That’s Not Very Nice

I don’t mind PETA, but sometimes I hate their tactics.
Here’s their latest publicity stunt geared towards Aretha Franklin:
“Music lovers may think of you as a ‘queen,’ but to animal lovers, you are a court jester . . . Why not shed the old-fashioned look that adds pounds to your frame and detracts from your beautiful voice? Please consider donating your furs to the homeless as ‘queen of compassion,’ Mariah Carey, did. You’ll get a tax credit for the donation, and we at PETA will all sing your praises.”
Weight jokes are so tasteless, really.
You may wonder why they picked on her. Well with all the publicity she’s been getting for being offended that Beyonce called Tina Turner the Queen in her Grammy’s intro, I guess they figured they’d hop on the tail end of the publicity train.
