i’d rather go naked than wear fur… pass me my leather boots
As a committed moral vegetarian, I think it’s excellent that there are animal rights campaigns out there designed to raise awareness about cruelty to animals, animal testing, and the treatment of animals used for food. They’ve even managed to make the issues ‘sexy’ with the famous “I’d rather go naked than wear fur” campaign, in which we’re treated to a full view of whatever celebrity du jour has been convinced that showing their naked skin is the best they can do for the animal rights movement:
“Okey dokey, I’ll just roll off my leather couch, zip over to the photoshoot in my vanity car with leather interior, set down my trendy little leather clutch (containing my leather wallet and mobile phone holster), slip off my leather FMBs, take off my bone jewelry, my leather belt…and make my stand against cruelty to animals.”
…Does anyone else see a problem here?

sublime…
So we’ve had a pretty incredible week. We have somehow manifested a beautiful space out of thin air. I don’t know what I love more — the fact that it happened, or that I’m no longer surprised at all.
You know, it’s really hard not to feel like Doogie Howser sitting here at my computer. Cue music.
