Vegetarian Star

PETA has many foes and counting.

Their latest enemies include those offended by their Valentine’s Day display of two women kissing and showing affection to promote their “Vegetarians Make Better Lovers” campaign.

Since having to walk pass the display of lesbian affection that took place last week, numerous people have complained, including gays and lesbians.

According to politics.randomplayground.net, one blogger wrote in dismay, “All this little love fest shows is that lesbian relationships need validation and that women exist to titillate the sexual fantasies of men.”

The gay and lesbian blog, After Ellen, had this to say:

“PETA is placating to the stereotypical straight male fantasy that two women can’t wait for a big, burly man to come in and finish the job, or in this case, a big, burly broccoli-loving man. Sorry, PETA, but your latest stunt makes me hungry for a Big Mac.”

Fox News has proven it’s not a fan of PETA, as the station has aired programs with the anchors poking fun of the group, such as eating Kentucky Fried Chicken while making fun of their campaigns.

The station recently featured a PETA spokesperson to discuss the Veggie Love campaign. When the Fox anchor asked if PETA’s sexual gimmicks were an effective ad campaign, the PETA spokesperson cited numerous evidence that their campaigns worked, including people walking away with Vegetarian Starter Kits, and downloading vegetarian recipes after watching the NBC rejected Super Bowl ad on their website.

In all fairness, the viewers might have thought the links led to more porn, versus vegetarian info.

Seriously, though. Is PETA getting riskier and riskier with these sexual ad campaigns? In the beginning, there were nude, but still artful and tasteful photos of celebrities proclaiming to shun fur and embrace the meatless lifestyle. Now the group has progressed to veggie porn videos and public displays of lesbian affection, that even some lesbians find offensive.

Watch the video to view the interview between Fox and PETA. Should PETA start cleaning up its act or risk losing credibility?

Not long ago, PETA saved a 120 year old lobster from becoming dinner in a restaurant. The group plans to return it to the sea. However, there have been problems booking his transportation.

The original plan was to ship the lobster from New York to New Hampshire via UPS. However, when the UPS driver arrived to pick up “Craig the Crustacean”, it was revealed the driver could not guarantee a safe ride for him because other boxes could be placed on top of him.

In the words of Stephanie Tanner from Full House, “How rude!”

Imagine living 120 years of life and barely missing the boiling hot water tank, on your way to freedom, only to be squashed by parcels of grandma’s stale cookies and sweaters and underwear mom sent Jack to his college dorm.

Craig’s not going out like that.

“The UPS man wasn’t compassionate at all,” said Ng, owner of the Japanese restaurant at which Craig is currently lodging. “I just thought, there’s no way we can leave him with this guy. We can’t trust him. It’s horrible.”

A volunteer is expected to transport Craig this Friday.

Paris Hilton is known for many things, but being vegetarian is not one of them.

However, USA Today printed an article recently wishing her a Happy Birthday, and the article said Paris was a vegetarian.

We guess along with pescetarian and flexitarian, there are now beef and pork slider vegetarians, as that’s what she was seen eating not along ago.

Either vegetarians are becoming more like some churches, changing the rules faster than lightening in order to attract and retain more members or someone picked up some incorrect information.

We suspiciously think there was some Clint Eastwood vegan urban legendness to this mistake.

The website, ParisHiltonZone.com, claims that Paris became vegetarian after watching a video on animal cruelty provided to her by Heather Mills.

“From that point I’ve never worn fur and I never will.”I also haven’t eaten any meat since. I just survive on pasta and stuff like that. I was grossed out. It was disgusting.”

Maybe Paris was a veg at one time, however short lived. Or maybe she’s a flexitarian?

Giving credit where it’s due, mom Kathy Hilton did buy Paris a faux fur for Christmas instead of the real thing, so maybe Paris at least isn’t down with wearing something that came from one of her chihuahua Tinkerbell’s cousins.

In a sad, sad story where no one came out the winner, a chimpanzee has been shot to death after mauling a friend of his owner.

The chimp named Travis had starred in Coca-Cola and Old Navy commercials and also appeared on television pilots.

Travis had been cared for by owner Sandra Herold, and he was considered a pet and family member who would go along for car rides and open doors for people.

When Travis attacked Herold’s friend, she stabbed him in an attempt to get him to stop. When police arrived on the scene, Travis began attacking them too, and the chimp was eventually shot dead.

So many celebrities have spoken out against having wild animals like chimps as pets, as well as using them on television, most recently with actress Anjelica Huston protesting the use of apes in the entertainment industry. Perhaps if Travis had been sent to an animal sanctuary, no blood would have been shed.

Watch the video below for the clips from an Old Navy commercial Travis starred in, as well as conversation of the telephone call made to 911 when he attacked.

Vegan actress Alicia Silverstone is starring in “Time Stands Still,” a play by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Donald Margulies that’s playing at the Geffen Playhouse

“Time Stands Still” is about a photographer and reporter couple trying to regain a sense of normalcy after the photographer is injured in Iraq. Silverstone plays a friend of the couple.

The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles is surrounded by many vegetarian restaurants in the Westwood Village, like Native Foods. 

In addition, it has teamed up with California organic, sustainable vineyards for wine-tasting on Sundays, beginning on February 15.

Good thing, since Alicia is a committed vegan who most definitely needs to grab something delicious during the intermission.

“It was because of my wife. I was a guy who was compassionate to animals but not particularly involved in anything. I never wanted to be a vegetarian – I always thought vegetarians were hippies with too much free time. And then when I met my now wife and we started dating, she just opened my eyes to factory farming and a lot of stuff I’d never heard of.”
