Sea Kittens: Kid tested. Mother approved.

Do the people over at PETA ever just sit back and take a look at some of the things they're saying?

Their latest nonsensical campaign is to rename the species formerly known as "Fish" to "Sea Kittens."

"Why?" You might ask.

People don't seem to like fish. They're slithery and slimy, and they have eyes on either side of their pointy little heads—which is weird, to say the least. Plus, the small ones nibble at your feet when you're swimming, and the big ones—well, the big ones will bite your face off if Jaws is anything to go by.

Of course, if you look at it another way, what all this really means is that fish need to fire their PR guy—stat. Whoever was in charge of creating a positive image for fish needs to go right back to working on the Britney Spears account and leave our scaly little friends alone. You've done enough damage, buddy. We've got it from here. And we're going to start by retiring the old name for good. When your name can also be used as a verb that means driving a hook through your head, it's time for a serious image makeover. And who could possibly want to put a hook through a sea kitten?

PETA's trying to be cute in their approach to this. But the mentality behind this movement is absolutely ridiculous and offensive. And it's as if we don't have bigger "fish" to fry at the moment with our Global Economy imploding and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yes, let's focus our efforts on important matters like changing public opinion of fish, banning text messaging while driving (rather than spending more resources targeting drunk or illegal drivers), banning trans-fats, and placing further burdens on restaurant owners by requiring they post nutritional information. At least we have our priorities in the right order.

Serious *groan*
