I was listening to the radio today and heard P.E.T.A. (That’s People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) release their “worst dressed” list of 2008!

Naturally they are talking about people who wear FUR!

(Before we get too far into that I have to say that I don’t have much sympathy for PETA in any way, shape or form since they are not only against wearing fur, but want everyone to be at least a vegetarian...or better yet a vegan...or even better, a very devout Buddhist who refuses to even step on a bug since all life is sacred!)

Anyway, let’s get on with the matter at hand kids. PETA has announced the ‘Worst-Dressed’ Celebrities of 2008.

(These are naturally celebs who wear FUR!)

The votes have been counted, and the results are in.

Aretha Franklin has been crowned the queen on PETA’s 2008 ‘Worst-Dressed’ List.

Most celebrities these days already know that fur is a bigger fashion faux pas than fanny packs, but some haven’t yet caught on that leather and “exotic” skins are also a dying trend. That’s why PETA has expanded its 2008 “Worst Dressed” list to include celebrities who drape themselves in other dead animal skins, like cow leather, python skin, and alligator skin. And the winners / losers are ...

‘Worst-Dressed’ Celebrities of 2008

Aretha Franklin
How ’bout some R-E-S-P-E-C-T for animals? Aretha, when you waddled into the Grammys in yet another vulgar fur, you looked as if you were going to perform “I Am the Walrus” by The Beatles. You may be a queen, but you don’t know jack about compassion.

Marilyn Manson
Always draped in leather from head to toe, Manson has enough skeletons in his closet to fill a pet cemetery. As if wearing dead animals isn’t foul enough, Manson says that he wears his cow-skin pants 24/7, only peeling the smelly things off to have sex. That alone should be enough to tarnish leather’s dated sex appeal. Manson may just be the shock-rocker’s stage name, but his wardrobe is a real-life tale of blood and guts.

Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria is short on compassion. In her trashy furs, she looks like the street walker of Wisteria Lane. Eva is one “desperate housewife” who needs a quickie divorce—from her stylist.

Lindsay Lohan
I Know Who Killed Me isn’t just the title of Lindsay Lohan’s last bomb—it’s also the cry of the animals snuffed out so that this “mean girl” can pose in their pelts. Lindsay, there’s no road to recovery for the foxes who are anally electrocuted so that you can look skanky.

Kate Moss
Nothing completes the transition from supermodel to super-tramp like a fur coat. If Kate could see clearly through those bleary eyes, maybe she’d clear her closet of those furs.

Kylie Minogue
What does Kylie Minogue have in common with her python purse? They are both cold-blooded. Come on, Kylie—it’s not cool to clutch onto an accessory made by nailing snakes to trees and skinning them alive.

TO QUOTE PETA ON MORE TIME: Animals are living, feeling beings who don’t want to die—they aren’t “fabrics.”

Cows killed for their skin have their horns and tails cut off without any painkillers, some snakes and lizards are nailed to trees and their skin is ripped off their bodies while they are still alive, and alligators on farms may be beaten to death with hammers and axes—just for their skin.

O.K. Folks, did ya get all that?

Do ya not only believe it, but go along with it?

Would YOU do what PETA suggests and not wear fur anymore?

RIGHT THEN! I will make any member of PETA a deal!

If you people can stop wearing leather shoes, leather belts, give up your string musical instruments because they have cat gut strings, order the cheap seats, not the leather ones, for your car, eat nothing but nuts and berry’s for your meals, (And I have to tell you that even Yogi Bear wouldn’t do that!) set your pet dogs and cats free, give up all modern medicine because it was developed by testing stuff on animals.......... if you can do all that bunky!

I will throw out my mink lined underwear!

TA DA!
