PETA Urges Phish to Change Name

Wow, remember Sea Kittens? PETA attempted to rename fish that earlier this year in an attempt to get some sympathy for their aquatic friends... and now they're asking that Phish change their name as well! To quote a song by the legendary band, who has been called Phish for well over 20 years: HA HA HA HA.

The organization's website posted about this idea, possibly their worst ever, saying, "Caravans of caring Phish phans are sure to put their phins, er, hands together and cheer when they learn that PETA has asked the legendary jam band to change its name to Sea Kittens. After all, sea kittens are phriends, not phood." What's next, asking drummer Jon Fishman to change his birth name? Demanding they get rid of their giant hot dog? Asking Ben & Jerry's to remove the fudge fishies from their Phish Food flavor? Take note PETA: All of Phish’s share of the proceeds from the sale of Phish Food go to environmental efforts on Lake Champlain... so they're already doing their part for marine life.
