Another PETA Staffer With a Name Change Gimmick
Nineteen-year old People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals staffer Chris Garnett garnered a bit of press at the end of 2005 by legally changing his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.Com.
This is, of course, simply a copy of an earlier stunt when Karin Robinson supposedly changed her name to GoVegan.Com. Of course, she only used it for about 15 minutes — when she sends letters or gives interviews to newspapers, she goes by Karin Robinson.
Presumably, Garnett will abandon his moniker the minute after media outlets stop writing about it.

Why does this upset you so much? Is it a guilty conscience?
