PETA vs. 2010 Vancouver Olympics

Fuck. This is twisted.

PETA is riding on the 2010 Vancouver Olympics' publicity to demand an end to Canadian seal hunting. PETA spoofed the Olympic mascots into a pack of blood thirsty hooligans. I understand what they are trying to do, but is cute satirical cartoon characters really the most effective way to end the unjustice of inhumane hunting practices? Seriously, Badtz-Maru looks more pissed off than the three evil mascots put together. Their website left my jaw hanging. I personally found the site tasteless and unavailing. It left me feeling that this particular PETA committee had so much fun mocking the Olympics that they missed their own agenda of animal rights. Features include:

* Printable COLORING PAGES of murderous Quatchi, bloody wing tipped Sumi, and a zombie-like Miga.
* Clip of evil mascot trio chasing down a baby seal and then standing over the oozing carcass.
* Hockey stick wielding Olympic logo that whacks on a seal when you roll the cursor on the image.
* A link tab titled "More Fun!" to access e-cards, protest photos, stickers, and Kid's Corner.


For people who love animals, they sure spent a lot of time and energy generating violent images. The shock value is suppose to get my attention enough to support their cause. But I am just plain shocked.
