‘Octomom’ paid $5K to tout pet birth control
Sign in front yard of octuplet mom’s home says, ‘Always spay or neuter’


LA HABRA, Calif. - Octuplets mom Nadya Suleman is unveiling a banner outside her Southern California home reading, "Don't Let Your Dog or Cat Become an Octomom. Always Spay or Neuter."

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is paying Suleman $5,000 to display the sign in her La Habra front yard. As an added incentive, the animal rights group is throwing in a month's supply of veggie burgers and veggie hot dogs for Suleman and her 14 children.

PETA executive Tracy Reiman says the single mother plans a brief statement.

3. Ummmm, something about breast feeding, an uncircumcised pit bull, and the Olive Garden.
That's all I've got.

2. Good. Glad she's doing something positive with her notoriety.
$5k isn't gonna go far with 14 kids, so I don't begrudge her getting paid.

7. Now I get it - I thought this would be a really bad campaign for an actual company,
but it makes sense for PETA. Pretty funny, although it could be construed as a bit demeaning to OM and her kids...

I hope she's got a good agent.
