PETA wants to advertise vegan message on border fence

The billboards, in English and Spanish, would offer the caution: "If the Border Patrol Doesn't Get You, the Chicken and Burgers Will - Go Vegan."

"We think that Mexicans and other immigrants should be warned if they cross into the U.S. they are putting their health at risk by leaving behind a healthier, staple diet of corn tortillas, beans, rice, fruits and vegetables," said Lindsay Rajt, assistant manager of PETA's vegan campaigns.

PETA says its billboards would picture "fit and trim" Mexicans in their own country, where their diet is more in line with the group's mission. Another image on the sign would portray obese American children and adults "gorging on meaty, fat- and cholesterol-packed American food."

I am trying to come up with some witty rant to put here, but it's hard to make PETA look dumber than they make themselves look. Everything they say is the dumbest thing they've ever said, until the next time they open their mouths.

I wonder if they think people who just barely scrape by on rice and various grains in other areas of the world are living it up too? I wonder if they realize the reason they don't eat steak dinners is because they can't afford it, which is why they are coming in the first place. I mean really the billboard may as well say "America: We're a little too prosperous. Turn back before it gets you too."

How about we start a program where we swap PETA members for mexicans?
