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?!
