Fun fact of the day

[unixronin]

PETA has approximately two million members.

PETA's ludicrous "sea kitten" campaign has attracted ... wait for it ... 6250 signatures.

That's a fraction over 0.3% of their own membership.

EPIC FAIL.

(Note:  This screencap is actually from seakittens.org, which PETA doesn't actually own.  Someone else registered it first, put the PETA "sea-kitten" site in a frame, and proceeded to have fun with it.  The Omaha Steaks banner ad, for instance.)

Colbert's segment on this (landfish) was epically funny... 1:30 in this clip:
