Too bad the only way this woman can take a stand or make money is by taking off her clothes. There's only one message that sends, well maybe two, I'm only of value naked and the only way to take a woman seriously is by taking off her clothes. Both are crappy messages.
It's not the only way to take a stand but it is the way she has decided to do it. You have to admit that it gets people's attention. Anybody that thinks a beautiful body won't get somebody's attention is denying reality. All this whining about women not being taken seriously is a bunch of bunk.
What politics? Are there governments of countries directly involved in the fur trade? If not, then what does this have to do with politics? If she was protesting human rights violations in China, THEN we're talking politics. This is just your run of the mill protest.
Politics: The art or science of government or governing, especially the governing of a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs.
You obviously don't understand PETA....they want to regulate (govern) what you and I not only wear, but what we eat as well......take a good look at the organization and some of the lobbyists they employ.
So, you could say the biggest difference between the leather recliner or leather shoes and a fur is that when they kill the cow and skin it, they also use the remainder of the cow. When they kill the varmint/rodent/fox for a fur, that's the ONLY reason they kill it!
Yeah back in the old days....take a look at what they "Actually" do with most of the remains today......that perfume/cologne you're wearing....you would be amazed what is really in it. Dog food, cat food feed for animals at zoos and shelters.
Like the Indians of old....we are closer to using all pieces parts today then we ever have been.
Nudity (always of the lithe, beautiful variety) is practically PETA's campaign signature. "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" was the slogan I remember from a campaign featuring a whole bunch of supermodels. They do live events at stores sometimes the same way.
This "statement" reminds of a Playboy cartoon joke that I saw some 50+ years ago. It was a full page b&w drawing. The setting is obviously a hotel room. In the picture is a voluptuous blonde wearing a fur coat (the box it which it came in is lying open on the floor and her clothes are all over the floor.) There's an old, bald, fat, Sugar Daddy, standing there half nekked and the caption says, "What do you mean 'you love it so much you'll never take it off'?"
So when is Tracy going to start a "Amanda Beard-Amazing" thread so those of us who are haters and/or jealous can chime in on whether or not "airbrushing" is going on and if so what tests have been done to PROVE it and George can tell everyone its all a conspiracy??!! :banana:
Is "airbrushing" prohibited by FINA?
They certainly aren't "art." (Sorry, Stud, I know Raphael did nudes, but not this way.) This is advertising to sell a product and cash in.
OK You say it's not art. I say it is.
Art is used to sell (products and ideas). In fact, some gallery art even replicates commercial art. Or was Warhol just a conterfeiter?
