State of the Union Undress: 2008!

Written by PETA

Posted 01-28-2008

For the second year in a row, an extremely brave PETA member has bared all for our State of the Union Undress. The result is nothing short of stunning, and I can’t say enough about how amazing this young lady has been in helping us put the video together as a way of reaching a wide audience with a message of compassion for animals. I don’t know what to expect from Bush’s speech tonight, but I feel extremely confident in guaranteeing that our State of the Union is going to be a whole hell of a lot sexier.

I am a supporter of PETA in their struggle for animal rights. I routinely promote the organization and use much of its literature. However I agree with Maya and others who object to these types of media stunts. First it reinforces the patriarchal system by using women's bodies as objects for men's sexual gratification. I totally think women should be able to do whatever they want with their bodies particularly when it is noncoercive and for political purposes. But we must ask ourselves in regard to the context is this advancing women's liberation or hindering it? Second these stunts are ineffective. It distracts from the real issue animal exploitation. The focus should be on the animals not the their advocates. Again ask ourselves is this advancing animal liberation or hindering it? PETA you can do so much better than this. Drop this nonsense and return to serious hardhitting campaigns like the Animal Liberation Project. The animals deserve nothing less.

Ana part deux CC's comment that "This is the closest I have ever come to becoming a vegetarian" was so unbelievably insulting to vegetarians and vegans don't you think?

Ana I seem to recall CC comparing you to some Birkenstockwearing hippie a couple of months ago actually I am pretty sure the comment was even more critical than that but I am not going to try and search for it to get the exact quote. And on several occasions he has gotten huffy and called Kelly "bigoted" WTF?. Then there are the times where I can almost see him climbing up on that pedestal to preach to all of us dummies who don't pay as many taxes as he does and who will simply never know as much as he does about anything! I think he needs to get back on his meds because clearly he cannot recall how nasty he has been to many of the people on this site. I would never counsel anyone that he is someone worth talking to. He is simply too arrogant and quite twofaced when he is notsosubtly attempting to ingratiate himself to Jack so that he does not get booted off the PETAfiles.

Maya Like I said boring. First thing you know somebody freaks out over calling it a propaganda video. I would love to have discussions about wildlife and habitat and other meaningful subjects but I always seem to get baited into these wacky side roads where English isn't spoken and no one walks on dirt.

Hey again Ana! My email address is karyfinchyahoo.com. The URL line here does not fill my website address automatically and I'm too lazy to type the whole thing LOL. But you may have to sign up for Vox just to get in touch with me so it may be easier to use karyfinchyahoo.com but of course I would love to speak to you on Vox too! I apologize for using Alf's name I have not really researched them instead I should have just said that I beleive that arson is deadly wrong and anyone who does not beleive me should volunteer at a burn center for a week. I don't mean to be nasty to PETA I'm just terribly opinionated and I think that I have a somewhat inside perspective. But it goes without saying it's just my opinion and nothing else. I would LOOOOOOOOVVVVE to see declawing banned here. I hope we can exchange ideas. Peace and love my friend.

Hello Maya! I do not recall where you left your email address but I can always go to your website kitties! and write to you there. Declawing is very important to me because so many catskittens suffer very serious consequences because of it. You and I both know that declawing does not promise a permanent home. Too many other nations ban declawing legally medically and the USA needs to get with the program. Of course capitalism has a lot to do with it. To find declawed cats in the streets is heartbreaking. The felines are utterly helpless! To find all paws declawed is criminal. No vet should be allowed to perform this amputation on 2 paws let alone 4 paws. I originally wanted to be a vet but having a small child and going to vet school proved to be too much of a challenge. Luckily I had the grades to go into any field and I ultimately decided history. Thanks for the compliment but I honestly do not think I can influence CC. His denigrating me has taken on the life of a pasttime for him. Otherwise I have no problem trying to educate influence and convince others to become more aware of the animal suffering caused by human behavior and in encouraging compassionate choices regarding animals. I speak to people with kindness when doing so it benefits the animals when I do. The capacity to be compassionate is in people not all people certainly but there are those that are reachable. Peace!

Coch Also I dislike vulgarity so no using your name in a fashion that would attempt to conjure anything vulgar is distasteful to me. You really are attacking the wrong person in reference to your name. Try someone else. I have way too much class for that. Justice for Animals!
Ana commented:

Coch I don't hate you that would be a waste of time. Being arrogant you think I would waste any type of emotion on you....get a grip. What I hate is injustice. As far as dumbing down I am far too intelligent for that. But of course your arrogance thinks I would for the likes of you. Again you are arrogant even about your name. I simply wrote the first 4 letters because it was easier for me. I write constantly because of my discipline and I get tired and I simply shorten nameswords for my benefit. It wasn't an attempt on my part to insult insulting others is your specialty. You barely are civil in anything you write to me and it irks you that I am very intelligent and can argue with the best of them. I can respect a difference of opinion but I don't appreciate the constant juvenile put downs that you so much enjoy. Ironically if you knew me personally you would both appreciate my intelligence as well as my looks. I have always been described as personable. So stop being so arrogant I have no desire to play with your name or anyone else's. It didn't cross my mind about your name until you wrote of it. Ridiculing others be it because of a name or appearance is for dumb insecure juveniles. BTW the things that you write can also be construed as propaganda as well. If you want to continue to insult me well go ahead and enjoy yourself. I refuse to sling any of your vile directed at me back to you. Very counterproductive and hostile. I would rather have a written dialogue with someone both respectful and civil. But you are cocky!

Hi Elphaba! I REALLY like the phrase "agree to disagree" because once people get past hurling insults then they can actually solve problems and get results. You're welcome to call me out any time it keeps me on my toes LOL. And I enjoy discussing such issues no matter if people agree with me or not. I must confess that since Jack posted PETA's good work on exposing pet stores I've been tempted to donate to their cause but when things get "offensive" again I tend to back away. Blessings Elphaba! ps Rocking the cleavage is a great thing. Ana thank you for the link!! I will definetly check it out. And you should email me some time I have been gathering cutting edge information on declawing and even know of some possible studies I'd like to join you in that cause it's one I feel incredibly passionate about. I'm certainly not defending Chris but communicating on the Internet is very challenging I think that with no tone of voice or body language it's hard to know if someone is truly attacking you or just being defensive. I'd suggest either ignoring him altogether or asking for him to speak to you with more respect. He's worth talking to after all you're very well educated and can teach him to treat animals better with some work. I think it may be worth the sacrifice. Just MHO.

Oh God! Stop already with the nonsense. This is not porn PETA is not exploiting women. This brave woman chose on her own free will unlike the animals which have no choice to do this and last time I checked there's nothing wrong with the naked body. This attracts attention and vistors to PETA's website so maybe they will be curious and click around and read up on some new info about animals rights while they're here. And it's not like PETA just videotaped a naked woman and posted it on their website. Notice besides there no being a fastforward button the act is followed by Meet Your Meat. And I agree with some others PETA next year we can have a guy too.. any takers Jack? p

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
