PETA vs. People who love their leather jackets - and how it went so wrong for PETA.

Here's a story in the media that you all may not have seen - and will be your laugh of the day.

So get this: 5 members of PETA realised that there was going to be a gathering of a particular demographic of the general public that needed to be taught the error of their unethical ways - namely, the wearing of animal skin - as in wearing leather jackets. Booo ! Shame on them!
In these politically-correct, media-driven days, it seems that all you have to do is show up and protest and hurl some water balloons that's stained to simulate blood and splash these people - and the recipients of the protest will be shocked and surprised - and being unprepared, be caught totally wrong-footed and feel most uncomfortable at this sudden intimidation and look foolish for the cameras - and they will comply to the demands of the angry few, so as to avoid any perceived bad press in the media.
Well ... that's the politically-correct theory of it at least, I think.

Unfortunately for PETA, this gathering they'd targeted were bikers of the Hell's Angel's variety. Oh yes, they did. And things didn't go quite as planned ... Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha! The photo says it all - but it's good to the last line.
Anyway. I don't think they'll be protesting these guys again. As in, ever.

Unfortunately is looks like both sides in this situation engaged in stupid behavior.
We don't need to foster such attitudes.
