In a hilarious video we can’t watch enough times, Santa Claus is seen making changes to his naughty and nice list after seeing so many anti-veg artifacts in one little girl’s home.

Leather, fur, dairy milk, McDonald’s and KFC are enough to make him revolt Public Enemy style.

Chuck D, who’s participated in some animal activism himself, would be proud.

48358, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - Thursday December 9 2010. PETA protesters grab publicity for their cause during the Lady Gaga Waxwork unveiling in London. The girls, who were dressed in outfits made of cabbage leaves, took the opportunity to gain publicity outside the Gaga event and hand out vegetarian sausages. PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals . Phototgraph:   Smart Pictures, PacificCoastNews.com PETA ladies dressed in greens were on hand at the unveiling of Lady Gaga‘s wax figure at the Madame Tussauds Museum in London to hand out free veggie sausages. Gaga’s wax image joins the collection of several famous people including David Beckham, Britney Spears, Prince Charles and Barack Obama. A sharp contrast from Gaga’s meat dress that got media attention months ago, the women in cabbage outfits were probably a little chilly, since most people don’t wear hats, scarves and mittens with bikini tops. Ah, the dedication!  NEW YORK, NY - DECEMBER 09: Lady Gaga's wax figure is unveiled at Madame Tussauds on December 9, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by John W. Ferguson/Getty Images)

Sorry guys, but no, they’re not posing naked together.

Awhile back Lea Michele wasn’t so sure she’d ever take her clothes off in the name of animals or vegetarianism. However, a recent poll conducted by Radar Online backstage at PETA’s 30th anniversary gala found Michele would consider such an offer.

“I don’t think we need to see a billboard of me naked to know I am anti-fur, but if they asked I would probably do it,” the Glee actress said.

Now that Jason Mraz doesn’t always eat vegan, he’s labeling himself with an entirely different phrase referring to the type of food he purchases and eats.

“I’m mostly a vegan because I don’t prefer dairy or cheeses, but I think of myself more as a qualitarian,” he said. “I don’t eat anything with more than three ingredients.”

One definition of qualitarian is someone who eats foods of the highest quality that will benefit both humans and the environment the most.

If you can’t bring yourself to label your eating habits as strictly vegetarian, there are multiple green labels popping up, as Long Island Press states, that can help you describe your consumption.

Like a vegeprefarian. From Long Island Press:

“Someone who is for the most part a vegetarian, but won’t refuse a bit of meat now and then. They might also opt for certain meals without meat.”

Catchy songs recited by cartoon characters usually result in children demanding sugary, high caloric snacks, but Popeye the Sailor Man’s tune has them asking for the green stuff that gave him the energy to ward off Bluto.

A study conducted by researchers at Mahidol University in Bangkok found children aged four and five doubled their servings of vegetables after watching the sailor’s show.

Trey Parker has included a talk on DVD commentary on why he and Matt Stone chose to poke fun of Captain Paul Watson on a South Park episode titled Whale Whores.

If you can remember, the episode portrayed Watson and the Sea Shepherd crew in a less than positive light (is anyone portrayed positively on South Park?) and Parker says that although he and Stone are against whaling, they’re not cheering on Watson’s attempts.

“They come up with some big plan and then somehow they f*ck it up,” Parker says. Listen to how Parker explains, in his opinion, how.
