Perhaps you have seen the PETA billboard that went up after a boy was bitten by a shark while spear-fishing. PETA thought they could capitalize on this shock value of this by inserting their none-too-subtle message on a billboard. But whatever the merits of such tacky exploitation of human tragedy,
the part that got me was the subtle pantheist religious sentiments of both the billboard and the
execrable
defense that PETA provided for their insensitivity to the boy and his family. So this is my billboard.
