In the interest of preventing my inbox from being bombarded with emails about strange noises omitting from the downtown area tomorrow, I present you with this information: beginning at noon on Friday, PETA will be protesting meat-eaters who are helping kill the planet tomorrow at 601 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. From a press release:

Blasting the unmistakable sound of passing gas and holding a sign that reads, “An ‘Inconvenient Toot’: Meat = Climate Change,” PETA’s outraged “cow” will protest outside a D.C. steak house at a busy intersection.

“It’s time for meat-eaters to mooove over if we want to save the planet,” says PETA’s Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman.

So, in short: PETA’s going to be projecting “unmistakable” making fart sounds during lunch. We assume that when they say “steak house,” the organization means The Capital Grille, but hey, The Source by Wolfgang Puck serves plenty of meat too, and they’re right next door. No word on when a counter-protest against press releases that go a little too overboard on the puns will be.
