We've told you about some of the best iPhone apps for animals, such as guides to cruelty-free shopping and vegetarian dining. Now there's an app for those times when you just don't feel like speaking "vegan-ese" to your nonvegan friends: the vegan soundboard from quarrygirl.com. And the bonus? It's free!



Some of these vegan sound bites are simultaneously hilarious and embarrassing—it's good to know, for example, that just by pushing a "button" I can let people know about my obsessions with the PPK and the vegan mecca that is Portland (there's a vegan mini-mall, for goodness' sake!). But I shudder to think that I've ever demanded, "Do you have a separate fryer for your French fries?" (Seriously. Don't be that guy.)

iPhone devotees can download the app for free. For those of you who still carry flip phones, no worries. You can still play with the soundboard here.

If you were going to create your own vegan soundboard, what would you put on it?

What happens when a demented Ronald McDonald sits down with one of television's most befuddling interviewers? Visitors to Will Ferrell’s FunnyOrDie.com are finding out today. A bizarre PETA video just debuted featuring Martin Short’s Jiminy Glick character grilling a "fried" Ronald McDonald (Andy Dick) about the company’s slaughter practices.

While I'm excited about PETA's first FunnyOrDie exclusive (so much so that I'm going to get down on my knees and beg you to vote "Funny"), I'm even more thrilled that The PETA Files has the exclusive on the bonus feature.

So gather your senses after watching the full-length on FunnyOrDie and check out this little "bonus feature" for some more outré commentary from Ronald "They're Just Animals" McDonald.

Now doesn't that just make you want to head over to Facebook and join our "Not eating McDonald's" fan page?

Funny: Cartoons about cats on a lazy Sunday.

Not funny: Making jokes about barbecuing cats when you're supposed to be working.

We're relieved that the Federal Aviation Administration apparently agrees that making jokes at a dead animal's expense is inappropriate. It has removed the "jokester" from duty.

Inspired by the recent release of Carol Leifer's vegetarian testimonials, here are the 10 most knee-slapping, gut-busting, laugh-til-you-cry PSAs that PETA has to offer:

  1. Musician Kevin Eubanks—former World's Sexiest Vegetarian—is as sweet as strawberries.
  2. The king of improv, Fred Willard, struggles to name our spay-and-neuter campaign.
  3. Jewish, lesbian, or vegan? Comedic genius Carol Leifer is all three. Watch her gush about the pluses of a vegetarian diet.
  4. Legendary tennis champ John McEnroe shows his awesome sense of humor—and the importance of spaying and neutering.
  5. See "Brad Pitt" star in funnyman Kevin Nealon's veggie testimonial.
  6. Our scorching veggie vixens have a fetish for broccoli in "Veggie Love." Are you laughing or just blushing?
  7. A zucchini gets an "X" rating? It's hard to believe—until you see our "Sexy Sausage" ad.
  8. Phew! See what really stinks in PETA's "Litterbox" ad.
  9. Sex and the City's saucy Samantha Jones, played by Kim Catrall, seems like a meek kitten compared to the stars of "Sex and the Kitty."
  10. Our "Milk Gone Wild" ad was nixed from the lineup of Super Bowl ads. I suspect network executives didn't want breast-fixated male viewers to stress about their own milk-induced "doobs" (that's short for "dude boobs").

I admit that the order of this list was subjective, so why don't you leave a comment to tell us which PETA PSA you think is the funniest?
