    Wow, that's quite a measuring stick there. Doesn't that rationale apply to any special interest group? Heck, so using your standard, the 'Got Milk' ads are political statements too? And the 'Beef, it's what for dinner' folks? When is the last time you saw someone from Wendy's, Burger King or McD's throughing *** on someone that wouldn't live they way they thought they should? Or threw blood on someone because they could? Most non-Peta types have a real life and just want to be left alone.

Can I? Huh? Huh? Pleeeeeaaaaasssseeee??????

    The first good yuck I had all day was when I read that Peter was posting nude. Did you have to remind us, just as I had -almost- managed to erase that picture out of my mind?

    That's it! I knew you would toss Warhol in my face. You're getting too predictable. Almost ready for the AARP card, then? Warhol's art was not about the image, it was about the idea. He wasn't selling products (aside from himself), he was making fun of them. As you know. All right, we can distinguish between fine art and "art" -- which apparently covers everthing in the world including your SAHD bead thingie! Art is an individual thing. I can't stand Damien Hirst's work but if someone get the message then I guess that's up to them. Me I'd rather spend hours looking at something by Ansell Adams. There more important things to worry about in the country, nay world, right now than Amanda's knockers--magnificent as they may be. :oldman:

    So, this is Ok for her to do? So it's Ok to allow the Olympics to be used to further ones political and personal values? I say shut up and compete.....don't rightly care what others think should or shouldn't be done with animals......that is definitely not why I am watching the games. As I sit in my nice comfortable LEATHER recliner. Yes, I think it is not only courageous to do so, but also any conscious person's ethical imperil to speak out against injustice. As I said before, we respectfully disagree.
