"Twilight' starlet Christian Serratos, 19, is the latest celeb to take her clothes off for PETA. Her TV credits include squeaky-clean shows like 'Hannah Montana,' 'Zoey 101' and '7th Heaven.' Christian's naked ad debuts in the walk-up to her new movie. 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' opens November 20."

I hate PETA, but they sure get a lot of pretty women to take their clothes off
- William Harryman
because they have a pseudo-science arm that uses lies and propaganda to scare people into not eating meat - and because they tend to be hypocrites, like holding stock in YUM, a holding company for many fast food chains they protest against - they do some good things to protect animals, but they also are full of shit a lot of times
- William Harryman
My guess is that meat-eaters and vegetarians will all die.

PETA is just a bunch of BS. Hate as well.

"convince people to not eat meat" I've never heard of someone not eating meat because of PETA. PETA did an amazing campaign raising awareness regarding fast food chains and the chicken raising industry, which resulted in increased standards. They targeted McDonalds, and therefore got a lot of visibility. It's ironic to me that you like the women photographed, but not their views- they weren't convinced by PETA, they were animal-rights fans to begin with.

anna, does it really surprise you that men would like women nude, but not agree with all of their views? E.g. "No, that centerfold doesn't turn me on. I read that she has a pitbull, and I can't stand those dogs."
- Cristo
Cristo, I can dream, can't I? So for a bit of reversal- if an amazingly hot guy was dancing in front of me, but he was some right-wing nutjob, would I be turned on? Maybe? I'm not above that, just saying, and I *certainly* wouldn't blog about it. I'd be a wee bit embarrassed.
- anna sauce
I don't know if I'd blog about it, but I would comment on FriendFeed if I was in the mood. I don't see the problem with separating physical and emotional attraction.
- Cristo
But I have to say Harryman, despite hating PETA, is playing into their hands. They're exactly the demographic. Not crunchy feminist 30-something SF residents like me, no, but the men out there who have never given to PETA, and now they may if there's some hope of a calendar coming that doesn't have SportsIllustrated SwimSuit edition plastered over the cover and their wives can look at them lovingly and say, "You gave to PETA? Aw...."

Also, she may be nude, but she's not naked. Not with her covering herself up and turning sideways. :)

"I've never heard of someone not eating meat because of PETA" - seriously? that is a major portion of their agenda - AND, I have a blog for serious stuff, and this ain't it - she's pretty, but PETA is full of crap half the time, so this just gave me an opportunity to say "PETA is full of crap half the time", which needs to be said from time to time - you (anna sauce) are making some serious assumptions about my character based on one posting
- William Harryman
"I hate PETA" ... that's a little different then "PETA is full of crap half the time," which I do agree with. Ha.
