Well, I think that Peta is symbolic of all things that are right in this world.
Good lord gentlemen, this isn't a question of "pop culture" and the knowledge of, or lack thereof. THIS is about Peta, for cryin' out loud.
...and I'm not too proud to admit that I had my wife let me know when Peta was up next to dance, and I would then put down the work that I brought home from the office, to watch Peta dance. Yes, if more people took the time to familiarize themselves with Peta ... we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today.
If it weren't for Peta, I'd have fretted throughout the competition about a high ankle sprain for the guy Peta was dancing with. As it turned out ... Peta probably saved the guy from said high ankle sprain because she's ... well ... because she's Peta.
In summation, I like Peta.
