PETA Makes Offer to Hamburg

PETA wants Hamburg, NY to change its name to Veggieburg some of what PETA does is good but I don't understand what this would accomplish, if it's just for publicity than I guess it worked.

How ridiculous. I'm sure that being in PA, which has a Large German derived population, the name Hamburg comes from the German city by the same name, not from the US's favorite fast food.

I'm not a very big fan of PETA. They are so far out there that it actually hurts their cause.

I see. They don't want people to eat hamburg. They would rather we eat veggieburg. I hate veggieburgs. Make one that costs the same as a hamburg, and tastes decent and I'll change.

PETA (people eating tasty animals) have a little too much time on their hands.

So are they saying canabolism is a good thing? Going off what Blazer said, if they are saying Hamburg should be Veggieburg then that implies its not named after a German place but instead is a piece of food. If its food that means its population is just...lettuce and tomatoes. Hey I'm hungry! Any one up for a road trip to the biggest Veggieburger in the world!\

edit: I guess what I said makes abou the same amount of sense as what they said.

Does the name hamburg have anything to do with
hamburger?

it is like comparing "to" and "too" and "two" They have very little to do with eachother except for the simmilar sound.
