    Quick! Someone inform PETA that advanced display technology poses death threats to our sweet, little and innoncent insectoid friends! This kind of development has to be stopped most immediately!

    Seems to me there is something wrong when a search term lists pages that don't even have the actual word in it.

    Once this comment is spidered, it will work towards PETA coming up when people search for "Donkey" and "rhubarb". If you check the cached version of the GW biography, it will say this at the top.

    As much as I don't like cruelty to animals, I wonder how peta.com'd feel if McDonald's went and sued them over their anti-McDonald's site, including obvious misuse of McDonald's(tm) "Happy Meal"(r) and Ronald McDonald(c) trademark... Sigh.. silly judge... domain-names are for rabbits.

  4. The right and wrong of it... by codefool · · Score: 1 · on Court Orders Owner Of Peta.org To Give Up Domain
    The right of this is that PETA.org was an obvious parody in bad taste to the work of PETA.com, and as such I think that PETA.com has a right to contest the use of an all-too-similar domain name, as people could easily go to PETA.org mistakingly. PETA.org needs to move on to PETA_IS_CRAP.org, or something like that.

    The wrong of this is that the PETA.com site has a McDonald's parody on their home page citing "Unhappy Meals". Interesting...

    Dougheny's statements imply no intention to sell or profit from the site.

    What's wrong with parodies? If they're bad, then why does PETA have this link on their homepage?

    Man, Slashdot has got to do more researching of the stories they post.

    At the very least, offer PETA's press release. They claim that Michael Doughney (peta.org) fraudulently claimed that People Eating Tasty Animals was a non-profit organization, was clearly diluting the PETA trademark and was gaining commercial benefit from such dilution. Not only that, but he also holds many other "parody" websites.

    It's one thing to make light of these guys, but it's another thing to profit from their names - that is very clearly infringement.

  7. Re:great idea by ch-chuck · · Score: 1 · on Cloning of extinct Huia bird approved

    What better way to say "I'm sorry I clobbered your species to keep my wife happy" than to bring them back from extinction, and it would appear to have broad popular appeal, BUT I'm a little skeptical about the ability to find intact DNA after 70+ years of non-optimum storage (in what, formaldahyde, taxidermy?). it's a complex molecule, needless to say - one may be successful but hopelessly disfigured, etc. (not sure how much 'error correction code' DNA uses).

    But then PETA will start griping about the Huia farms that spring up when the birds are raised for their feathers and economicaly exploited.

    Bah, force the homepage on the browser to PETA and watch the reactions. :)

    No. Not PETA, I said PETA.
