Peta's new fur ad with Olympian Amanda Beard going nekkid.

I posted this in the activist forum, hopefully they heeded my warning before clicking on the ad in the link:

Even I wasn't prepared :cry:

1. There's a thread in GD just starting now, as well.

2. Good for Omaha Steve, unfortunately

some of those comments will get that thread locked. What a'holes. Steve's such a compassionate progressive and always on top of the issues that matter!

Let's give him some love and ignore those jerks. :hi:

3. He is, I agree.

Any PETA thread is destined for flamewar status. Regardless of validity or worth of PETA's action.

4. Came over from GD -

Can't believe some of the jerk comments there. Always amazes me that even here on DU you get the neanderthal reactions when it comes to animals. :-(

5. I think the DuZy Awards ruined DU.....

I've been here long enough, that the "jerk" responses always look like an audition for a DuZy. Sigh.

On any topic.

6. What a novel concept.

:boring:

If I was a donor, I'd be pissed that they'd been paying their ad agency/dept 20 years for the same idea. It's not attention getting anymore, if it ever was, so it's not effective.
