Yeah, the lighting does kind of give that effect! And someone mentioned chicken; I'm hungry now.

Regardless of what anyone's stance on PETA is, I think it's extremely honorable of Shirley to stand up for what she believes in. I mean, you don't have to be a whack-job like PETA's co-founder to support some of the issues that they stand for. Like someone stated earlier, not all Democrats believe in every liberal cause on the map. You pick and choose your beliefs for whatever sutis your lifestyle. I say, good for her.

Who cares about overt and subvert messages here? We're probably about the only people who saw this ad that it means anything significant to outside the animals-first crowd anyway. Maybe it's for the best. After all, everyone else will be like "who's the redhead?"

People are just assuming that because Garbage is on a "hiatus" right now and Shirley is working on a solo record that Garbage is over. Boo on them for being so negative!

As for the whole PETA thing, there is always two sides to every story. People will continue to support PETA just as much as others will find fallacies in their organization. I'm neither disapointed nor delighted about Shirley's decision; the important thing is to appreciate Garbage for their music, not their political or personal stand points.

I just totally have to add and say that the MESSAGE is what is important,to be ethical in treatment.That is an important message,you'd have to be one sicko to not think the stuff happening isn't terrifying.You see,animals don't have the means to say stop or help,if you couldn't speak wouldn't it suck if someone stayed cutting and and peeling your skin off of you,do you know what that would be like?!The way you treat animals is a true reveal of your nature.Compassion and respect keep horrible things away,we owe it to each other and everything around us.Wow,I think I'm passionate about this!I'm plaastering this add everywhere I can and so should everyone else....

No thanks, people have enough reasons to call me crazy already!

Then again, if there's massive linkage occuring here, any publicity might be good publicity after all.

I also haven't posted here in ages--why not start at this thread?

It's Shirley's life; she can and should do whatever she wants. I'm not saying that I am personally supporting her decision, but I do support the fact that she's expressing herself.

Didn't Sophie Ellis Baxtor post in the exact same photo a few years ago? Or some other British singer lady, anyway......

Weird. Asked a couple of people if they'd seen it anywhere and they hadn't. One of them only had my description to go on, though. And the first guy started raining on PETA before I could shut him up, go figure.

Then again, they're neither Garbage nor PETA fans as far as I know.

@nette · **Posted:** Tue Apr 03, 2007 12:27 am

I'm all for animal rights and stuff, but I'm not a very big fan of PETA cos they go waaaaaaaaaaaay over my line, borderline terrorism. These photos with "the rest of your fur coat" is a good way to express their opinions etc, but most members of the organisation are vegans and completely obsessed with not "killing" anything that can be killed, and they go to extreme lengths to prove their point, which I don't find completely necessary.
I will never stop eating meat!
