PETA Pulls A Presidential No-No!

0105-peta-ad.jpg

In metro stations all around Washington D.C., this poster featuring First Lady Michelle Obama and some other famous faces grace a poster as part of PETA's "Make D.C. Fur-Free" campaign.

Only problem is, PETA never asked the White House if it was cool to use her photo.Now, the organization is coming under fire for using her likeness.

But fear not! PETA knows exactly how to weasel out of this - they're going to kiss ass!

When asked for a statement regarding the campaign and the First Lady, PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said:

"We haven't asked the White House to fund or promote the campaign, as they can't do such things, but the fact is that Michelle Obama has issued a statement indicating that she doesn't wear fur, and the world should know that in PETA's eyes, that makes her pretty fabulous."

Nice touch! We're sure that will make everything alright now!

In retrospect, we think they're just lucky they didn't piss Oprah off. Sure, Michelle husband is President of the free world, but who got him there to begin with?!

      PETA is an irritation!!!! Anyone who supports PETA is a left-wing nut. An organization that thinks it's wrong for people to have animals as pets is a shit-hole organization. WHAT ABOUT ELDERLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE PETS AS COMPANIONS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ONE? Does PETA think it's wrong from them to have pets, even if they take care of them?! Yes, they do! Also, this woman, Ingrid, has no sympathy for starving children but thinks traditional farming practices are barbaric. She's a moron. Doesn't she know that on traditional farms, cows are raised on fields where they can eat all the grass they want, chickens are raised in sheds that allow light in and they can peck all they want, and pigs are raised in the open where they can root?!! These animals are treated humanely, and are slaughtered in a very humane way so that they feel no pain. Starving children are dying by the dozens each day because of disease, famine and corrupt governments ethnically cleansing their populations. Maybe this woman should crawl under a rock, and DIE!!!!

      "Sure, Michelle husband is President of the free world, but who got him there to begin with?!

      It sure as shit wasn't Oprah you idiot. It was millions of Americans that gave money, time, blood sweat and tears. Do you really need a lesson on this or should I send you to the Schoolhouse Rock archive to show how a democratic republic works by sending people to both houses? Come on, you say you have a college degree, you should maybe start sing it.



    11. 11

      Isn’t that a LEATHER skirt that Oprah is wearing? That’s a big PETA no, NO!! Perez…you should have picked up on that!!! but i still heart you:)



    12. 12

      The fact the First Lady said she doesn't wear furs DOES NOT give the right to use her image for the campaign . PETA is wrong . They should ask for permission .



    13. 13

      yeah, but how many of any of these women's designer duds are made in sweatshops by tiny underaged hands. gimme an effing break.

      peta is run by greedy people(I wont say what race they are, but who do we equate with greed) and they themselves contribute to animals deaths over at peta.



    15. 15

      PETA aside, Michelle Obama being fur-free is the only thing I like about this Presidency.



    16. 16

      Ummm, is Oprah's skirt leather??



    17. 17

      HA! Free world! You're too funny:)



    18. 18

      … Oprah might not be wearing fur … but she sure is wearing a leather skirt in that pic …



    19. 19

      FUCK PETA! Wear fur!!!!!!!!!!



    20. 20

      I love Animals but I hate PETA, they are a bunch of self centered loosers that don't think of animals!



    21. 21

      Michelle Obama looks like a fur wearing primate. A real one!



    22. 22

      Peta is so corrupt and hypocritical. I wonder if celebrities who "support" them actually know anything about PETA.



    23. 23

      The people who VOTED FOR HIM got Obabma where he is today.



    24. 24

      Petatards are lowest scum on the earth. This is nothing more than a domestic terrorist organization that lies, vandalizes and kills. The fact that Messiah Dumbama does not stop these filthy people from using his communist wife as an advertising tool shows how morally bankrupt the Messiahs administration really is.



    25. 25

      I hate fur
      But I hate PETA more.
      They kill more animals
      than they save !!!

      Re: johnnydepprules
      - Your'e so right. I have no clue how you could say something so messed up Perez.



    27. 27

      Obama got himself where he is! Have you seen Oprah these days, by the way? Oprah wishes she was Michelle, Stedman aint no Barack!!!



    28. 28

      Good!
      I love Michelle Obama ..
      I hate fur ..
      PETA isn't always right, but I admire most of their efforts.

      Do you have any idea how offensive flaming bigots are?
      Look in the mirror.



    30. 30

      I'M SO HAPPY THAT PETA HAS THIS MANY HATERS, IT JUST MEANS THEY ARE GETTING THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE! You might hate 'em but you definitely know about them, and one day they'll rule the world hopefully and it will be YOU that gets chained up outside in the freezing cold or sent to slaughter to feed the aliens! SO THERE! PETA MAKES ME PROUND THEY PISS SO MANY PEOPLE OFF! It just means they gots the power baby! TO ALL THE HATERS, I'm sticking my proverbial tongue out at you and saying "nah nee nah nee nah nah!" MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAH!!! XOXOXOO



    31. 31

      Re: petaisstupid – Sounds like you know very little about PETA. :) Quit competing for animals rights when you have rights as a human already. Why are you competing with the animals? What's your agenda anyway, I don't get it?



    32. 32

      lol, has anyone noticed that Oprah has a leather skirt on in that photo ?



    33. 33

      WTF?!??! Oprah got him there…maybe I read that wrong, because that is pure foolishness! It was wrong for PETA to use them, but its not THAT bad! And, I honestly DON'T think people should wear fur, but PETA members are extremists!



    34. 34

      Re: bullokio – What's your point? This isn't about leather it's about fur. There not the same thing, and not made in the same way. HOWEVER, that's a mighty fine cause you're taking up and I'm all for banishing leather too!!! Thanks for pointing that out!



    35. 35

      what's wrong with Tyra's head, she looks like an alien



    36. 36

      yeah… i'm a democrat and i have a [vintage] mink. eff with me.



    37. 37

      PETA = crazy. They should have asked for permission to use Michelle Obama's image in their campaign. Kissing her ass by calling her "fabulous" doesn't make up for what they did.



    38. 38

      Re: Pinkasaurus – Oh yes it does!!! They're totally let off the hook with that good kiss ass session! Good job PETA, WORK IT GIRL!!!!

      time for you to leave your parent's basement and get a job fuckface. Oh wait you're a true blooded liberal who is habitually unemployed.



    42. 42

      PETA is a useless, hypocritical POS org that kills animals - google "PETA kills" and you'll see for yourself.

      As far as Michelle Obama goes - she happens to have a fox-fur trimmed parka (YES, it's real) and wore a full-length mink when she lived in Chicago that she has since retired to be more PC.

      Hypocrites and liars - they deserve each other.



    43. 43

      I am proud to be a vegan! I just don't think it's fair… If we could cut em up, eat em, and wear em WHY CAN'T WE HAVE SEX WITH THEM? I mean seriously think about this it's not fair… I refuse to participate in any of these acts until we are allowed the freedom of interspecial relationships… Who's with me?
