Olympic figure skater, Johnny Weir, is one of my favorite athletes/ performers. He is electrifying to watch.
Johnny hears a different drummer from the one most of us march to.
Some of the poopheads more traditional judges have been known to penalize him for his lack of convention and various controversies. In the Olympics his technical scores put him in bronze medal contention, but subjective scores put him in sixth place.
And while most male skaters wear costumes that look like wet suits or a cliché from a child’s tale, this is the costume that Johnny wore in the free skate at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
It’s the white wisps of fur from a long dead fox that has Peta’s panties in a bunch. They continued to harass, threaten, and send hate mail to him and his costume designer because, you know, a never-ending succession of self-righteous D-list Peta bimbos would rather go naked than be ignored wear fur in a self-serving photo shoot--unless, of course, they are offered money to wear fur, in which case all bets are off.
Unfortunately, the media eats up everything the Peta terrorists do, seldom showing them as they really are. I would like to see the sentence “Peta kills 97% of the pets entrusted to them” added to every story about them.
They insist on forcing their views on everyone else. Their cruel and stupid antics trivialize important issues of animal welfare.
They attract dim bulbs who “wuv their widdle doggies” and don’t realize that Peta loves to turn doggies into popsicles to store in the giant walk-in freezer in their Virginia headquarters. And they can’t wait to advocate euthanasia for fighting dogs, even tiny puppies.
All of the Olympic skaters wear boots made of leather. Rather than picking on one vulnerable young athlete who was living his Olympic dream, why don’t they try terrorizing the hockey team?
Now that might be as much fun as taking on a motorcycle club.

In a just world, Johnny Weir would have medalled at the Olympics and PETA would be legally recognized as the slaughterhouse it is.
P.S. - I love the "I'd rather go naked than be ignored" - spot on!

Hmm... PETA vs. the Olympic Hockey Team? Now we're talking!

We would love to see PETA vs the hockey players too. What a smackdown that would be..

I missed Johnny and sorry I did. I'm with ya on the peta thing. You just have to go "duh". I'm with Jackie, kiss it.

Johnny was fabulous....I loved his saying that his parents always let him just be himself....when he was on the soccer field and he was running away from the ball pretending he was a zebra or giraffe they told him he was great. As far as the Olympics are concerned....I have issues with the judging for a lot of the skating scores...you stay on your blades you get a bum score, you fall once you are 3rd, fall twice go to the silver slot. What?

Ah Jan! I LOVE the way you think! Once again, you've started my day with a smile! (And your post is spot on.)

Your last point really nails home what PETA is about. Imagine if they seriously went after everyone who wears cow leather. They'd bite off more T-bone than they could chew. And that would in turn incite the ire of the well-funded & influential beef lobby, which would be political and financial death for PETA. So instead, they spend their capital victimizing one little guy wearing one little fox fur. That makes PETA nothing but hypocritical bullies.

Oh, wow. It's a great idea, Jan, to have peta protest against the hockey players...or how about football players, with the leather football? I'd love to see some of those big guys take on those screaming wimps. I loved the spoof article.
I thought Johnny Weir was in a class all by himself. He's simply amazing.

I haven't watched any of the Olympic coverage this year, but in my book PETA = pinheads. Not a science major in the bunch, just a bunch of emotional nutcases who couldn't find their asses with both hands and a flashlight.

Spot on, Jan!

I've come to the working theory that lack of protein leads to severely impaired brain function, PeTA is proof.

Great article that I've happily shared with all my followers...thanks for your blog!

Well done.
I live near PETA headquarters - the area is called Tidewater. People here refer to PETA as the PEOPLE EMBARRASSING THE TIDEWATER AREA.
You are absolutely on target regarding their agenda when you look at the percentage of pets euthanized - especially when you consider what a wealthy organization it is - the headquarters is located on waterfront property.
And I haven’t forgotten about the PETA employees who were charged with killing pets picked up from vets in NC and dumping their bodies in public dumpsters.

The point is fur is wrong. He could have chosen faux. Period.
