PETA May Want to Reconsider the 'Person of the Year' Thing for Oprah

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have long been fiercely opposed to KFC.

PETA even operates a website called "KentuckyFriedCruelty":

PETA is also the group that made Oprah Winfrey their "Person of the Year" in 2008 for her shows highlighting animal cruelty.

Now, Oprah's pushing KFC coupons on her website:

I'm as confused and suspicious as Pamela Anderson's kid during the balloon toss game at the cosmetic surgeon's mother/daughter picnic.

Doubt they will, she’s their favorite animal.

It's all about the benjamins. Oprah didn't become the richest woman in the world because she felt sorry for chicken. In fact I applaud her for conning both The Colonel and PETA into thinking she's an OK gal.

As usual, PETA espouses their "It's fine if we do it, but you can't" stance on animal rights issues.

During 2008 they killed 95% of the animals in their adoption shelters in VA, while finding homes for 7 of the 2216 they took in.

Why aren’t the coupons redeemable on Mother’s Day?
Is there some sort of yearly rush to eat at KFC on that day?

According to the food columnist in our local paper, the reason they’re not redeemable on Mother’s Day is because too many kids would think, hey, this is a great gift for mom. Supply and demand, you know.
