PETA To Launch Pornography Website 348
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are planning on launching an adult oriented website to help protect animals through a mix of animal suffering footage and porn. I'm not sure how mixing the two will win hearts, minds, or naughty bits, but Lindsay Rajt, PETA's associate director of campaigns, seems to think it's a good idea. She says, "We're hoping to reach a whole new audience of people, some of whom will be shocked by graphic images that maybe they didn't anticipate seeing when they went to the PETA triple-X site."

Nothing like humiliating women for the ethical treatment of animals.

Of course this is ridiculously idiotic. That's just what they're going for. Say something batshit insane that'll provoke media coverage and public reaction to show people that PETA still exists and believes in ending the suffering of animals or whatever. They have no intention of actually doing this, it's just another cynical attention-grabbing statement to remind people about PETA.
Nothing to see here, just Slashdot getting trolled.

Not to mention all the leg-humping dogs who would be up on sexual assault charges.
No dude - this is a PETA article, not a TSA article.

Nah, they've been full-on for a long time... I realized this when they released a film called "Chickens are people too". The obvious reply to that title is: "No, they aren't."

They don't love animals, they just hate people.

You bring in your audience with the product they want, and while they're there you give them the message.
It's not exactly "new".

One can only hope that too much exposure doesn't result in people becoming sexually aroused by cruelty to animals. I really think that PETA should have thought this through a little bit more.

how even blowing up a facility in order to free animals being tested on counts as Terrorism(tm) if you're not targeting people.
Terrorism doesn't have to target people by direct violence. So long as the intent is to force others into accepting some political or ideological point through fear (whether of violence against them, or destruction against their property), and it is practiced systematically, it is terrorism.
