Literally the only thing most people know about PETA is their extremism. Hell, the only thing I know about them is their extremism.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

They also gas kittens and puppies after promising to give them a good home. Because they hate pet owners more than they hate actually killing animals. I wish I was kidding.

Usually all I know about them is that they make sure no animals were harmed in the making of this film.

They kill like 96% of the animals they "rescue" and they've shared members, goals, and helped with funding things like legal defenses for the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front who are actual homegrown terrorists, they should all make like their whackjob founder and sterilize themselves.

Sterilize themselves like Kurt Cobain, one hopes.

Hey, I won't argue.

Controversial idea: Hollywood talent scouts are Kyuubi.

Young women show up, get offered these amazing abilities, go see things they couldn't have before, do things they couldn't do, but it kinda distances themselves from the lives they lived before.

Then, after enough time they inevitably start getting offered roles as witches.

Unpopular opinion: Celebrities are normal people too, living to the best of their abilities in a life incredibly far removed from anything any of us have known or are likely to know. But nobody buys "Celebrity walks puppy, tries to live up to spouse's expectations, has children to raise while living under 24/7 intense media scrutiny" so we manufacture controversy and make mountains out of molehills regarding people that ultimately aren't important.

Could you imagine your family name becoming slang for "vapid, brainless media whore?" Have you seen any of them off-camera? Had a conversation with one of them? Or are you basing your opinion of another person off a media personality that's had a dozen producer's and editor's hands on it?

Or the "cash me ousside" girl. I'll admit I didn't watch the whole program, but the clips I've seen look like she comes from an incredibly dysfuctional family which can lead to all sorts of outbursts, poor behavior, poor performance in school, etc. I know because it's happened to all friends of mine who came from dysfunctional backgrounds. All I hear anytime she's brought up is "lol what a stupid hood rat attention whore bitch" because she became a Facebook meme that people dislike.

Though I will say that it is funny that in many ways the "Celebrities are people too!" kind of BOTH ways huh?

I mean... it isn't like Celebrities try to use the fact that they are celebrities to their advantage huh?

Can't have it both ways!

That isn't a sentence.

You mean, they use their fame and money to live a satisfying life? Funnily enough, I do that too! Just on a lesser scale, because, you know, less of those things.

You cannot use that clout and then disown it at the same time.

That is why it doesn't apply when you do it, because you are at such a lesser scale that it doesn't affect your standing.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/PETA
Quote
At the height of the Satanic panic in the late 1980s, PETA's newsletter reported (as fact) rumors that pets were being stolen by Satanists for animal sacrifice and "crucifixion" at Halloween.  PETA suggested that people keep their black cats inside around Halloween to protect them from Satanists.[34] They still maintain a "Halloween advisory" on their website, omitting any mention of Satanism or animal sacrifice, yet noting with approval that many shelters refuse to adopt out black cats during October.[35]

I will just mention that I (personally) know some individuals that would deal in small animals. Black chickens, goats, and a few other kinds of animals would bring a premium in certain markets... Particularly if sold directly to certain very spooky individuals.
