I love their cd, but I'm so sick of their lovey-dubby-ness. We get it, you love each other, now stop making me puke.

I understand anti-fur campaigners, but I think that their enthusiasm is misguided.
Buying diamonds supports conflicts in West and South West Africa. The sale of diamonds has fueled conflict in Liberia, Angola, Sierra Leone and other countries for more than 20 years. And here you have this lot screaming about baby seals.
I think Joe Strummer said it best
"This is Radio Clash...Please save us, not the whales"
You make the call? You can stay warm in the winter with a nice mink coat OR bling bling and shine while kids are running around armless in Sierra Leone.
And don't drop any of that bullshit about "conflict free" diamonds. It's incredibly easy to launder blood diamonds through a third party country and then ship them off to Dubai. Moreover, the Kimberly Process, which was creatd to track the movement of diamonds from the mine to the display case, is ineffective because it lacks a viable enforcement mechanism.
I'm sorry but anti-fur activists tend to be comically narrow-minded. I just can't fall for their bullshit.

ok. so how about we don't buy fur AND we don't buy diamonds? that should stop climate change and halt the catastrophic loss of global biodiversity.

what does being anti-fur have to do with being anti-diamond?
Just because someone has compassion for animals doesn't mean they don't have compassion for humans.
Fur is evil. So is genocide, war, famine, dimaonds, etc..
You're so against diamonds. Why don't you tell us what you're doing about it besides making it clear to everyone on this message board that you saw Leonardo DiCaprio's last movie?
Your argument seems to be that sticking up for animals is worse than doing nothing at all for anyone or anything.

Dear Anonymous
I did an extensive essay on the Kimbery Process about three years ago. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Government and Politics Department at University of Maryland and ask around for Professor Kim.
Unlike some morons in internet-land, I don't get all my information from movies. Besides, I didn't see Blood Diamond because it's a pile of Hollywood rubbish. What idiot cast Leonardo DiCaprio as a "Rhodesian." The directors should've scouted Zimbabwe and South Africa for someone who had the accent for real.
Moreover, I feel like it's legit to make a comparision between diamonds and fur. They're both luxury items that are consumed mostly by wealthy people from industrialized countries. Perhaps I was wrong in trying to compare the suffering of animals to the suffering of women and children in West Africa.
I'm upset primarily because activists have neglected diamonds for a long time, despite the fact that the effects are tangible and visible on a decent cable news network or newspaper.

Wouldn't the ad be more effective if they used people that are actually known? Seriously, Mates of States? Have they even sold 50K albums?

I think it's funny how she doesn't trust him enough to cover her chest and puts her hands up there as well.

Some of you are on crack... she's smokin' hot.

Colonel K, you gotta pick your battles. Mates of State and Paul McCartney can save the seals, and you and Leonardo can go help the people of West Africa.
It's completely moronic to think that activism for some other cause could have even the slightest negative impact on the cause that you have chosen to champion.
Maybe instead of trashing people that are making an effort, you could try making an effort yourself.

Kori has a nice booty too, if anyone has noticed. ;P

Personally, I'd rather wear fur than go naked. Fortunately, there's that "normal clothes" option.
I never liked this ad campaign.
Posted by Anonymous | March 1, 2007 9:14 PM
wait, how has no one mentioned how ridiculous this PETA2 website is??
It says, "Question Authority" in the upper right corner, features a Fall-Out Boy flash game, and features a "P.I.M.P. Quiz"? What the hell?
I applaud them for aiming so carefully at the 12-year-old demographic, but there's a lot of awfully clumsy pandering over there.

Why is it that protestors, on any subject, have to sign their comments anonymously?
