pie-kun 1,765 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm not quite understanding the outrage as her most well known outfit is a dress made out of real meat? I mean, if you're offended by the fur and not offended by the meat dress, I don't quite understand. I mean, it's not like they are very humane with the animals used for human consumption... Her response inclines me to believe that the fur is fake. But I believe she's leaving the question hanging to get the press talking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
codymonster 8,584 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) What a ridiculous thing to write. I don't agree with PETA, but I would see no problem with them writing her a KIND letter, trying to remind her and ask to clear things up. However, this piece of **** letter is pathetic. First off, it's rude to her. Second, whoever wrote is stupid for trying to tie in the gay community to try and make her feel bad, when really they are just being extremely narrow-minded towards us gay people. I couldn't give a **** about PETA, and I'm 100% gay. I'm a person that has an opinion, just like ANYONE, and I'm not pro-PETA just cause I like men. To put it simply, they were using us to try and make Gaga feel bad. fukcing ridiculous. I hate generalizations, I hate this letter, and I'm actually embarrassed for them.

Tommymonster44 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) PETA is just a terrible organization. I always refer to my old "Fahrenheit 451" book by Bradbury for cases liked this. For those not informed on the book, he basically created a futuristic America with reading/independent-thought/expressing yourself are illegal because nobody cares about them anymore. All books are burnt in this society. It all started back when minority groups began to lobby against policies that went against their believes. Basically, the author wanted to explain that booking burning is not just putting a flame underneath a book. You can burn books in a metaphorical manner. And book are a metaphor themselves. Anytime that you try to restrain someone else from expressing an opinion of theirs, you are "book burning." Minority groups burn books all the time. They want society to bend over backwards for them. I'm not very good with words, here's how Bradbury say's it. "About two years ago, a letter arrived from a solemn young Vassar lady telling me how much she enjoying reading my experiment in space mythology, The Martian Chronicles. But, she added, wouldn't it be a good idea, this late in time, to rewrite the book inserting more women's characters and roles? A few years before that I got a certain amount of mail concerning the same Martian book complaining that the blacks in the book were Uncle Toms and why didn't I "do them over"? Along about then came a note from a Southern white suggesting that I was prejudiced in favor of blacks and the entire story should be dropped. Two weeks ago my mountain of mail delivered forth a pipsqueak mouse of a letter from a well-known publishing house that wanted to reprint my story of "The Fog Horn" in a high school reader. In my story, I had described a lighthouse as having, late at night, an illumination coming from it that was a "God-Light." Looking up at it from the viewpoint of any sea-creature one would have felt that one was in "the Presence." The editors had deleted "Got-Light" and "in the Presence." Some five years back, the editors of yet another anthology for school readers put together a volume with some 400 (count 'em) short stories in it. How do you cram 400 short stories by Twain, Irving, Poe, Maupassant and Bierce into one book? Simplicity itself. Skin, debone, demarrow, scarify, melt, render down and destroy. Every adjective that counted, every verb that moved, every metaphor that weighted more than a mosquito-- out! Every simile that would made a sub-moron's mouth twitch-- gone! Any aside that explain the two-bit philosophy of a first-rate writer-- lost! Every story, slenderized, starved, bluepenciled, leeched and bled white, resembled every other story. Twain read like Poe read like Shakespeare read like-- in the finale-- Edgar Guest. Every word of more than three syllables had been razored. Every image that demanded so much as one instant's attention-- shot dead. Do you begin to get the damned and incredible picture? How did I react to all the above? By "firing" the whole lot. By sending rejection slips to each and every one of them. By ticketing the assembly of idiots to the far reaches of hell. The point is obvious. There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority, be it Baptist/Unitarian, Irish/Italian/Octogenarian/Zen Buddhist, Zionist/Seventh-Day Adventist, Women'sLIb/Republican, Mattachine/FourSquareGospelfeelsithas the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse. Every dimwit editor who sees himself as the source of all dreary blanch-mange plain porridge unleavened literature, licks his guillotine and eyes the neck of any author who dares to speak above a whisper or write above a nursery rhyme. Fire-Captain Beatty, in my novel Fahrenheit 451, described how the books were burned first by minorities, each ripping a page or a paragraph from this book, then that, until the day came when the books were empty and the minds shut and the libraries closed forever." As you can see, groups like this do not want to protect. They want to destroy. I respect if you don't want to wear animal fur. I respect if you promote the conserving of wildlife by not wearing fur. However, if you for one millisecond try to tell me that I am not allowed to wear fur, that it is wrong for me to wear fur, for that I am a bad person for wearing fur, then you have something coming. You've become a book burning, burning awake the pages of "fashion" one paragraph at a time. If we allow every little minority to delete a paragraph from the "book of fashion" or "the book of expression"...the entire book will be burned of existence! So while I respect that you don't agree with wearing fur, if you feel the need to stop me or gaga from wearing fur, your a book burner and I don't have one iota of respect for you.

I'm old enough to look at your posts and assess that you're not a Gaga fan. Seriously, get out. Before I report you. You're only here to cause chaos and defend people trying to bring Gaga down.
