Re: I LOVE PETA!!!!! SHAQ AND BRON GETTING BASHED BIG TIME. I LOVE IT.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Dan Shannon of PETA)</div><div class='quotemain'>SAVE YOUR SKIN - AND A COW: NBA players hated the way the new ball damaged their skin, but consider what happens to cows now that the leather ball is returning.That was the message from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, who told Steve Nash and the rest of the players who made that complaint to toughen up.In an open letter to the players, PETA's manager of campaigns Dan Shannon wrote: "As excruciating as these 'injuries' must be for a world-class athlete, thousands of cows stand to suffer far worse if the NBA goes back to a leather basketball.''As a compromise, Shannon offered a lifetime supply of hand cream to any player who gives the composite ball another try."The hand cream comes in a variety of scents, including "Filthy Rich Organic'' (perfect for any overpaid millionaire) and "Peaceful Patchouli'' - Nash, we have a whole case of that set aside for you,'' Shannon wrote. "Maybe by taking care of your own skin a bit better, you can allow cows who would otherwise meet their end in the slaughterhouse to keep theirs.''The letter also had some harsh words for Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James."Shaq, as one of the players who has been most critical of the composite ball, perhaps you'll volunteer to be our test case - since you've only played four games all season, surely you have time to work a moisturizing routine into your schedule. Or LeBron, maybe you're interested. The NCAA has used the composite ball for years - so it's not only an education that you missed out on. Maybe you just need some more time to adjust.''</div>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/bask...tes.adv16.1299/That's amazing. That's awesome. If you have anything wrong with this, then you should seriously get a CAT scan. Best comments I've heard/read since "Practice?"
Re: I LOVE PETA!!!!! these people make me sick.........makes me want to go kill a cow and cook it in front of them.......it's not like cows are rare, so who the hell cares what happens to those ugly ass creatures, they are only good for eating and that's it........
Re: I LOVE PETA!!!!! Did PETA really write that????? It seems so unprofessional, I doubt a company as big as them would say that. If it was true, then I gotta bow down :worthy: :worthy: :worthy:
Re: I LOVE PETA!!!!! They owned them. PETA actually fights for some good causes. You need to learn what companies are doing to animals before you call ALL of them lunatics.

Like there own?
Re: I LOVE PETA!!!!! I like the letter - but PETA is retarded. Cows are meant to be eaten - if we're going to kill them anyways for meat than why not use their skin as well for things like leather and basketballs - At least they aren't going to waste - and they're going towards things that we can use.
Re: I LOVE PETA!!!!! That letter was hilarious. I do hate PETA, but they have a real good point. NBA players do literally nothing for an average salary of $3,000,000 a year. If some of them got REAL jobs, maybe they'd stop bitching about a f*cking ball.

So I can see why they would complain about a ball that causes cuts on their hands and fingers. As for this guy from peta, he has probably never done a hard days work in his life either, them running up and down the court is probably harder than anything he has ever done in his life. And his cream idea is retarded, I have had plenty of cuts on my hand from work and no cream has ever stopped my hands from getting cut any worse.
Re: I LOVE PETA!!!!! My teacher's, you know, the teacher who's Rev. Haggard's niece, sister is part of Peta. Lots of nice little stories about he and her sister. Like when my teacher complimented her sister's boyfriend's leather seats in his car and said she like them her sister turned around with a glare and said, "No you don't!" And cussed her out when she ordered veal at a restaurant. These PETA people do seem weird. Oh well, the more vegetarians the more meat for us.
Re: I LOVE PETA!!!!! I hate PETA, they're nothing less than a terrorist group; so anything they say I take it as rederic from radicles.

They digitally edited a picture of a cow to make it look like it had gone through a concentration camp and pasted it next to a picture taken of a Jewish survivor AT a concentration camp.These people are sick.

Re: I LOVE PETA!!!!! I also get confused, however, that players are pretending to get cut, but college players use composite balls all the time and nobody complains. Nobody who went through college(screw bron) should complain. I love the comment on Shaq though. Stupid fat bastard, complaining about something he's barely touched because he hurt his dick or something and is out for the season.

Re: I LOVE PETA!!!!! *groans* For crying out loud these PETA cats are retarded. Sure they got a good cause, and they are right about complaining millionaires, but they are trying to protect the wrong animals, Cows are bred for meat and leather. If it wasn't for that fact these cows they are trying to protect WOULDN"T EVEN BE ALIVE! dickheads. How about going to indonesia and try and protect the rats and cats from being eaten (Yes I have been there and they do actually offer you rat and cat meat :S ). PETA get a life NBA player grow some balls and butch up!
