Even more dumb name changes – activist named after web site
You know, there are times we couldn’t make this stuff up if we tried. And why should we make it up when there is more than enough of “teh crazy” to go around? There are all kinds of crazy name-changing stories. Here’s one more for you.
Ah, remember what it’s like to be 19-years-old? So idealistic and ready to change the world? And maybe just a wee bit misguided.
Jennifer Thornburg of Asheville, North Carolina decided to change her name to reflect her activism for animal cruelty. She was an intern recently for PETA. And that group runs a particular activist site: CutoutDissection. So she named herself after the site.
You can call her “Cutout” for short.
Thornburg, er, Cutout graduated from high school this past spring. Her reasons for the name change? To raise awareness about animal dissection in the classroom. She helped establish a dissection-choice policy at her high school.
And the girl realizes this odd name may limit future school and career opportunities. But she’s willing to take that risk for the sake of the animals. She says the animals suffer so much more than she will with a silly little ole name change. She just wants the animals to live a better life.
Um, honey? The animals don’t suffer in high school biology class. They’re dissected when they’re dead.
