Another hyper sexual advertisement from Peta. This features model and playmate Kira Eggers wrestling in tofu. In between shots, interesting facts about tofu are inserted such as “Tofu doesn’t cause impotence like artery clogging meat does.”
This fact alone, we’re sure will cause most men to log off their computers and rush to buy a block of Nasoya before getting the chance to learn all the other interesting facts, such as it contains multiple cancer fighting agents. Oh, well. One health problem tackled at a time.
George W. Bush’s father, the first presidential Bush, hated broccoli. Barack Obama dislikes the tastes of beets. It appears the right and the left aren’t too different when it comes to having vegetable pet peeves.
Obama hates beets and makes it a policy to “always avoid eating them.”
Earlier on the campaign trail he shared a similar view with Erykah Badu, mentioning that Whole Foods was an expensive place to buy produce, arugula in particular.
Although good for you, there’s no doubt some vegetables taste so bad you don’t want to touch them with a 10 foot carrot pole. Which vegetables would you make it a policy to abolish from the White House if you were office?
Move over Oprah. You’re not the only one who can give out cool gifts to your audience members who just happen to plan their trip to Chicago during the right week.
The divas at the daytime talk show, “The View,” Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sherri Shepherd treated their fans in the audience on Wednesday to a $150 gift card to ebags.com to pick out a Big Buddha Handbag.
Big Buddha’s bags come in a variety of colors and styles, but best of all, some of them, like the Bonnie Bag are VEGAN, made with synthetic PVC to make them look like leather.
Sigh…If only you could plan a trip to Los Angeles at the right time.

Comments Off on Satirical President Bush Pardoning All Turkeys In 2008
“President Bush” tried calling the Butterball turkey hotline but was disappointed when he couldn’t speak to any turkeys. So he called another hotline that told him all sorts of interesting facts about the treatment of turkeys on farms. This made him decide to pardon all turkeys this year, since it is his last year as “the decider.” To learn everything he’s learn, he suggests you get on Al Gore’s internet.
Comments Off on Sushil Kumar Finally Seduced By Peta
Those people at Peta are really good at their “promote vegetarianism with us,” campaign. Their latest conquest is Sushil Kumar (shown in the blue), who won the Bronze medal for wrestling in the Olympics this past summer.
As we told you earlier, Kumar was a wanted man soon after his victory, because Peta found out he was vegetarian. And they wanted to show that Kumar, like other athletes that have worked with them, such as Mac Danzig, proves physical strength and ability can be maintained with a meat-free diet.
Kumar couldn’t resist. He’s agreed to work with them and said in an interview:
“I am a vegetarian myself and I want to send out this message to everyone that vegetarians are powerful, they have the stamina. Look at me, I defeated non-vegetarians from America and Kazakhstan in the Olympics. So, you can see that vegetarians have a lot of strength.”
No details on exactly what Kumar will be doing to work with Peta, whether it’d be PSAs or possibly less than fully dressedadventures.
Way to go for Kumar. And congrats to Peta for one more victory under its belt. We know they’ve got a little black book somewhere they like to brag about.
“I think I can convince anyone to become a vegetarian. David Boreanaz [Booth, her crime solving partner on Bones] used to make fun of me for being a vegan, but then I started giving him vegan food to eat, and he loves it. Now he tries to eat vegetarian 1 day a week.”

Comments Off on Daniel Negreanu Gave Tobey Maguire Poker Lessons
Poker champ Daniel Negreanu has given poker lessons to several celebrities, including fellow vegetarian Tobey Maguire.
Although Tobey still does occasional dairy, Negreanu went completely vegan in 2003. Wonder if they shared secrets for five bean soup as well as five card draw?
Either Negreanu is a good teacher, Maguire is a good student or both.
Tobey has become quite accomplished, competing and winning in tournaments like World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker. He won first place in the Phil Hellmuth Invitational – No Limit Hold’em 2004 National Championship of Poker in Los Angeles. The prize money was a nice $95,480.
Of course that’s pocket change to an actor that pulls millions from a single movie, but hey, bragging rights are priceless.
