PETA Protests Mary-Kate and Ashley Book Launch

As promised, PETA was on hand yesterday to protest at Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s book launch. Protestors wore the Hairy-Kate and Trashley masks and carried signed that said “Fur Tramps” and “Fur Hags From Hell.” Despite the protestors, the launch was a success, with over 200 people stopping by to see MK and Ashley and get their copy of Influence signed.

    I ordered the book influence and brought it inside I was so excited and so proud of MaryKate and Ashly, I love their success! I went to work that evening and when I got home somebody had come into my home and stolen my book. I am devestated and yae I even cried myself to sleep that night. I am very happy that they are Fashonistas and I despise PETA for causing them problems. I just hope word gets out that somebody is theiving these books, mine wont be the first especially if PETA is involved. PETA is real big around where I live. I’d like to work for MK and A even if it is just in an office somewhere. Anyone know how I can contact them.

    I HATE PETA and mostly for what it does to people like Mary Kate and Ashly Olsen. They and their designs are so much more worth it than some stupid peice of furr off of an animal that we probably eat. I am even a vegetarian and I don’t care that they do what they do, their fashion is so much more worth it to me than the animal would be ever they are angels pure sweet innocent angels, living their lives to the fullest and in the purity of wealth and financial happiness too bad PETA is in so much bondage

    PETA dies this day! I would be more mad at them for interrupting a book signing for that excellent book than I would be mad about the furr. I would love to have a furr around my neck and yes I would pay more money for a mink shawl or shoulder cover than I would to feed the in the way little fuzzballs underfoot stinky little varmits, I would so much rather have the beautifull fashion line the row and the beautiful Elizabeth and James line with dead chenchillas on my shoulders than a live one poopin on my floor having to pay for food and space for it instead of using that money to pay my credit cards I would so much rather have The ROW and the designers MK and A than any any any little poopin fuzzball underfoot or taking up space where I could build a new house!

    I could sit and protest PETA all day they are just harrassers there is just another group of people who thinks the world should just see things all their way. That is all its about. seeing things the way stupid PETA thinks everyone should I hate groups like that. I would so much rather have met Dianne Von Furstenburg and spent the day learning about Lauren Hutton the angelic, than even hearing for a second what PETA has to say. I hate them for even being at that book signing, I hate them for even planting the seed to other people that we should all be doing things the PETA way who cares if they even exist, I would so much rather have the twins and their fashion icons and that book than PETAs terroristic antagonizing tactics to teach people what they think, we don’t care about PETA we care about MaryKate and Ashly and their freedom of mind to design and become fashion moguls like Chanel.

    If I could I would close PETA down! They are so in the way of what we really want to look at and learn from and be a part of. I wish I could work for the twins and be the one who constantly battles PETA we hate you PETA nobody cares if you exist PETA you suck PETA we hate you for getting in the way of a really good book on what we really love fashion and fashion icons I wish one thing though that Roberto Cavalli had been in the book, I love him and his designs.

    I would be the one to protest PETA, while PETA protests. I hate them and think they are a severe distraction PETA dies this day! Onword to PETA takedown! Takedown PETA, destroy PETA, deny PETA, ruin PETA, take away PETA from distracting the pure vision of the journey to my new book. I was just going in to buy a book by marykate and ashly because I like the fashion industry and I love Lauren Hutton and PETA was so in the way, they were ruining a really good day, that book was number one on my list since the day I heard MK was even writing a book, and then to find out what it was about oh I was so excited! I ordered the next one online because the first one got stolen right off my kitchen table probably by a member of PETA. Police say there is nothing that they can do, no evidence of break in. I hate PETA

    Do you know how uneducated PETA acts, how primitive, the days of saving a chenchilla over somebody as beautiful as Mary Kate and Ashly are over, do you hear me over! I cannot believe they have masks on with blood dripping from a humans head over a piece of furr, it is terrorism by PETA and should be considered a serious death threat they have blood cartooned on a mask indicating they want blood dripping from one of the twins heads, they should not only be removed from the premises but they should be sued for slander and harrassment. I despise the way they go about things, I can’t believe they are getting away with a mask indicating a skull injury to one of the twins. Protesting through words and media is one thing but to actually indicate a skull injury to one of the twins is as near a death threat as it gets. Those PETA people should be arrested. They look like they belong in afghanistan with the other terrorists.

    Latest news PETA harrassers have been cast into outer darkness, banished from the planet. PETA is in bondage to one belief when really I can guarantee in some way shape or form they are contradicting themselves, somebody should investigate.

    If I was another kind of person I would subject Peta to all the divine retributions found In the book of revelations. However I’m Jewish and what they are doing is known as la shon ha rah(evil & makicious talk serving nothing but to gratify the pathetic egos of a bunch of losers who are trying to boost their self esteem by latching on to any issue no matter how absurd)
    Mary Kate and Ashley are doing more to benifit the world by spreading joy and
    happiness around (guess what. happy people don’t start wars) and wearing the furs of animals that are already dead,while possibly in somewhat questionable taste is not acurally hurting any living being anyway.

    Go PETA! Those trashy hags should be stopped!
    To anyone who just commented about how PETA is bad, would you like to be bludgeoned to death, or skinned alive, just beccause it’s fashionable?
    Animals feel too!
