Political performance PETA piece pilfered from Perez Hilton

By Ezra Winton, February 28, 2008 Comments (3)

Animal righters PETA staged a public political performance protesting the slaughter of pigs (yes the alliteration continues) for Mothers Day in Covent Gardens, London today.

I was going to pilfer the image of the performance from enemy-cum-friend-to-the-stars celebrity gossiper Perez Hilton, but his version contains his signature chicken scratch commentary over the photo, with a nipple whited out and the word MOO! scrawled near the performers mouth. Unsurprisingly the lean and fit Hilton doesn't like the sight of a little fat on the body - as this does not fit with the slim and vapid imagery of stardom. I guess political performance just can't quite gel with fabuland...

Dear PETA,

Please stop helping.

This is officially my favourite comment for the month of February, and makes it into the running for all-time best comments on Art Threat. Thank-you vegetarianism for summing up in three short words, precisely what so many of us have wanted to say but could not find the (efficient) words.

Dear Vegetarianism,

You are a wimp. Grow up and eat a steak.

Sincerely,
The Carnivore
