PETA again using sex to spread message
The PETA news release screams: "Dressed-to-kill nurse has run out of patience with meat-linked heart disease." Um, OK. But that's not enough. The "nurse" (aka "naughty Nightingale") will set up shop outside Mercy Hospital on Truxtun Avenue at noon today to protest meat eating. And she (real name Virginia Fort) will be wearing a "stethoscope and sexy nurse outfit (complete with a white minidress, knee-high stockings, and spiked heels), carrying a notepad to write 'prescriptions' for a vegetarian diet, and holding a sign that reads, 'Bypass Heart Surgery--Go Vegan.' " There's more in the release, but here's our question: For every person PETA gets to quit eating meat from this stunt, how many will be injured because they're looking at the "naughty Nightingale" instead of the road as they drive by? 12 comments from 10 users

Nothing new for them. "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" and a few bikini clad protests outside of KFC. Wonder if someone will go throw a bucket of cholesterol on her? posted by

Works for *ME*. (But I didn't claw my way to the top of the food-chain to be a vegetarian...especially on Atkins.) And it works for PETA: it gets them news coverage, and that's all they care about. posted by

Random is right. They want coverage, and they get coverage. Their method works, so why stop? posted by

PETA: The most successful terrorist organization today. Really? I haven't noticed any shortage of meat lately. How many steak joints have they closed down? And as for "terror," I'm not "terrified" by naked women. I firmly embrace the concept of naked women. posted by

Well, I can't say I adopted two abandoned cats because some women went nude for PETA. Persuasive argument, though. : ) I'd go nude in public to save homeless pets. But at my age and shape, I don't think I'd being doing the animals any favor. posted by

So tell me what is the deference between a Peta ad and a Carl's Jr. Commercial both use sex to sale. outside the fact I am starting to like vegan food (happy: and the food at Carl's Jr. is starting to taste like excrement.

No one denies that meat is an essential part of most people's diet. But it's how we raise and slaughter the animals we eat that needs to be tightly regulated. I, for one, don't want to eat chickens that are confined to a space the same size as their body mass, or drink milk from (Happy) cows which stand in their poop all day. We're the animal with the big brain. Let's use it to find a solution, an ethical way to co exist with animals. As for nurse Nightingale, I think her strip tease is more for her own advancement than it is for the advancement of ethical treatment of animals.
