Does PETA Love Fish So Much It Will Sacrifice a Cow?

Omaha Steaks Ad Running on Seakittens Site

Maybe I'm picking on PETA too much, but how can I help it? The folks so upset about fishing that they tried to rebrand fish as Seakittens are currently running an ad for Omaha Steaks across the top of that Seakittens site. Granted, this is probably some screw-up by a contextual ad generator (or a sinister and genius plot by Omaha Steaks to convert vegetarians), but it's still worth a chuckle. I'm including a screen grab as someone will undoubtedly fix this mistake soon.

Interestingly enough, it looks like this is actually a stunt and/or controversial use of embedded inline frames. Seakittens.com -- not owned by PETA, it seems, if you check WHOIS -- is actually in-line framing the legit PETA site, at http://www.peta2.com/sea_Kittens/

Maybe a stunt to get more coverage by Omaha Steak by the blogs?
