Get a PETA Painted Coffin, Be Annoying Even When You're Dead
Just in time for gift giving season, it's the PETA painted coffin. When you care enough to give the very best, need a gift for someone who really has everything, or just want to send a creepy message, you can count on PETA to find a marginally appropriate way to help you out.
The feisty vegans teamed up with eco-coffin provider The Old Pine Box to offer a selection of seven different coffins that cost $620 or $670. That's actually a relatively inexpensive price for a coffin, plus $75 from each sale goes directly to PETA. It's actually a logical choice: if you're a strident PETA activist in real life, of course you want your final moments to have the same amount of/lack of quiet grace and dignity.
While you can usually count on PETA to oversell any idea with babes, boobs and blood, this time they went sort of tasteful, aside from the idea in general.
All seven designs include the PETA logo and sentiments like, "Lifetime PETA member" and "Every Life is Worth Celebrating." You can even choose between one that identifies you as a vegetarian vs. a vegan.
For my money, if you're going to do something like this, at least shoot for a little (gallows?) humor and pick the one that says "I told you I wouldn't be caught dead in fur!"
