OK, PETA, I'm going to do us both a favor.

You see, every few months, you go and do or say something ridiculous. And every few months, I say I'm not going to write about it. Its obvious you crave publicity for publicity's sake and have concluded the best way to keep your cause in the forefront of people's minds is to do silly things like criticize President Obama for killing a fly or compare the American Kennel Club to the Ku Klux Klan.

Take your latest ploy, suggesting that Punxsutawney Phil -- everyone's favorite prognosticating groundhog -- should be replaced by a robot. He is, you argue, an unwilling media attraction forced endure the displeasure of screaming crowds, flashing lights and cameras and (gasp!) human handling.

So here, PETA, is what I propose. Every couple months, I will devote this blogspace to the following message: PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA PETA.

This way, you guys can still get your name in print without having to knock yourselves out coming up with some nonsensical attention grabbing scheme, and I won't have to go back on my pledge to quit covering said attention grabbing schemes.

Do we have a deal, or what?
