Evidently some people on staff at the St. Paul Pioneer Press have realized that their annual contest has led to some questionable treatment of fluffy little marshmallow creatures, and so they're leading a PETA-like campaign to raise awareness about the cruel abuses the contest has inspired. Art? Or torture? You decide.

Cute enough... but, really Pioneer Press? We don't have enough real news stories to report? How much of your resources went into this story... went into CREATING news? As if there were a drought of real issues to talk about.
