PETA vs. Pet Shop Boys

A bizarre request, undoubtedly, was sent by PETA to the great Pet Shop Boys, asking the band to change its name to "The Rescue Shelter Boys" in an attempt to raise awareness for the issue of abandoned and mistreated pets. The Boys declined the plea, although they were very kind about it and did express their compassion to the cause.

Somehow, it just wouldn't feel right to listen to "The Rescue Shelter Boys"... If nothing else, imagine how that song would sound with all the extra syllables... (not even Robbie can make it work with the new name:)
