PETA, always a little bit. . . out there, has apparently decided that the best way to save fish (yes, fish) from rampant human consumption is to get people to realize just how cute they are. By rebranding them as "sea kittens." If this were April, I'd presume NPR was making it up.

Here's the NPR story and here's the actual website .

PETA have clearly reached the apex of a long and glorious history of Making Stuff Up.

That's sickeningly cute and crazy all at the same time.

I suggest reading the stories for children. They are SERIOUSLY twisted.

I didn't read the stories for children. I did create a "sea kitten" though ;)

"And then THEY ALL DIED." The end. Although the one that ended with the mad fish plotting revenge on land dwelling life was pretty funny.
