I found an interesting news article on my Weird News sites. I thought it
was pretty funny that PETA was protesting fur by having a "...nearly naked
pillow fight...", but it's a lot better than bombing an abortion clinic
like too many over-enthusiastic "pro-lifers". Anyway, I thought I'd share
this with the board. Enjoy.

thats hilarious, i might have asked for a better premice for protest than a
pillow fight even if the idea was a noble one, and had i been there i mihgt
have joined in, though only to have the chance to run around in my skivvies
for everyone to see.

Haha, some of us don't need a reason. I, for one, simply need to be
suggested. I really dig the idea of a pillow fight. I'm not a member of
PETA (in fact, i've been described by a PETA supporter as "the most
digusting carnivore [she] knows"), but even I would show up to engage in a
massive public pillow fight in support. With at least thirty people all in
their undies. OOOH, Choreographed too! Like in the Michael Jackson video
"Bad". That would be far-fucking-out.
that is the best idea they've come up with so far. And it's suprisingly
lighthearted for PeTA, good on 'em!

That is a very good idea. It grabs peoples attentions for sure. I was
wondering the other day if a person could go out in public in their
undergarments as long as they were covered. Now I know.

I was wondering that as well, callei, but I haven't been able to find out
if they were or not. Would it be a faux pas to bring a feather pillow to
the event? Because, in my opinion, it's not really a pillow fight without
feathers flying everywhere. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Careful where you do that though MRD. It depends on the local laws as to
what is allowed and what isn't in the way of nudity and/or partial nudity.
In the case of the PETA nearly naked pillow fight incident, all six
protestors were arrested on misdemeanor charges for the partial nudity.

laws are crazy. they would have had to register as sex offenders? its both
hilarious and ridiculous. do i even need to go on to why?
y'know, that is one of the loveliest stories relating to PETA i have
seen.
Kender, you could create artificial feathers and mix them in with whatever
your pillow sas stuffed with along with a signed affidavit guaranteeing the
provenance of said feathers. this way you get your flying feathers without
the feathers flying. (ooh oooh, did you see what i did there? wasnt it
worth the shite post just for that little bit of golden punnery?)

What does PETA stand for? In Spanish it's slang for a marijuana or haschis
cigarette...

Mph. I think I will save my humorous comments about the coincidence for a
later life when Bettie-X can't curse me and break my fingers from across
