So, PETA, what of the rumors that Michael Vick will do some Public Service Announcements for your organization?

Not exactly dead, but PETA apparently has some groundrules. What say you, PETA?

"Nachminovitch, a PETA official who taught the Falcons quarterback during last month's course at the agency's Virginia headquarters, said Thursday there were no plans for him to do a public service announcement. In a statement e-mailed to the Journal-Constitution, PETA said: 'If Michael Vick went on TV and said, 'Look at me. I have lost everything --- my career, my income, respect, friends. I've hurt my family, and I am an object of scorn. My life is ruined. I have gone from being a star to the gutter, and now I'm going to jail. Don't be like me. If you fight dogs, stop. And if you don't, don't start,' we would be very pleased. 'Short of that, it's not happening.'"

Actually, that doesn't seem too onerous all things considered.

While we're on the subject of PSAs and Michael Vick, why stop at PETA? How about one for people living with STDs? Or one for people too stupid not to test positive for pot while awaiting federal sentencing? Frankly, there's a long list of potential causes that Vick now has ample time to lend his voice to.
