| Quote: | A young animal rights activist from Indiana once known as Karin Robertson has legally changed her name to that of a Web site run by her employer, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
It's not a first name or a last name - just one name. And don't call her ``Veg'' or ``Dot,'' as some have tried to do.
``I like the whole name together,'' says the 23-year-old woman who is a youth educator for PETA and living in Norfolk, Virginia, where the organization is based.
The point, she says, isn't necessarily to promote PETA, where her bosses were as surprised as anyone when she came to them with the idea this past spring.
She says she made the switch to get people talking about vegetarianism and animal rights wherever she pulls out her new driver's license - at the airport, the bank or anyplace else. |
I say we start a pool, and the first person who get there name legally changed to Realpoor.com get it ........

I say we start a pool, the person to bring back her face and her drivers license for identification purposes get's the bills.
