PETA has never been one to let clothes get in the way of a good protest, and this Holiday season is no exception. In Philadelphia this Wednesday, a few lovely PETA ladies let the folks over at Burberry know that they’d rather go naked than wear fur. For anyone who is particularly literal-minded, I should … Read more »
Wonkette just reported on a leaked NRA manifesto (in comic-strip form, no less) entitled “Freedom in Peril,” which outlines the greatest threats to gun-toting NRA members who apparently can’t even allow their children outside unarmed for fear that they’ll be accosted by tree-hugging hippies and made to live in a commune. The whole thing is … Read more »
The AP reported last week that Macy’s has pulled two styles of Sean John hoodies following an investigation by the Humane Society which revealed that they contained fur from raccoon dogs, despite the fact that they were being advertised as faux fur. A spokesman for the store talked about its “long-standing policy against the selling … Read more »
Diddy flaunting his dead animal coat When Diddy promised to remove the raccoon dog fur coats which were mislabeled as “faux” from his store and stop production of the cruel garments, some people began to think that the rapper might actually care about something other than bling. Now it appears that they might have … Read more »
A coworker sent me the photos below today. I lost the e-mail that included info about what the hell was going on—but I’m pretty sure it involved saving animals’ lives with help, of course, from our busty friends down at the precinct. The Fashion Police precinct that is! So here’s the deal. Even if I … Read more »
This photo was just too good to pass up. The caption, courtesy of The Commercial Appeal reads: “Busted by PETA “fashion police” wearing naughty pleather cop costumes at Adams and Main Wednesday, Dennis Abernathy proclaimed “I’m guilty, arrest me” and miniskirted Monika Meilleur of Durham, N.C., obliged.” The full article, which actually contains info about … Read more »
The footage isn’t the highest quality in this video of our recent POM Horrible campaign launch, but it interests me because it’s a great example of how the technology helps with the flow of information (and if you watch the full video you’ll see it gets better at the end). That’s a no-brainer of course, … Read more »
What’s this? Another e-card!?! What a wonderful time of year. Click here to send to a friend. Actually, I have a question just for you, my loyal blogoreader. Out of all of our holiday e-cards, which did you like the most or forward on (aside from the one I wrote and sang of course)?
I don’t know why people keep sending me pictures of scantily clad girls, but as long as they do I’ll keep posting them. Here’s what rock star activist Ashley Fruno has to say about her demo yesterday: “It was REALLY cold (only 32 degrees, but snowing really hard), we cut the demo off after an … Read more »
I’m not quite prepared to kiss and make up with Madonna after December’s chinchilla coat debacle, but it does seem like she’s beginning to make some efforts to quench her bloodlust a little bit—starting with a commitment to stop shooting at birds. Under the compassionate influence of her good friend Stella McCartney, Madonna has evidently … Read more »
There are a few good ways to get people thinking about the fur issue. You can wear a T-shirt with an anti-fur slogan, hand out leaflets and information outside fur stores, and bring up the topic in casual conversation. Or, if you’re the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in Paris, you can just wrap a big ol’ … Read more »
My New Year’s resolution this year is to finally cancel the membership to my gym, which I enrolled in around this time last year in a fit of optimism and utter lunacy. The people at my gym are notoriously cunning, and last time I went there to try and end things, I walked out with … Read more »
Getty Images A few days ago, Eva Longoria (of Desperate Housewives fame) was heckled in London—where she was launching the Harrods’ Winter Sale—for her nasty habit of draping herself in dead animals. For people who do care about animals, Eva’s track-record has been pretty abysmal. In an interview last year, she told Oprah that she … Read more »
KFC employees who are used to seeing PETA’s crippled chicken hobbling across the street or watching Colonel Sanders burned in effigy in front of their restaurants are in for a pleasant surprise: The KFC Campaign is finally going naked, with our brand-new “Naked Truth” demonstrations. The bad news for the company is, unfortunately, that the … Read more »
