Can DSK's experience be used for good? Dominique Strauss-Kahn may no longer preside over the International Monetary Fund or be running for the highest office in France, but PETA France is banking on his ability to illustrate one pitfall of having unprotected sex: 

DSK might not have considered "spay-and-neuter advocate" to be his next move, but no one can argue that he isn't in the perfect position to let people know about the harmful effects of tomcatting—such as animal overpopulation. 

This time, perhaps something good can come from a sex scandal.

I guess it shouldn't come as any surprise that "Octomom" Nadya Suleman has agreed to take us up on our offer to place this ad on her front lawn in exchange for a single payment of $5,000 and a month's supply of veggie burgers and dogs to feed her supersized litter family.

After all, faced with the prospect of foreclosure, the single mom of 14 can surely relate to the plight of millions of homeless animals across the country.

The benefits of PETA's offer to the struggling octobrood are obvious, but what's in it for animals? Already, the ad has been run (for free) by CNN, NBC, AOL News, E! Online, USA Today, the New York Post, and dozens of other media outlets and blogs. So far, we've reached millions of people with the lifesaving spay-and-neuter message for less than a penny a person. Not a bad deal.

Regardless of her motivations for accepting our ad, wouldn’t you agree that reaching millions with the spay-neuter message right as "kitten season" is starting is perfect timing? And with Nadya's entire family chowing down on veggie burgers and veggie dogs all month long, factory farmed animals' lives have been spared.
