their exploitation;
i. That one of my thumbs be mounted in a downward position and sent to the person or institution that, in the year of my death or thereabouts, has gone against the changing tide of societal opinion and frightened and hurt animals in some egregious manner;
j. That a little part of my heart be buried near the racetrack at Hockenheim, preferably near the Ferrari pits, where Michael Shumacher raced in and won the German Grand Prix;
k. That anything else be done with my body that PETA believes will serve to draw attention to and so abate the plight of exploited animals.
That can be arranged.

and other religious cults that scam and brainwash.
So... all religions then?
Good. I think religious is a horrible thing, it defies logic, indoctrinates people and often, damns science whilst reaping the rewards of science.
For example: VenomFangX (we've all heard of him) uses YOUTUBE something that wouldn't be around if it wasn't for the likes of Alan Turing ("invented" the Turing machine), Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the internet) so on so forth. Whilst saying that science is some sort of "EVIL WITCHERY!!" or something.
10p? How much is that?
I'd go and **** around with them. Wear pentagram shirts and question the logic of the bible stories and the such. And get paid for it, too? AWESOME!

I'm glad you have such an open, understanding, and tolerant mind toward religion. I'm sure followers would love your kind words like "religion is a horrible thing" and claiming what they believe defies logic/indoctrinates people, etc.
Anyone who thinks that all religions are the same as cults like Scientology and PETA are themselves no better than the people they are putting down.

Niker, was this the poster?

Edit: Zuriki, my sister has started going to some 'church club', they pay her 10p to listen to a bible story. Yes, this is reaching the point where it is just brainwashing.

Yes they do actually. I have a few Christian, Catholic and Muslim friends. I'm tolerant towards religious people. I don't really care what they believe, it doesn't matter. But religion is indoctrination, and defies logic, there are no two which ways about it. Therefore I have to hate religion.
If you need starter classes, look up thunderf00t and AHughman08 on youtube. You should see from their videos (primarily focusing on creationists) where religion has it's gaping flaws. My particular favorites are the ones from AHughman about the Omnipotence, Omnibenevolence and Omnipresence of God and how it contradicts (therefore is illogic).
E: I think it falls under mutual understanding that, you don't have to believe what I believe - we both have similar morals and good intentions, we are both kind and considerate of other peoples feelings and we both enjoy each-other's company. Though our personal beliefs may be conflicting it doesn't have to (and actually doesn't) get in the way of our friendship.
So yes, what I say is inflammatory but that doesn't mean I am rude jackass about it to religious followers.

A lot of religion does defy logic and indoctrinate people. Granted, on the second point, it's largely the peoples' faults for letting themselves become indoctrinated.
For the first point, I will cite a very widely-known biblical event, the parting of the Red Sea. God, through Moses, physically separated the waters so that the disciples could cross and escape. I think. Unless you are a very devout follower, you probably think this is a bit far-fetched; It is certainly outside the realm of our logical understandings, as there was no known force to actually part the water. If you are so dedicated to the faith that you believe this without doubt, then congratulations, you have most likely been indoctrinated.
I don't hate religion like Zuriki does, but there's no good reason to place some of its teachings above what we know to be true. Far be it from any man to cut a sea in half.
EDIT: Ninja'd by someone with the same general opinion. I hate when that happens.

You're still making a huge generalization about religion, though. Show me where Catholicism has some totally illogical belief like "Everything that exists doesn't exist" and where they force people to belief it.
Also, on the subject of proving creationists wrong, lol. I love watching videos like that. What I don't love is "radical Fundamentalist Creationist Christians are silly and wrong, therefore all Christians are silly and wrong" as I see implied so often. Or maybe I'm just slightly paranoid, I dunno.
After The Dark Knight came out, PETA removed Batman from their list of the top ten animal-friendly heroes after he beat up some crazed attack dogs, saying that he should have some sort of doggy-treat dispenser to distract them instead.
Unfortunately, it doesn't really make sense to anyone watching the invisible monkey commercial unless they know the background of it. But I'm sure PETA got the message.
I don't even understand why they would bother with such a trivial thing. I wonder if they realize how bad their image is simply because of the ****ing retarded fights they pick. And the sea kittens thing.
I can see someone getting behind some of the things PETA backs - using apes as actors seems a bit iffy to me, honestly - but PETA needs to stop resorting to insulting and demeaning tactics to get their messages across. You don't win hearts and minds by throwing buckets of fake blood at people.

This is the original Dodge commercial, monkey and all.
And this is after PETA complained about it, where Dodge decides to give them the metaphorical finger.
Miraculously, nobody cared.
