Here she is, doing her variation on the Janet Leigh "Pyscho" shower scene...for a good cause.
So what's Piggy Azalea up to? Viley Virus? Kim Kuntrashian? The two Jenner Benders, Kendall and Krackwhore?
No, you don't expect any chick under 40 to be too concerned with the natural resources of the planet. Just use everything up, and if anybody says a word, just give 'em a quizzical, incredulous "Whatever!"
IF I'M BEING HONEST, this latest PETA ad is not going to change anyone's mind, except maybe those who thought Pam Anderson was no longer capable of being sexy.
My own enlightenment about killing cows, sheep, pigs and chickens came from another one-time sex symbol, Julie Christie, who narrated "The Animals Film." It was aided by people like Paul McCartney. Macca noted that he had sheep on his farm...so how could he "eat someone's shoulder?" Answer...with mint jelly. But he preferred to give up lamb and the rest of it, and had encouragement from his wife Linda. (Who would later create a line of vegan frozen foods).
So it took a while for various outside influences, as well as my own repulsion over holding someone's leg or wing in my hand, or a slab of red flesh taken from a part of their body, to change my way of thinking. Some celebrities definitely helped.
Pam Anderson? Maybe she's the celeb that can change some minds, but THIS ad may not do it. After all, it's not about going vegan over animal cruelty. Or health. It's about the "environment," and people really don't give a damn. Too bad, but too true. Many deny climate change. Most millenials just figure they'll use their 3D printer some day to make a pizza.
Pam and PETA are pointing out that it isn't just meat but diary farming that is using up water. Yes, you need to use water to feed the cows that make the milk. But...
Sorry, while I don't drink milk (I'm not a baby) I have reduced but not ceased my cheese consumption. Sorry, that's asking too much. And cows are tit-squeezed but not killed for it. And I don't have a major health concern about it. And if Habeeb doesn't have enough water in 2060 to raise chick peas or his hummus, fuck him.
So you see, we all have priorities.
It's up to each individual to decide what's a MAJOR problem to them and how much of a hardship it would be to do the right thing. SOME of us recycle a newspaper or go out of our way to dispose of batteries properly, and others don't. Not everyone has the time, willpower, or interest in all aspects of ecology. And I don't see Pam advocating the bidet over toilet paper...although I'd enjoy seeing the ad campaign...
