parody Holidays Sarah Palin ecard
Liz posted this on the main PETA blog. I just had to share with all of you, too.
This morning, PETA's Policy Department received a Scrooge-like phone call from someone purporting to be from Gov. Sarah Palin's office threatening legal action against us if we don't play ball—or, actually, stop playing ball. Why are Ms. Palin's peeps so mad at PETA? Well, if you've played our Holiday Snowball Fight game recently, you may know. The game asks players to pick up a virtual snowball and take aim at 2008's biggest animal foes, from Colonel Sanders to the Trollsen twins to Alaska's own Sarah Palin. But guess what, Sarah? We've checked with our legal team, and they say that it's "protected parody," or "fair game"—so the game stays! After all, we're throwing snowballs, not shoes.
In real life, the moose and other animals Ms. Palin blows to smithereens don't stand a chance. But, hey, our game is virtual and nonviolent. To be honest, I'm not quite sure why Sarah is so mad about the game anyways. Wielding a gun and decked out in a sexy bikini and pageant ribbon, I'd think she'd be quite proud of how PETA's portrayed her.
Though this game is just a bit of harmless payback, Palin's real-life hunting habit is no joke. Palin not only guns down big moose but also supports aerial hunting of wolves—she even proposed putting a bounty of $150 on their heads. Wolves aren't even overpopulated in Alaska. The sole reason for the bounty would be to boost the numbers of moose and elk so that hunters will have more living targets for their blood sport. Pathetic.
P.S. Governor Palin isn't the only fantastic figure in the game, so if you haven't had the chance to play, check it out!

The game is awesome!
Posted by: Kelly at December 23, 2008 4:33 PMOMG! Palin is mental. She should be locked up for all the innocent animals she kills.She's lucky PETA made her skinny in the game since I doubt she could wear a bikini in real life!

Posted by: Grey at December 23, 2008 11:23 PMI live in alabama and plety of people suport Sarah Palin but when I found out she hunts and wears fur I was done with her.the only good thing about her is that she is pro choice..
Posted by: anthony at December 24, 2008 8:23 AMIn my eyes she is a cruel, ugly woman. What kind of person likes to kill animals just for the fun of it? She calls herself pro-life? She thinks she is a movie star. She doesn't care about anything but herself. I cannot believe that she has the nerve to complain about a video game when she is going around killing God's creatures. It is so sad.
Posted by: Alexandria at December 24, 2008 2:13 PMPalin is a good person, she just hunts. Hunting is a lot more humane than scalding chickens.
Posted by: Ryan at December 24, 2008 3:25 PMAh, she's a stuffy, square, old Rebub, what dya expect???
Posted by: veggiegrrl69 at December 25, 2008 6:15 PMAnyone who says they are pro-life and hunts is a psycho. As someone who was once a little girl who wanted to be a lawyer when she grew up, and as some one whose read the first amendment, It's called freedom of expression, and caribou barbie can't sue us for it.
Posted by: Sophia(e) at December 25, 2008 9:16 PMHow can someone be a good person when they hunt for fun? To me the killing of animals is the same, hunting is no better than scalding chickens. I am so happy she won't be our next vp, I would cry.
Posted by: jaimie at December 26, 2008 7:25 AMI hate Sarah Palin so so so much.
And not just because she hunts, everything she stands for I oppose.
