I recently penned a nasty-gram to PETA Europe about their decision to make the 'Running of the Nudes' event in Pamplona, Spain an exclusive event. They are discouraging tourists and participants from attending and instead having a clique of scantily clad models touring Europe to campaign against the traditional Running of the Bulls event.
Heh?
This is a great example of where the animal rights movement does itself no favors. The whole point, you idiots, is to get people interested in the nekkid people instead of the bulls! The tourists still have an excuse to get drunk, the tourist industry is kept whole and most importantly, the bulls are safe. It's win-win-win! Well it WAS anyway. Sigh.
But even better, they discourage the average person to come and bare their souls (and boobies) for their cause, and instead have an exclusive team of European models. Sure, while we're screwing things up, let's contribute to the fashion industry's unrealistic standards of beauty! Brilliant.
This calls for a nude counter-protest! Or a witty t-shirt. I could go either way.
In obtusely related news, the Latin singer Charo has released a dance version of a traditional Spanish song as a protest to bullfighting. Because a little 'cuchi-cuchi!' lends credibility to any serious cause, does it not? Would 'get off my team' be a little harsh here? Hey I have an idea, how about Charo running naked through the streets of Spain for the bulls? Brilliant.
