Woman Changes Her Name To GoVeg.com

NORFOLK, Va. (Wireless Flash) -- A Norfolk, Virginia, woman has taken her love of vegetarianism to the extreme by changing her name to GoVeg.com.

The-vegan-formerly-known-as Karin Robertson changed her name to the same as that of a vegetarian information website to encourage meat-eaters to become vegetarians. 23-year-old GoVeg.com, a Youth Project Specialist for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, says her new name is a great conversation starter.

But life isn't all a bed of lettuce. Since she changed her name, she's had some trouble at airports, but she says security guard believe her when she shows them her drivers license. GoVeg.com says her mother worried at first what she would do if she got married, but GoVeg.com says her parents know how much animal rights activism means to her.

Now, GoVeg.com says she couldn't imagine changing her name back saying, "To be named after the number one website for vegetarian information -- what could be better?"

Well, I guess "GoVeg.com" is more flattering than "I-Love-Meat.com"

:)

Reminds me of a guy I went to college with. He changed his name to "Space Robot". Novel. His real name is a great name for his line of work.

I congratulate her on her decision. In fact if I ever see her, I'm going to treat her to a hamburger.

But if she changed her name to "Imadumbbitch", then people would be insulting themselves when they talked to her. "Hello, Imadumbbitch". "Oh are you?"

How long before someone buys out the domain name and makes it a sleezy porn site?

When I was younger I used to respect PETA to an extent because their goal was largely noble: To promote the ethical treatment of animals. However, I believe it's become clear to everyone that the members that make up the organization clearly are far, far too extremist, and that the organization goes way beyond the bounds of realistic behavior.

Also, given that she's vegan, doesn't she realize she's unfairly discriminating against (and even specifically persecuting) plants? I'd like to start an organization that promotes the ethical treatment of plants and advocates the strict consumption of an "animal-only" diet. Think it'll fly?
