Little Girls Scold Michelle Obama in PETA Easter Campaign Video

[pokerfan]

Every year the White House hosts an Easter egg roll, and the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are trying to get the White House to use plastic eggs instead of real, hard-boiled ones with a new campaign specifically targeting First Lady Michelle Obama. And a big part of the campaign is a video PETA put online featuring little girls telling Obama they’re not mad, just “disappointed.”

The little girls try to convince her to break tradition, asking, “If all the other first ladies jumped off a bridge, would you?” and asking her to put herself in the shoes of the chickens that had to lay all those thousands and thousands of eggs. They encourage Obama to use plastic eggs, that way they can use them every year and not waste real ones.

1. Did Peta jump a plastic shark?

They can't be taken serious anymore.

7. the mainstream hasn't

taken PETA seriously for a very long time. Unfortunately they brought it on themselves.

2. Yes, little one, enjoy collecting the eggs and the pageantry.

Remember though, you need to give us back the plastic eggs so we can use them again next year. And by the way, ask Dad to write us a check because storage space in DC runs a bit higher that the cost of the eggs.

3. I love a hard boiled egg.

Yum! Yum! I love that about Easter. Pilling the shell, salting it up and noming it to pieces.

8. My son found a wooden egg at the White House Easter Egg Roll one year

It was stained and polished--and signed by Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter.

10. still have it? nt

17. I don't know what became of it

These days they're painted in Easter pastels and available for purchase as souvenirs from the WH gift shop.

6. PETA blows

They aren't much better than the looney church that protests funerals IMHO

9. They can have my Easter egg when they can pry it out of my cold dead hands

And I'm not giving up chocolate either.

11. Every time PETA pulls this sort of crap, I support their cause less.

Seriously, the organization doing the most to harm animals and to support animal cruelty is PETA.

[etherealtruth]

12. Once again folk are talking about PETA and not the issue they purport to passionately support

Masters of publicity (even negative press is press) for themselves.

13. Chickens lay eggs. It's how those chickens are treated that matters.

Instead of berating people about the evils of eggs, I have two chickens that roam my 1/2 acre yard and lay eggs. I don't force them to lay eggs; that's what they do.

If anyone wants to know about finding eggs from non-battery hens in their area, I'll be glad to help. What I won't do is bullshit like this nonsense.

[butterfly77]

14. Crazy..

Do they really think chickens won"t lay eggs or people won't use them?Peta?????


Hey little girls! Who do you think you're talking to?

Respect your elders!

[tavernier]

15. Yes, because encouraging us to produce more plastic

is really healthy for the planet and its inhabitants.

What brainiac thought that up?

[scarletwoman]

16. Exactly! Just what the world needs - more petroleum products.

18. Silly children, chickens don't wear shoes
