• Rourke Doesn't Want Your Dog to Get Knocked Up

  Mickey Rourke's role in The Wreslter must have really stuck with him, because I'm pretty sure the last time I heard the word cojones was on the WWE. Here he is with his beloved Chihuahua, Loki, posing for the new PETA ad with a message that Bob Barker would be proud of. Of course I don't think Barker ever ended an episode of The Price is Right quite as bluntly as "make sure your dogs don't get knocked up." In any event, let's be glad Rourke didn't pose for one of PETA's "I'd rather go naked th

• PETA's Super Bowl Advert is Banned, Legions of Sports Fans Indifferent

  Just how irrelevant has PETA become? The one-time-animal-rights-organization-turned-ludicrous-marketing-machine long ago gave up trying to reach people with reasoned arguments about the sanctity of all life or the wastefulness of our meat-happy culture. Instead they've adopted a fairly standard marketing strategy with which to convert confused meaties: 1) Create supposedly offensive advert designed to piss off octogenarian censors and bible-belters, 2) feign outrage when said moral authorities

• Win 25 Grand for your Beefcake

  Beef has taken some serious body punches in the last couple of years. Michael Pollen, Mark Bittman, and a merry cast of vegetarians have been steadily hammering away at our poor American steers, calling them expensive, health-hazardous resource hogs that have done little to whittle the national waistline. Now the Association for American National Cattlewomen has thrown down the gauntlet: The ladies are offering a $25,000 grand prize to the home cook who comes up with the most fabulous origin

  PetaRourke in a Peta PSA with Loki's dog pal JawsAcademy Award nominee Mickey Rourke's constant companion, a plump little chihuahua named Loki, passed on just a day before the award ballots were due. Rourke gave a memorable heart felt thank you to his dogs during his Golden Globe acceptance speech, and became a PETA advocate on their behalf. Loki became something of a fixture around town in recent years. Rourke hosted "Loki Karaoke" at Rokbar, and frequently brought Loki along during his protest

  Untwist those panties: Bacon is good for you!1. ChocolateTwo words: Flavonoids. Antioxidants. Dark chocolate, more than 70 percent cocoa, has both of them, and they destroy evil free radicals, lower blood pressure, and balance hormones. The folks at Galler Chocolate, a candymaker from Belgium, will be happy to consult with you about the optimal mix for good health and a sin-free soul.

  courtesy of PETAIt may be a bad day for lovers of sexy animals, but it's a good day for sexy animal lovers. Yes, this blatant display of flesh is brought to you out of the love and respect of our little creature friends. For years now the PR machine known as PETA has been naming celebrities as the "Sexiest Vegetarians."  Now they're looking for the sexiest vegetarians next door, and one of them may actually live next to you. 25-year-old Miami resident Giselle Windecher has made the woman's

• Pet Shop Boys Play Filllmore Miami Beach on September 9

  Earlier this year, the publicity machine known as PETA decided they'd get their name in the papers again by requesting the Pet Shop Boys change their name to the Rescue Shelter Boys. No really, they did. The request was respectfully declined, which I'm sure was a crushing blow to animal rights activists across the world. Now, after standing up to PETA, the synth-pop masterminds have announced a new tour with a September 9 date at the Fillmore  Miami Beach. Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are to

• PETA Grasps at Cat Killer Straws to Push Anti-Dissection Campaign

  via DanPerry.com's FlickrNo, Mr. Meowington we do not want to cut you up, but can you scratch PETA for usRiptide never takes too kindly to organizations piggy backing on a big news story to push their agenda. Yeah, sure, it's PR 101, but it's just so annoying. So, on the heels of the Cat Killer hubbub along comes PETA to push their campaign to ban animal dissection from science classes. I am not unsympathetic to the cause. I mean, I don't remember anything I learned by dissecting

• Che Guevara's Granddaughter Poses Topless for PETA

  via El MundoJust yesterday, PETA tried to jump on the coattails of the cat killer case by pushing their anti-dissection agenda, but we've got a feeling the fallout from their latest stunt is really going to make certain corners of Miami explode with outrage. They've convinced Lydia Guevara, granddaughter of Che and a vegetarian, to pose topless for a campaign with stylistic nods to her infamous granddad. In a preview pic obtained by El Mundo, Lydia is decked out in Che's

  via FFFFOUNRiptide had an insane week, and in case you missed anything, here are all the highlights. Perhaps you can use them to make small talk with your dad on Father's day.  18 year-old Tyler Weinman was arrested and charged with being the notorious cat killer. He may have been brought down by his own Facebook and MySpace pages -- places his friends often came to discuss his poop-blowing up habit. But police may need to get all CSI on the case to get a conviction.&

• Dolphins Pass on Michael Vick, and Boy Is Greg Cote Upset

  ​The Miami Dolphins yesterday officially squashed any lingering rumors they had an interest in signing convicted felon Michael Vick, and boy, Miami Herald sports columnist Greg Cote sure is upset about it. In a column today, he calls the Dolphins "cowards," whose passing on Vick carried a "tinge of arrogance." In Cote's mind, the only people who care that Vick abused and killed dogs are "crackpot" PETA-ites. It's a classic false dichotomy. I don't mean they c

• Flyer of the Week: Bunnygrunt at Propaganda August 26

  ​As a little runt in the late '80s, I owned a rabbit's foot keychain. And really, didn't everyone? Back then, lucky bunny body parts were still a genuine fixture of pop culture. Today though, the hallowed tradition of carrying a severed rodent's leg on your person as some sort of amulet against evil mojo seems to be in serious decline. It's a shame. And personally, I blame PETA and Bunny Lovers magazine for needlessly destroying an ancient tradition while decimating the novelty keychain indust

She's gone through multiple other shows, a few marriages and divorces, and changed her breast size more often than her hairdo. But for a 42-year-old, she can still pull off the iconic high-cut red one-piece that caused countless boners in the '90s.Anderson busted out the suit for the finale of friend and former Heatherette co-designer Richie Rich's debut showi
