Will Britney Spears Work for PETA?

Filed under: green and famous — parrish @ 12:42 pm

I know, I know — we’ve been pulling your leg a lot today, but this story is for real.

Britney Spears has officially been offered a job working with the People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals. That’s right, PETA was so inspired by Spears’ recent secretary gig on How I Met Your Mother, that they’ve offered her a real job working as a receptionist in their office. 

PETA’s president, Ingrid Newkirk writes, “After seeing your excellent performance on How I Met Your Mother, PETA would like to offer you a real job as a receptionist. It could be for as little as an hour, and you would see - from the inside - why we are so concerned about issues like fur and homeless dogs and cats. As a ‘thank you’ for your willingness to learn and help, we would donate $1,000 to a children’s charity.”

Well Britney…how fast can you type?

PETA Files Motion To Change Name After Mediterranean Take-Out Debacle

Filed under: green and famous — parrish @ 9:52 am

Earlier this morning, The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, most commonly known as PETA, filed a request to legally change their name after an embarrassing Mediterranean take-out debacle.  

On March 15th the organization held a lunch for some of its most prominent members, catered by local vegan Mediterranean restaurant, Niko’s Soy Kashkaval Kitchen. PETA’s President Ingrid Newkirk explains, “The order was SUPPOSE to be 5 tubs of hummus, 3 tubs of baba ganoush, 2 rounds of seitan lamb, 5 pounds of soy-feta stuffed olives and enough pita for everyone.” However, due to a language barrier, the chef at Niko’s heard, “5 pounds of soy feta stuffed olives — enough for everyone at PETA.”  Needless to say, when the food arrived there was not a single slice of pita bread to be found.  “It was awful”, says Newkirk. “Our guests had nothing to dip their hummus in, and were even forced to eat the baba ganoush with their hands. We decided then and there that enough is enough. It’s time for a change.”

PETA is requesting the new name of, Folks Utterly Condemning Killing Others For Food. Newkirk declares, “We’ve really thought this one through and can’t possibly see how anyone could come up with a silly acronym for that!” Stay tuned to Ecorazzi for more news as this story develops.

It’s worth noting that today is April 1st.
