4 Hilarious, Offensive, or Downright Disgusting PETA Projects

Anybody who knows me knows I hate PETA. I mean really hate PETA. As in , I don’t think I’ve ever hated anything more in my life. There’s a lot of reasons why; probably too many to list. Although if you read Ingrid Newkirk’s will on the PETA website, you’d know she’s a psycho, which is just one of the many things I hate about PETA.

Anywho, here are of PETA’s truly despicable shock value ads/demonstrations.

10 of History's Worst Maritime Disasters

I don’t really like ships that much. I mean, I think they’re kinda cool, but ever since I saw Titanic, I don’t think I’ll be getting on anything bigger than a small boat anytime soon. Pretty much ever since ships have been around, they’ve been sinking. This is a list of the top ten deadliest shipwrecks (so far). Although, I guess that isn’t really true, because I only included disasters that happened during peacetime, otherwise the list would include the Spanish Armada and the Sultana.

8 Olympic Tragedies

Last week, the Vancouver Olympic Games started, but was immediately turned sad, when we all learned about the death of a Georgian luger just a few hours before the opening ceremony.  So far, only two deaths have occured during official competition (both during summer games), but there have been many tragedies at other times during the games.

The Origins of Six Rock Band Names

This took a lot more research than I thought it would.  I've always wondered how a band decides what to call themselves.  If I had a band, I think I would go the R.E.M route.
