PETA Fashion Police - As If

The other day I did a post on Pink and her unfortunate affiliation with PETA. Well, PETA are at it again. They must work through the holiday season or something. I wonder if they get double time?

This time they were out in force in Downtown Memphis, TN acting as the fashion police.

Dressed in slutty, I mean sexy police uniforms, on Wednesday, December 27, the group issued citations to people wearing real fur, leather and wool.

The PETA protesters also shared their message on placards that read “animal skins are a fashion felony”.

The faux officers (get it?) told ‘guilty’ people to ditch the good stuff, sorry, the real stuff and fake it or wait for it, wear pleather.

Lol. Pleather.

One man was ‘charged’ with “stolen skins” and “sheer torture” for wearing leather sneakers and a wool coat.

PETA protester Monika Meilleur told another person that they “have 24 hours to replace that [unspecified item] with a leather alternative.” His reply? He punched her in the face. No, that didn’t happen. There were too many witnesses around for him to do that. Cameras everywhere.

Seriously though, women already have fake tans, fake nails, fake hair (extensions), fake designer bags, now to add to this list we have to wear fake leather?

I don't know how PETA can honestly think they can be the fashion police. If it was up to them to control what people wore, we would all be walking around in organic potato sacks. Or calico maybe. Even then they would probably claim we were "hurting" the potatoes.
