Howard Stern Loves PETA, Hates SeaWorld

On Wednesday, “King of All Media” Howard Stern played a news item on his radio show about PETA’s anti-SeaWorld Comic-Con ad. Afterward, he and co-host Robin Quivers had a few choice words for SeaWorld. “It certainly cannot be right to take a whale, a giant whale, and put him in a swimming pool-type existence,” Stern said. “I mean, it sounds horrible. It’s a terrible thing. I am against it. And I support PETA in this.”

In other celebrity news:
