By Ben Popken on October 3, 2011 2:00 PM  
Today PETA sent a case of soy milk to Beckerman Public Relations CEO Keith Zakheim, who last week generated buzz for sending around an email that threatened to fire the next person in the office who finishes the milk in the staff refrigerator without replacing it.

Not that any happened to this monkey, just to monkeys before it. In any event, in the revised version Dodge complied and digitally erased the monkey in the track suit.... but now there's just a disembodied suit walking over and pressing the dynamite lever. Dexter's Michael C. Hall monotones in the voiceover, "Oh wait, there's an invisible monkey." Hilarity! More »

The Suck Site Review: MilkSucks.com
By consumerist.com on December 6, 2005 3:15 PM

(Science Note: 'Mastitis' as a term for 'massive tit disease' is just shy of brilliant.)  More »
