Batgirl, uncaped crusader for PETA
From Foxnews.com:
Alicia Silverstone to Appear Nude in PETA Commercial
What does an actress do when she has been out of the limelight for a decade? What is the key to getting attention? Posing or appearing nude, the refuge of washed up actresses and former teen pop stars.
Perhaps the success of the movie “Clueless” will be repeated in the commercial “Clothesless.” PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) is hoping that seeing Batgirl unmasked and unclothed will encourage vegetarianism. I am not sure how skinny dipping former teen stars encourage people not to eat meat but I could see other potential messages for this commercial:
- Man made global warming has made it so hot that even Alicia Silverstone can’t bear to swim in a stifling bikini.
- Her swimsuit was made in China.
- Bush lied, so get naked in public!
- Big clothing is just as bad as Big oil!
- Look at me, I used to be famous!
- Keep your clothes off my body!
- Women are not objects!
I guess this commercial will have an impact after all. I should never have doubted artistic expression. Come to think of it, we should see if PETA can get taxpayer funding to produce more of these public service announcements.
