PETA Protest

So I'm driving home after dropping my son off at school and the news comes on the radio. The announcer is talking about a protest today in my fair city, put on by PETA, that is to take place today at 12:00 noon where they are going to have two young ladies showering at the head of King street to protest the excessive amount of water used during the cleaning of beef in plants. A banner is going to be used to cover their "unmentionables" as my ten-year-old would call them, but in the words of the oh-so-intelligent sounding girl that was interviewed "Let's just say we plan on being as naked as we are legally allowed" Their goal is to bring awareness and discussion. Now really PETA, is this really the best thing you guys could think up to bring awareness to your cause? Do you honestly believe those watching are gonna think Hmmmm......maybe vegan is the way to go or they gonna be thinking HEY HUNNY LET'S SEE SOME T&A. Did someone slip something into your salads to make you think that this was a great idea to bolster support for your cause? I wonder if the person who came up with this brilliant campaign was also the same dumbass who came up with the billboard campaign posted in two Canadian cities in 2004 that featured a photo of a woman and a pig head side by side, with the slogan "Neither of us is meat" made in reference to the Picton trial in BC where he killed many women and then fed their remains to his pigs.

While this blog may be part of your goal of "opening up discussion", it boggles my mind that your organization fails to see that campaigns such as this do not bring attention to you that brings more into your way of thinking but rather it pushes people away cause your way of bringing attention makes the cause itself a big joke.
