S. P. I. T. N.

A few weeks back the People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals sent a letter to Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe to change the name of their band.

Why would PETA want to do that???? That’s because Neil and Chris are better known as The Pet Shop Boys.

PETA asked them to change their name to… wait for it…. Rescue Shelter Boys. Really, does PETA have nothing better to do then to bug the bejesus out of us?

Neil and Chris respectfully declined the name change stating that they were "unable to agree" to the request "but nonetheless think (it) raises an issue worth thinking about."

By the way the band came up with the name when they first recorded "West End Girls". They didn’t have a name for their band, so the they chose the name because they had friends who worked at a pet shop in West London known as the "Pet Shop Boys.

Maybe PETA can petition Meatloaf next.... Tofuloaf sounds pretty good don’t you think?
