' ... a request they are unable to agree to.' That's how Pet Shop Boys politiely declined the invitation, from an animal rights campaign group, to change their name.

    Will,
    this could actually be a first.

    You might be advised to remove the whole article!!

    If the animal rights group knew where the Pet Shop Boys actually derived their name, they would be doing a lot more than simply asking them to change it.

    The name is a reference to a group of people in New York and a sexual practice involving gerbils.

    While I am against censorship, you may want to think about removing this particular thread.

    In response to the request, they should have changed their name...to LD-50.

    These Peta kooks come out of the cracks in the wall. Somebody turn on the lights so they'll scurry back inside.
