Remember when I said the land just west of the iconic "Hollywood" sign was for sale? And then joked about interesting advertising opportunities?

Yeah, I wasn't too far off ...

PETA officials said they want to erect a large sign of their own to the west of the famed landmark that would spell out "Go Veg" in 45-foot-high letters.

Heh. They said "erect."

The eons of time and nature was good to us down here. It was not until we become civilized that destroying our habitat become fathomable or fashionable.

Unlikely...

...they can't afford to actually buy the property, the just wanna rent it until a permanent buyer is found. And if the owner really did want to rent it out, then I think there are plenty of other interests with much deeper pockets than PETA.

Still, it would be cool. They'd probably get alot of media hype from such a thing.

We eat meat - get used to it

Thanks PETA. But what do we do in the rest of the real world? In Africa eating meat is part of the culture (I am from there). People don't look down at vegetarians, but we get the feeling that we can't be green and eat meat? But we eat meat and will be green - more on this in my blog at http://angryafrican.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/we-eat-meat- ...

we've BEEN used to it!

So why are YOU angry, Angry African? You have had it your way for quite a long time now, haven't you.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.
