The cows are plotting something. They're meeting in secret COWncils. They're even keeping blogs. I'm not sure what it's all about, but it seems that 05.05.05 is the date when the cows will show their hand (or hoof, as it may be). (via Metafilter)

Hmmm, PETA seems to have taken a hate-on for the chicken industry this month.
Maybe next month is cow month?

My son loves the cow song. 
I've seen BNL several times, it's a fun concert.

"You can be my Yoko Ono
And you can follow me wherever I go..."
I still think "Hello City" is one of their best, though.
Damn, thinkin about PETA's got me hungry. Time to whip up some burgers. With Heinz 57. (If I had cheese, I'd add it just to piss them off).

I agree with you rod, hello city definitely ranks among their best. In fact, the entire gordon cd probably ranks among their best.

Actually PETA most certainly DOES mention by-products:
http://www.peta.org/mc/factsheet_display.asp?ID=72
But they also take a realistic view:
"While PETA supports a strict adherence to veganism, we put the task of vigorously reducing animal suffering ahead of personal purity."
So between bites of your Tasty Burger, you might want to enlighten yourself with the facts before bashing them any further:

The cards just had the same logo as the website and advertised the site. Nothing else was said.
Posted by BehindRoundEyes on Sat Apr 16, 2005 at 01:24 PMMust be a Maryland thing, because today they dropped little cards for http://www.bovineunite.com around campus (University of Maryland, College Park). My guess is a Tv show, due to the phrase "tune into the networks...". I dont think its PETA, theyre not this clever.
Posted by Tycho in College Park, MD on Mon Apr 18, 2005 at 11:35 AMHey! You too can fit in with this CD of genuine (or is that gen-yooou-ine) cow sounds...

I don't think it's PETA, it seems to much like a joke then actually people trying to free cows...
Oh, and if you see any more of them walking around, it said on the blog that the proper way to address them is moo-ooo...
I went to the website last night between 8:45 and 9 (Eastern) but nothing seemed to be different. Anyone else notice anything?

Well, people, tomorrow is the fifth of May.
I expect the moo-ther ship to land soon.

Yeah...but we won't know what's going on until 8:45-9pm, and there's no telling WHERE...so it might have already happened.
Posted by Maegan in Tampa, FL - USA on Thu May 05, 2005 at 07:45 AMThe Maryland Lottery? I never saw that coming...
Posted by Wally in La La Land on Thu May 05, 2005 at 05:22 PMWow... what a letdown...
Posted by Hew on Fri May 06, 2005 at 03:45 AMI heard about it on the radio...as being something really stupid...I guess they were right.
Posted by Maegan in Tampa, FL - USA on Fri May 06, 2005 at 06:52 AMI was awfully surprised to see how lame this actually turned out to be.
I was even kinda lookin forward to it. What a bummer.

Apparently this whole thing is a promo for the Maryland lottery.
