Vegetarian Star

Rapper 50 Cent has been asked to be a guardian of an endangered rhino in South Africa.

Let’s hope he doesn’t pull a knife on it like he did with his puppy.

eBlockwatch says the rapper and the rhino have much in common, such as the fact they’ve both survived being shot 9 times. Not sure if this is the only reason the group feels 50 is the chosen one for being a godfather, but a spokesperson is sure his fame can influence poaching.

“We want to ask him if he wants to become the godfather of our rhino so that he can create awareness worldwide about rhino poaching.”

Phila has also survived two attempts at removing her horn. During the first attempt, part of it was cut off. 50 Cent’s nose in still intact, though.

Though some may find the rapper’s invitation somewhat humorous, sad statistics on poaching make it hard to cry any tears of joy.

50 Cent returned to his old neighborhood in Queens this weekend to promote healthy living and encourage kids to get physically active.

Kids participated in relay races and children and adults were invited to grab hearty servings of whole wheat pasta and veggie burgers.

“I just want [kids] to be active, move around and be physical,” 50 Cent, who’s real name is Curtis Jackson, told the New York Daily News. “Don’t sit in front of a computer all day.”

This is one of the reasons PETA gets a bad rep with people.

Out of good intentions, the group has jokingly suggested that former ‘N Sync singer and “Dancing With the Stars” contestant Lance Bass change his last name from “Bass” to “Sea Kitten.”

You see, bass is a type of fish, and since PETA is doing much to promote their Sea Kitten campaign meant to increase awareness that seafood is as full of life as other animals (and shouldn’t be eaten), it has suggested that Lance changing his name would do much for the campaign.

“Not content with the reams of newsprint that have already been dedicated to our Save the Sea Kittens campaign, we’re going for a little more face time for our finned friends by asking Lance Bass, the former ‘N Sync singer and “Dancing With the Stars” alum, to change his last name from “Bass” to “Sea Kitten.” We hope Lance goes for it hook, line, ‘N Sync-er. (Badump-bump.)”

Groan!

Sure, it’s meant to be humorous, but doesn’t PETA have better things to do with their time? How does this further animal rights? Asking a man to change his name is like sending him to the vet for an irreversible population control procedure. Just put some naked ladies on a video. That’s much more effective.

Remember what happened when Taco Bell asked 50 Cent to change his name to 79 Cent for the sake of their tacos and burritos? It’s wasn’t a pretty scene in da courtroom club.

Focus on the real kittens, sea and land. Leave Lance Kitten alone.
