Picking On PETA – Sea Kittens, Baby Seals, and Cannibalism
PETA is such an easy target. When I’m not feeling creative, I just have to see what “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals” is up to. I took a look at the PETA website, and honestly, I think PETA has officially gone off their rocker with the latest batch of activism “marketing”. Here are the latest development in the “Animal Rights” movement.
Parents Protest the New Dora the Explorer for “Tweens”
Parents are pissed at the new “Dora” that Mattel is now hawking with her trendy new fashions and new habits – another innocent and playful childhood icon has fallen under the target of mass consumerism and drooling marketing agencies, clamouring for a piece of that Dora the Explorer money pot!
Police Preparing for Violent G20 Protests
People are really pissed about the economy. Well, of course. It sort of makes me scratch my head though, because I’m not sure if the people protesting really have any better answers than our silly bureaucrats, bean counters, and politicians making decisions. I’m also not sure if the people protesting really know what they’re protesting, or why they’re protesting it other than they’re angry about lost jobs and bailouts.
Red Bull Protests Competition in Australian Grand Prix
Red Bull is protesting the bodywork of three of its competitors that are exploiting “loopholes” in the new regulations for its Grand Prix racers competiting in the Australian Formula One Grand Prix races starting on Sunday. They’re counting on the “scrutineering” to be found that these cars do not fit the regulations.
Nude Models in Paris Protest for Higher Pay
Nude models in France are upset. I suppose I would be too if I were standing naked in the cold in front of a Government building. But I must say, nothing gets me more excited than a nude protest. If I had my way we’d all be naked, all the time. Clothes are for wusses.
But what is the reason that has sparked the protest? France, for some stupid reason, decided to ban tips for nude artists and models. Nude models now have the backing of two Unions supporting their fight for more money.
She said an average wage of 10 euros ($13) an hour for posing sessions that often lasted around three hours was inadequate. She added that models, classified officially as “special diverse personnel,” wanted clearer professional recognition.
“It is a profession, it’s tiring. Because it’s physical, you need a lot of endurance and it’s also expressive,” she said.
I mean, really France. Posing nude for $13 an hour is unacceptable wages for honest, hard work. Especially for something as taxing as nude modeling. Have you seen their resumes? They’re filled with all of the hard work these models put into their jobs – countless hours of standing, sitting, and putting clothes on and off.
France, you have always sucked and now you suck even worse. Let’s be logical and compare nude modeling to all of the super-easy, mindless and stress-free jobs that also pay up to $13 an hour. I believe these speak for themselves about how hard and taxing that nude modeling is:
1) Wal-Mart Customer Service Counter
2) UPS Truck Loader
3) Landscaper
4) McDonald’s Manager
5) Cable TV Guy
6) Babysitter
7) Grocery Store Bagger
Diner Waitress
So France, you mean to tell me that your models aren’t working hard enough to earn more than $13 an hour? We like naked people, they’re fun to look at. Give these models their tips!
