Ah, well, let the men be upset then. Yes, I have seen the men

preening themselves as well. It’s all a waste of energy and money just to

be “attractive.” True beauty comes from the inside and not the

outer appearance. Mother Teresa was beautiful. Gandhi had that inner beauty. Hair

gels, baggy shorts and cutsie goatees are just as clownish.

I live near the Wild Animal Park in San Diego county. Often I

will walk a 5 mile hike through that park and I can count the unpainted,

undyed, unsexed up females on one hand. Logically, it’s a small sample

but one that covers not only the US but foreign visitors as well. Young men are

often as you say but middle-aged and above are rarely “pimped up.”

Quite a few of the female keepers at the park choose not to wear

makeup. Their commitment to caring for the animals shows through as inner

beauty that no hairdo or makeup can equal.

PETA is doing good work. If we must get the attention of “idiots”

[your word] then we must attract them with their clowns. Lives are hanging in

the balance and if sex can save lives so be it.

As for me I am just one outspoken, rude, ugly committed son of a

bi___! Let’s quit quibbling over minor details and get something done!

for National Hot Dog Day

Hi Don

Your comment will also upset men! I find it

offensive, as the women in my life don't behave the way that you describe -

there is, of course, a proportion of women that do, but then there are also a

proportion of men who do body building, cover themselves in smells that they

think women will like, and take a long time doing their hair, in order to

attract women. So what - some people are idiots - does that mean we should

abuse everyone who has something in common with those idiots?

I happen to have the same genitalia as you,

but I'd hate to think that I'd be classified as sexist and racist (since you

also " can't talk to Americans " ) just because of that unfortunate

fact.

Sex and violence

drive most advertising campaigns. My next statement will probably upset the

female crowd but here goes. As long as women paint themselves up like clowns to

attract the opposite sex I have no problem with this kind of advertizing. When

the majority of women stop dying their hair (two two-tone striped skunk look is

now popular) and dressing up as if they were trying to get someone to buy them

dinner then I will condemn sexist ads. Until then, we must do whatever is

needed to try and stop the slaughter. I support PETA and wish females would

stop wasting money on boob jobs, makeup, perfume and the accoutrements of

sexual attraction and SPEND THEIR MONEY ON SAVING LIVES!

Most females I

know just don’t realize that men would be attracted to them if they wore

khaki’s and combat boots. We don’t need to be sold. Ask any guy

leaving a bar at 2PM and he will tell you the same.

I seriously doubt if campaigns like this turn people vegan,

but probably would get their attention more than normal people......its

appealing to the base instincts in men isnt it?

Now if they were vegan as well as models then that would be

different, as they would be able to show that there are vegan models out there,

but I doubt that they were........

all I ever find in my salads is insects.............

If they are going to use this approach, I don't understand why they

can't use real women. Not cartoon-like ones with plastic on their

chest. The important question would be however, if campaigns like this

actually turn people vegan?

Hi Don

My issue with PETA's method of advertising is this: they are campaigning for equal respect for all living creatures, something which I whole-heartedly agree with. However, I struggle to see how their message of equal respect can be taken seriously when they do not show equal respect in their advertising campaigns. What they are effectively saying is that, to them, human women are less worthy of respect than any other living being.

There are many evils in our world - I do what little I can to tackle as many of those as I can, and I don't to the view that it is acceptable to support one form of evil in order to combat another. The ends never justifies the means!
