Speaking of PETA

Bitch on Wheels blog post by Debbie Rasmussen, August 12, 2008 - 1:42pm; tagged animal rights, offensive advertising, peta, WTF?.

H/T to Vegans of Color...  

PETA wants to advertise "Go vegan" message on border fence: 

While many view the contentious border fence as a government fiasco, an animal rights group sees a rare opportunity.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals plans today to announce an unusual marketing pitch to the U.S. government: Rent us space on the fence for billboards warning illegal border crossers there is more to fear than the Border Patrol.

The billboards, in English and Spanish, would offer the caution: "If the Border Patrol Doesn't Get You, the Chicken and Burgers Will — Go Vegan."

Overheated in DC

Bitch on Wheels blog post by Debbie Rasmussen, October 7, 2007 - 10:54pm; tagged friends of Bitch, fundraising, offensive advertising, on the road, tv.

As I climbed the stairs from the subway headed for Penn station, the strap on my enormous bag broke, so I was left carrying it like a sack of potatoes. Which was a huge bummer because I'd left my other bags in Brooklyn. 

Lisa was waiting for me inside the station, and we boarded the train to Washington, DC. It was close to 90 degrees when we exited the train station to board the subway, and on the subway, lo-fi advertising for Nike flashed at us inside the tunnel. Ugh.
