Daily Show Segment with PETA

I don't know if anyone has already seen this or not, but on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart episode from Feb 15, 2012 they did a segment that blasts PETA. The segment starts around 8 minutes 45 seconds

EFFFFFFFFIN funny...
spooky

Ok, that bit was pretty funny. Frankly, I'm surprised that anyone from PETA was willing to make an appearance on that show, given that they had to know they'd be ridiculed. I guess they're going on that theory that any publicity is good publicity?

Yeah they are publicity whores lol

Sweet.

There is a episode of Penn & Teller's B.S. about PETA, and I highly recommend watching it.

Ha! That was pretty good, and right on. Honestly, there's such hypocrisy within PETA. :rolleyes:

I have seen both Penn an Teller and the Daily show one. Both are hilarious an worth watching.

just watched ALL the Penn an Teller one... I truly never knew that they were that dangerous and crazy.

Yeah it is pretty eye opening.

I <3 the Daily Show and this was hilarious like always but I would have LOVED to see Stephen Colbert troll PETA.

I also love the Penn and Teller show; who knew magicians could be so insightful! I love those two. :)

i just watched both, absolutly hilarious

I'm rapidly becoming a fan of The Daily Show. I'm going to start looking for when it's on so I can watch it regularly.

Thanks for the laugh!
It was awesome!
I can't stand PETA. They're all a bunch of crazies. Good thing their psycho president got herself sterilized...Wouldn't want her to spread her crazy genes....

I hate PETA. Even when they have a valid point (eg circuses, fur industry, factory farming, highly intelligent cetaceans used irresponsibly for entertainment) their asinine pr campaigns completely detract and make anyone genuinely for ethical animal treatment look wacko by association.
The organization will never do that tho, Ingrid Newkirk has some weird fetish with the media. To her massive funds should be allocated to print and tv ad campaigns with nude Dlist celebrities or frightening children with the dangers of milk and eggs. Besides rescuing animals is hard, much simplier to just buy a big freezer to stuff the bodies in... I really loathe PETA.

That daily show segment was awesome btw.

I think PETA has a decent sense of humor about themselves, and they are desperate for any publicity so I think they knew what they were getting into by going on the daily show.

I have mixed feelings on PETA, they do a lot of good, but they also do a lot of counter-productive things.
