Caption this:

[Diddle E. Squat]

OK, someone else on another website came up with a caption that will be hard to beat:

"Wow. That's quite a collection of white people!"

[SunStar]

I see a few people "of color"... in the back of course.

[The Red Zone]

I thought these people didn't believe in having pets.

"We're here, we're queer, and we're in your FACE !"

Oops, wrong organization... nevermind.

[fish hawk]

They dont, they are going to Wok the dog.

[protest1]

Man... this is hungry work... anyone fancy going down to MacDonalds for a burger after this?

[The Red Zone]

Yeah, and it does look very dog-centric. Not a cat to be seen. Bigots!

[The Red Zone]

Can't help you with dog, but A CAT'S IN THE KETTLE

[finnman69]

they don't call them pets.

they call them 'companion animals'

freaks...think I'll go order a hamburger.

[DaBroasta]

I thought these people didn't believe in having pets.

Those aren't pets, those are their domestic partners.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"Soylent Green is made of PETA ! PETAAAAAH !"

[ErnBatavia]

think I'll go order a hamburger.

I wonder where the closest Burger King is, in relation to their headquarters...it'd be fun to leave a few Whopper wrappers laying around the doorways of PETA.

[finnman69]

I want to see someone set up a slide projector across the street and project this on the side of that stark ugly building....

[TomB]

Oh God, imagine the SMELL!!!

(of the people, not the dogs)

And yes, that is quite a Taj Mahal for a non profit group.

[brushcop]

Are those (gasp!) collars and leashes that I see on their companions?? Doesn't that imply OWNERship?

I ran a quick Google search; they don't own the building. Or if they do, they rent out a lot of it, because there are other companies listed with that address ... besides the myriad of PETA-front organizations, that is, such as the amusing IslamicConcern.com.

My guess is they just pay a little extra to hang the sign up there. It's a pretty standard office building perk. In any case, they couldn't possibly need all that space. They just aren't that big an organization. They're like NOW: The noise they make - and the amound of free Lewinskys they get from the "mainstream" news media - are far out of proportion to their actual size.

As for high salaries, Here's their financial statement for 2002:

The majority of PETA's dedicated staff, 53 percent, earn only $15,000 to $26,000, 33 percent earn $26,001 to $36,999, and only the remaining 14 percent make more than $37,000. Our president, Ingrid Newkirk, earned $28,500 during fiscal year ending July 31, 2002.

I suppose they could by lying, but I would think most states disallow the spreading of fraudulent financial data by nonprofits. According to that page, they only took in $17 million last year. It would be so easy to nuke these freaks off the face of the earth if conservatives could ever work up a reason to care about PETA at all...

They look like leather too! How cruel to the cows!

[somemoreequalthanothers]

I'll caption that one.......There is NO intelligent life here!

[The Red Zone]

troll'n troll'n LOLOL

[WKB]

I wonder if this where the fourth plane was headed?
Nah couldn't be!!

[savedbygrace]

Neighbors of the new PETA office in Vietnam display the evening's dinner choices
for their annual bar-b-que.

[chemicalman]

I'd like to set up a large BBQ grill upwind from this building...wow...we can have a freeper BBQ...lol

[Michael.SF.]

Naa, don't you always harness your wife up with a harness, collar, and leash

Now what we do in the privacy of our bedroom should not be anybody else's business.

[StACase]

Thank you for the fine UFO trick with HTML I've stolen it, and it's ready to go :-)

I'd like to set up a large BBQ grill upwind from this building...wow...we can have a freeper BBQ...lol

I have long had a private little dream along those lines. Mine is this:

To set up a BBQ grill in downtown Berkeley, preferably in front of a vegetarian restaurant. Then grill some ribs and burgers, for free distribution to the homeless. The vegetarians and vegans would all be so irritated and confused:

He's cooking MEAT!!! Yes, but he is feeding the homeless.... what do we do???

I want to see someone set up a slide projector across the street and project this on the side of that stark ugly building....

What a great idea!

That huge ugly building was paid for by Pam Anderson, et.al. With much money coming from black mailing Hollyweirdo executives and stars with their "influence".

[Allegra]

Threads like this laways give me a huge craving for some delicious barbecued spotted owl breast served with a nice snail-darter sauce.

[WellsFargo94]

I see leashes and collars on these poor pets-R-people!

Is this what comes from a generation of TV watchers and reruns of Planet of the Apes?

[Allegra]

"laways" = "always"

[WellsFargo94]

Are those (gasp!) collars and leashes that I see on their companions?? Doesn't that imply OWNERship?

OOPS! Didn't see that you already commented on this.

Smells like Kramer's horse on Seinfeld.

This ugly ass building sits mere minutes from my husband's place of work, the largest US Naval installation in the WORLD, NAS Norfolk. Not sure where the McDonalds are around the base, but there's one right inside gate 5 as you head to the submarine pier where my husband's boat sits...
