On Friday night, a anti-fur protester caked Lindsay Lohan’s head with a huge, white load. Of flour. The protester shouted, “Lindsay Lohan, fur hag!”. PETA spokesman Robbie LeBlanc said:
“Lindsay Lohan might be able to ignore images of bloody animals skinned alive for their pelts, but we hope a dash of flour will help her rise to the occasion and forsake fur once and for all”.
Lindsay’s partner Samantha went straight to her MySpace the next day to defend her honor.
There is a fine line that distinguishes the difference between exercising our freedom of expression and offending others, for example the debate regarding freedom of speech vs. hate speech…. i feel that this principle should apply to protestors also. It’s a pity that some groups feel the need to assault people as opposed to fighting with words.
Whenever I feel the need to vent about something that feels unfair to me I reach for my computer, I don’t run out of the house with abusive intentions. I don’t expect everyone to react the same way, but I do expect people to respect each other. Maybe that’s my first mistake? It seems lately I am learning that there are too many people who put another species before their fellow man and that’s sad. I don’t wear fur, but I don’t think I have the right to ATTACK those who do. No one has that right..."
I don't wear fur but I HATE Peta!
... but well said, Sam.
