An important fact shouted by zealots in a tactless, classless way is pretty much guaranteed to be ignored. People like them are a big part of why normal people don't take environmental issues seriously; they're practically walking straw-men.

1 steak = 50 baths? Without visiting the article you linked, I would have absolutely no idea what they were trying to say.

:Edit: Am I the only one seeing my post above the OP somehow?

To answer my own question, no, this thread is boned.

And they will never mind the cold. Those PETA hippies have bush rated to -30F.

Some of the most profound minds have eloquently spoken about such topics, and have been ignored just the same.

Hey I said obnoxious zealots are certain to be ignored, I didn't say their sane counterparts are sure to be listened to. But, consider the possibility that profound minds would be taken more seriously if the average fuckwad couldn't immediately lump them in with PETA types. A lot of them would still be ignored, given how anti-science and anti-intellectual so much of this country is, but every little bit counts.

Fine, I'll just take 50 fewer baths for every steak I eat. As a matter of fact, I'm probably ahead on that count already. :p

Someday maybe AT admins will discover this really cool thing called NTP. I'm not holding out hope, however.

That said, I have to hand it to PETA protestors for creative ways to get their message across (misguided as it is).

Meh, at least the idiots are giving the people walking by a decent show for free. Normally they just do stupid things to get attention and push an idiotic agenda.
