Vogue Editor Gets Pied by PETA

Anna Wintour, editor of the U.S. edition of Vogue, was struck in the face with a tofu cream pie on Saturday by members of PETA to protest against her support for the use of animal fur by the fashion industry. Wintour was attending the Chloe fashion ready-to-wear show at the Tuileries Gardens in central Paris. She was not hurt by the attack. She was reported to have joked that tofu may be good for the skin. It was the second such attack on the fur supporter by PETA, who in this incident, were upset that Wintour turned down an anti-fur advertisement to replace one that touted fur. What do you tink?

I think:
Vogue and Wintour have the right to not run PETAs ads. The magazine is all about fashion and though it would be a strong icon for not supporting fur in fashion, I don't think it makes the publication look bad for refusing PETAs offer. PETA kind of reminds me of Greenpeace. An organization with a worthy cause but run by some militant radicals. Now, pieing someone in the face is not really the act of guerilla warriors but, some of their protests, by underground Animal Liberation Front (ALF) are: like the time they bombed a Michigan lab. If PETA wants to pie people in the face, fine. As long as the people getting pied don't mind. Seems to me that Wintour is a pretty good sport about it.
