Weasel enthusiasts don't like it when Germany's Gerhard Schroeder and France's Jacques Chirac are compared to weasels. It's unfair, they say - to weasels. When The Post put weasel heads on the suited bodies of the "Axis of Weasels" UN reps, Weasel Central went into red alert. The Web site is "dedicated to ending the irrational hatred of mustela nivalis that has dominated Western Culture." "First off, it's a bad stereotype because weasels are distinctly a North American animal - they are very hard to find in France," People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' Ingrid Newkirk informs us. "They are also fierce warriors, Rambo types." Newkirk advises that "the poodle" is a better representation of the French. "Poodles are pretty, chic, pensive," she notes. "They like to make love, not war." Another thing: weasels eat rodents and insects, not snails and sauerkraut. And their bellies are white - not yellow.

Something about PETA upsets me such that I want to hurt animals and normally I love them.

I think they're gonna object next to Skoorb's post, saying it's not characteristic of his lion head avatar.

Next thing you know they will come onto ATOT and order a cease and desist order for all forum members who use animal icons.

Its a hate crime against weasels! Let's sue God for making such a weird looking animal that caused us the emotional distress of coming up with the weasel stereotype.

This is a joke, right?

Kind of like a "The Onion" article.

Right?

RIGHT?



If not, PETA has sunk to a new low (which I didn't think was possible).
