PeTAtors

Yes, I just saw Predators. (How did you know?) And it made me think there ought to be a sketch comedy version of this, where hunters of all civilizations are abducted and brought to a game preserve, and they’re hunted down and humiliated by PeTA to show them what it feels like to be the prey. Then, naturally, the survivors get doused with buckets of red paint, and served a peace-offering of bean sprouts and vegan stuff. Oh, but it’s a trick: for the bean sprouts are covered in E-coli! And so perishes all who would hunt anyone (unless they’re with PeTA, or course)! And the hunter becomes the hunted, and all the other movie clichés. Okay, maybe not all the movie clichés, since the white guys get killed first (by their own actions, like Wile E. Coyote, of course!), for the sake of political-correctness; since it is a politically-correct scenario, after all.

But actually, this idea, up to the bean sprouts part, is pretty good for an ad for PeTA, don’t you think? Hunters being abducted and hunted as prey, just to teach them a lesson. And perhaps they’re shot with red paintballs, after having all their ammo replaced with blanks. Oh, and the PeTA people have to dress up as furry animals like leopards and lions and hyenas and minks and stuff, just for fun. Or maybe as like baby seals and other defenseless animals, just to rub in the humiliation factor. (In fact, how about like the puppets from The Lion King Broadway musical?) That might get their message across better than a bunch of naked celebrities. (But maybe not.)
