Don't Let Your Dog or Cat Become an 'Octomom'

Mar 24, 2010 10:17PM PDT

Normally I can't stand either PETA or the Octomom, but I think this is kind of clever...

Octomom" Nadya Suleman is allowing an animal rights group to put a sign on her front lawn for a fee.

"The sign would read: 'Don't Let Your Dog or Cat Become an 'Octomom.' Always Spay or Neuter.'"

PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, proposed to put an animal rights sign on Suleman's lawn after hearing that her home was being foreclosed due to non-payment.
-------------------------
According to Suleman's attorney, Jeff Czech, Suleman thinks the sign is cute and she is able to laugh at herself. Additionally, PETA will pay the Octomom $5,000 to place the sign on her lawn, and will give her free veggie dogs.

So what's a veggie dog? Do they eat much?

But I can't imagine a 450,000 balloon payment on a home mortgage. The amount of that payment alone is more than enough to buy very nice home in my neck of the woods. How in the heck does someone get into such a mess? And even more odd is why anyone would be chasing after her with money in their hands.

she seems to keep landing on her feet. This is not the first time people have chased after her with money in their hands.

It was off-topic despite a claim it was relevant.
