           Norfolk, VA - On the heels of their "Got
              Beer?" program which discouraged the use of dairy products,
              PETA announced today their new "Got Acid?" campaign.  PETA
              hopes to slow the resurgent popularity of licking toads for their
              hallucinogenic properties.  
           A PETA spokeswoman went
            on to explain that toad licking is often traumatic, harmful, and
            sometimes fatal---For the toads.  "Instead we find LSD
            is a much better animal free alternative.  We know the toad
            licking lobby is powerful, but the message needs to be heard." 
          PETA has been setting up booths on college campuses nationwide from
            which they distribute informational pamphlets and samples of acid.  "We
            put the LSD on these little toady stickers. Now you can lick the
            toad without harming an animal.   Isn't that just adorable," said
            PETA volunteer Yolanda Wright.  The pamphlets encourage people
            to find out the position of both local and national candidates on
            toad licking before casting their ballot in November. 
          From the swamps of south Florida, toad licker Francis Franklin said, "PETA
            is spreading more lies.  Toad licking lets people commune with
            nature, and when done properly doesn't harm the toad. LSD just doesn't
            give as intense hallucinations as toad licking.  PETA can take
            my toad away when they tear it from my cold dead lips." 
          Franklin proposes more education on the proper techniques of toad
            licking, instead of an outright ban.  "We must get to children
            early because bad habits are hard to break."
