Perhaps They'd Prefer Falafel in their PETA - In the why-are-they-trying-to-generate-such-dumb-publicity? category, comes the story from Hamburg, NY that PETA is requesting that the town change its name to Veggieburg. As we all know, the food chain was an evil scheme created by McDonalds back in the 50s in an attempt to enslave the world into global capitalism.

Oh and by the way, the Hamburg Sun appears to only be a weekly newspaper, so this story isn't even the top local news. Do you think it's possible PETA wasn't really hoping for a local change, but just wanted to generate some controversy?
