If you're trolling the Internet on this, the Friday before the Tuesday after Christmas, biding your time till the boss finally caves and sends you home early, and looking for some quality reading, check this out.

An excerpt...

PETA would like to offer a lifetime supply of cruelty-free hand cream to any NBA siss … excuse me, superstar who’d be willing to give the composite ball another shot. Recreational players and NCAA athletes have been using composite balls for years without experiencing scratches or scrapes—but we understand that the delicate hands of pampered NBA superstars are far more sensitive than those of your average Joe who actually has to work for a living. The hand cream comes in a variety of scents, including “Filthy Rich Organic” (perfect for any overpaid millionaire) and “Peaceful Patchouli”—Nash, we have a whole case of that set aside for you. Maybe by taking care of your own skin a bit better, you can allow cows who would otherwise meet their end in the slaughterhouse to keep theirs.

In reading the entire letter you'll discover the reason behind the biting sarcasm, but the long and short of it is the NBA (National Basketball Association) switched to composite (read non-leather) balls this year and lots of people complalined. So, them that make the decisions regarding ball choice gave up the ghost and switched BACK to leather balls.

PETA was none to happy.

Despite, PETA showed some serious balls in their response regarding the ball debacle by not only penning the letter, but making it oh-so public.

Oh to live and work in a world where people ACTUALLY say what they're really thinking, the bottom line be damned.

I don't know anyone personally working for PETA, but they strike me as pretty smart and savvy individuals.

Plus, they've got a good sense of humor, made me laugh, care about animals, and aren't afraid of ANYONE (even seven-foot tall giants.)

Jingle balls, jingle balls, jingle all the way...
