Apr 24 2008PETA Offers $1 Million For Test Tube Meat

Know anything about growing meat in a test tube? If so, bring it to market and PETA will award you with $1 million. I was so excited when I heard about the contest that I couldn't sleep. I stayed up all night in my basement laboratory banging test tubes together. But alas, no matter how hard I banged my efforts proved fruitless meatless. I don't get it, I had a lab coat on and everything. I'm starting to think this is going to be harder than I first anticipated. I bet I'm going to need a laser. *yelling upstairs* Mother! Order me a powerful burning laser! The strongest one they've got. Oh, and bring me a fucking juicebox! My scientific mind can't operate on Fruit Roll-Ups alone you know.

I wonder how many lab animals will be killed in an effort to develop this new mystery meat? What was the definition of irony again? I need to go look it up.
MMMmmmm Chicken..... Why is it that every time I hear the word PETA, I want to go get me some KFC?

PETA is largely insane, but as a vegetarian and general lover of all things eco friendly let me say that this is a pretty neat endeavor.
Let's just hope they can create a cost-effective substitute for the real thing.
God knows tofurky blows, it's got the texture of what I can only assume is akin to that of old man testicles

i thought that according to peta, "meat is murder".
if it comes from a test tube it's not murder? what about all of these test tube babies in the world? can i now go and eat them for breakfast? care for some fava beans and a nice maple syrup?
peta really is a confused bunch of hippies. ughhh... vegetarians will listen to anything that makes them feel like they're doing the right thing.
i'm wearing my baby seal face hat today, with my mama rabbit slippers.
if there was a way for me to cover my car in beached whale skin, i would.
i comb my hair with a fish bone brush. i put my cigarettes out in a chipmunk skull. F*CK!!!

I personally cant wait for the day I can eat meat and support animal rights without feeling like a hypocrite. :)

if you feel like a hypocrite because you eat meat and support animal rights, perhaps you have an obgyn check your vagina.
did you know that peta wants to outlaw pets. that's right, say goodbye to Mr Whiskers. and do you know what peta will do with all those homeless pets? it will kill them (mercy killing). that's what it does now with strays that it finds.
anyway, grow it in a test tube, and don't have it take up any space or waste precious grain. hmmm... I've got it - cloned VEAL!
well, I'm off to get my ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!

PETA'S FULL OF $#@!
Look, I'm all in favor a saving everything cute and cuddly (otherwise Pam Anderson would be pate by now) but I really hate it when PETA goes all stupid. First of all, there's plenty of Chinese and vegan restaurants here in NYC that make "mock" chicken that's pretty darn good made from seitan, soy, or other non-animal products. Secondly, there's a great article on Slate.com explaining why this is only a publicity stunt, and even if someone was to complete this rediculous challenge today, it would be impossible to have it in stores before PETA's deadline to collect the $1M.

Don't we get steakums from a test tube?
8. SmokingGirl - April 24, 2008 12:29 PM
Hey, I'm all for PETA. We are talking about the group "People Eating Tasty Animals" right?

i already know how to grow meat in a test tube...stick ur penis in a test tube and watch some porn...it grows!
10. yea no - April 24, 2008 12:58 PM
Theres something wrong here....
if i cured cancer today i wouldnt settle for a fuckin million bucks, i would settle for a new fuckin planet for myself and 6000 hookers.
creating test tube meat could possibly end farming and pesticide use and cure world hunger as far as we know, and for that i get to sit on a hefty $1 million? what is this austin powers? fuck you guys!

Your previous story, the one with the sexy picture of the naked Darth Vader? Doesn't that get the prize for test tube meat?
12. Scott - April 24, 2008 3:18 PM
I would love to join up with them but they refused to let me BBQ a goat at the get to know you picnic.
So let me get this straight, if you can grow meat in a lab PETA will give you a million dollars? Sorry, but they would have to come up with a lot more than that. They must think it's 1972 or something.
Cult load of terrorist led by a narcissistic nutjob.

As a vegetarian I'd just like to point out that PETA does *not* represent the whole lot of vegetarians and vegans out there. This is fucking retarded. PETA is made up of a bunch of idiots with blinders on. If one cares about animals it would seem to follow that one cares about the Earth in general. How is being a proponent of yet more shady laboratory stuff very pro Earth? I can only imagine how many animals would need to be killed, chemicals used, energy wasted to accomplish this only to have a whole host of ethical and enviornmental concerns that I can't even begin to imagine being unleashed. Yeah, way to go you fucking hippies.

i'm disappointed that none of you have so far said: "I got some test tube meat for PETA."
so... hey PETA I got your fuckin test tube meat right here, you fur hatin bitches.

@14 - uh oh, looks like school just got out
16. Cyberwulf - April 25, 2008 3:10 AM
I club baby seals and send pictures of their skinned carcasses to PETA.
17. Cyberwulf - April 25, 2008 3:16 AM
Seriously though, I prefer to keep my right to kill and eat non domesticated animals. If it's wild, and it tastes good, why not?
18. MoMan - April 25, 2008 4:02 AM
So if PETA is successful in turning the entire planet into veggies and vegans, what then? Are they gonna go after the animals next? Get the lions to quit their gazelle diet? No thanks, I'll give you my sirloin steak when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. P.S. (PETA, please don't send your hitmen out to get me)

PETA is the worst of the AR rights groups in my opinion, They began well, But something went wrong somewhere. Something is just not right sounding about test tube meat. What chems are they going to try to infect us with? Where did they get the million bucks from to entice this lunacy? oh yeah, from good people like you and me that gave our hard earned monies to help animals. A million dollars could have created a free or afordable S & N program? What else do they spend their tax exempt money on? oh yeah They had to settle with show dog people for their crazed people going to a dog show and releasing show dogs from their cages, which was right by a freeway and many were killed. They spend our donated monies on getting their people out of jail when they break the law. PETA needs to lose their tax exempt status and fast. and we good americans need to investigate organizations prior to donating money to them. Money is power, Peta has money. They lobby to take away our rights to have a family pet???? If we do not stand united against them NOW one by one we will lose our rights. Dont be a sucker and allow them to spoon fed you BS.
