Peta, Nemo and Disney

My views on PETA are well known around these parts - but their shame seems to know no depths when it comes to snookering kids into their "vegan lifestyle" ... this is just despicable:

Disney joins forces with pro-fish activists.

"Oohh, mommy, I don't wanna eat Nemo!!! Don't make me kill my friend!"

Gag me.

It's spawned an online petition aimed at Disney, which starts off:

We the undersigned wish to protest in the strongest terms your recent affiliation with the group known as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). By allowing them the use of your trademarked and copyrighted animated characters or facsimiles you are furthering their despicable attempts to influence the dietary choices of children far too young to make intelligent choices for themselves.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
