Latest story.

Peta is using a billboard to promote spade and neuter with Tiger's picture on it. It is pretty funny stuff.

PETA's gotten to the point where, whenever I see their advertisements, I automatically think to myself, "No way that's a real ad, that's gotta be shopped."

 

[Chazwozel]

I... like it. It actually does promote a good message.

 

[Soliloquy]

Is using Tiger's image in an ad like that without his permission... allowed? Because I'm pretty sure there's some legal issues there.

 

[sixpackshaker]

It is more of a parody, so they might get away with it.

I think it's trouble because they also say his name, which is a no no.

This will be coming down soon.

He's lost a lot of sponsors. Maybe he is getting paid to be on the sign haha.

Oh, SNIP!

 

[Chad Sexington]

Wait, I thought PETA was opposed to pet-owning in general? And they don't consider that process animal cruelty? Huh.

Well, yeah, for once PETA promotes a positive message. Good stuff, really.

Oh, SNIP!

I wondered the same thing as you, Garbledina.

 

[Chazwozel]

Oh, SNIP!

Single nucleotide polymorphisms?

Nerrrrrrrd! Go back to Nerdania, nerdo! Come on, then. Back in the lab with ya, boy. Git!

Isn't parody highly protected in the US? I mean that was one of the primary means of protest when this country was forming.
