Either some post-modern scholar has done a survey and found that gentlemen Kannadigas prefer blondes. Or that Kannadiga men are still slobbering over Baywatch™ babes.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA™) has sent out copies of a “tantalising” advertisement featuring the owner of the most famous pair of oversized orbs to Kannada publications to mark World Vegetarian Week (May 19 to 25) with the Kannada translation of the tagline “Turn Over a New Leaf. Try Vegetarian.”
Pamela Anderson may be a longtime vegetarian and animal rights activist, who genuinely believes that “going vegetarian is the best – and easiest – method of staying slim and sexy”. But, who is to blame if “non-vegetarian” men start wondering how they can lay their hands on such large leaves—to start eating veg thalis, that is?
Are meat-eating women likely to be converted by a campaign like this?
If PeTA™ had to choose an Indian/Kannada star, who would it be?

It is shameful that Churumuri should indulge in such cheap wordplay when there are weighty issues like the nuclear deal, farmers suicides, hooch tragedies, cyclone Nargis, the Sichuan earthquake.
But, hey, who am I to complain.
Here’s my two-bit: the Kannada actress Jayanthi. And the Tamil actress Raasi.

Aatmasakshi: Your quickie on need to focus on real things (issues) and quick transition of getting down to business (with names) is truly well received..
Cheers

I am proud member of PETA (People for the Eating of Tasty Animals) … vegetarianism is Bull Shit!

Churumuri please refrain from posting such images. It becomesvery difficult for me to browse Churumuri from my office. There are snoopers around.

What’s the use? It’s not like turning veggie is going to net a date with that chick.
These ads are targeted at the average carnivorous American who consumes a few pounds of meat in a day. The average non-vegetarian Indian indulges in koLi saaru so rarely that he is almost vegetarian anyway.

A beautiful campaign.
Earlier today I read somewhere a quote attributed to “The True Believer” sociologist Eric Hoffer. He apparently said, “Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.”
And then I read this post on Churumuri.
To PETA’s great credit, their animal rights cause has remained pristine since the early 1980s.
For 25 years PETA’s campaigns have blazed a new path in activist advertising. PETA’s unique use of celebrities — not just Pamela Anderson but desi charmers as well, such as John Abraham and Shilpa Shetty — has drawn public attention to a wide variety of cruelty issues: Laboratory animal experimentation, fur harvesting, auto crash testing, circus cruelty, slaughter house cruelties, the foie gras nonsense, etc.
And yes, Pamela Anderson has never looked better!

Who is this, Margret Alva in her hay days. Published a bit late, would have been a good poster for the Congress during the elections!

What about cruelty meted out to the Plant Kingdom? Arent they living beings too? Humans are natural predators for both plants & animals. Am happy though that those cabbage leaves did not end up cut up and cooked but found a happy place on Pam.

I was wondering who will win the Karnataka elections?
23 May 2008 at 1:51 pm
Is it Organic Cabbage?
23 May 2008 at 7:59 pm
Thanks Churumuri for digging this out. Let us not forget good intention of Pam Anderson before we start fantasizing rekha and rakshita behind those leaves.
See Pam’s video at http://nadunudi.wordpress.com/2008/05/23/peta-video/

23 May 2008 at 11:46 pm
Let you all Veggies have those leaves….I will have the remaining :)
24 May 2008 at 12:14 am
i am really not so sure about vegetarianism anymore,
i mean, i grew up imbibing stuff like going saltless in adhika maasa, but if you look at environmental foot print, it doesnt appear like vegetarianism is as green as it is projected to be.
24 May 2008 at 12:18 am
its one thing to fight the good battle for that artificially inseminated lone elephant in canada, which had not not seen another elephant for 15 years, and a whole different deal to piss on people’s plate, screw theories, even evolutionarily it is unpalatable.

Anonymous, Can’t expect much from a person whose tongue wags at every blonde.
Did PETA take permission from Pam before using this pic? Lawsuit now I guess.
24 May 2008 at 8:23 pm
Go hasiru, like I said go to hell. Lawsuit that.
