Forest Whitaker Advocating Falafel Cart Can Ease NY MTA Hikes
Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 in Actors.
New Yorkers are in an uproar over the fare hikes and service cuts the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) has approved in its 2009 budget.
One man expressed his feelings personally by attempting to throw a shoe at Chief Executive Elliot Sander-mimicking the Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at George W. Bush, before being escorted out.
People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), being the peace and goodwill promoting organization it is, has offered to help solve this problem so hopefully Chief Sander will only be dodging snowballs this winter.
They would like to purchase advertisement on MTA that would allow riders to hear pro-vegetarian testimonials by vegetarian actors Forest Whitaker, Casey Affleck, and Kevin Nealon.
Fantastic idea, but why not take it a bit further. Along with the personal testimonial, include shout outs as to where to find the food. Something like,”I’m Forest Whitaker and I’m a vegetarian. Check out the Falafel cart at 46th and 6th“, may make the advertisement dollars go further.
You can listen to each celebrity’s announcement over at PETA’s blog.
