A New Name for Manchester Community College?

I can’t think why, but apparently, the good folks at New Hampshire Community Technical College-Manchester have grown unhappy with their institution’s name. I guess it’s possible that they thought it was a bit on the boring side. Or perhaps just a teensy bit unwieldy?
Either way, as of last week, their long wait for an exciting new moniker is over, since the kindhearted souls in PETA’s Vegan Campaigns Department had a little brainstorming session and decided to offer them this striking suggestion:
It has a real ring to it, doesn’t it? Something about the alliteration, maybe. If they like our idea, not only will NHCTC students be able to hold their heads high with the knowledge that their school finally has a genuinely interesting name, but they’ll be sending a strong message that their progressive institution opposes cruelty to animals in all its forms. Plus, in case they need an incentive beyond the good they’ll be doing for the chickens abused for KFC’s restaurants, I can assure them that name changes like that tend to get a whole lot of publicity …
You can read our letter to the school here. We haven’t heard back from them yet for some reason, but I’ll let you know when we do.

This is a great letter.
I can hardly wait for their response.
Way to go PETA

Seriously, this is ridiculous. I can understand wanting publicity and to inform people, but this is just stupid.

They're both bad names ANYWAY!

While i am a huge PETA supporter, i donot think this is a good idea. It sets PETA up as a bit of a joke, and while i completely agree with the kentuckyfriedcruelty campaign even i think the name is a bit silly
