PETA pisses-off people in Pensacola with "prince of peas" Passover promotion

PETA erected a billboard picturing Jesus Christ as the "Prince of Peas", just in time for Easter and Passover.  Local Christians were not amused.  (As anyone who has spent any time there knows, Pensacola is the buckle of the Bible-belt, and they don't have much tolerance for liberal PETA types.)  Interestingly, local Jews were also upset, pointing out the Christ, like any good Jew living back then, would have eaten meat on Passover.
