TAGGED:
The set of America's Next Top Model became a meat market this week, literally. In the oh so cleverly titled "Where's the Beef?" episode, the models were taken to NYC's meat packing district where they posed with carcasses and dumpsters full of the dismembered body parts of tortured animals.
As if that wasn't gross enough, they actually dressed the models in pieces of raw, bloody meat. I'm talking like skirts and underpants and bras made from flesh. It was like a scene from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I kept waiting for Leatherface to jump out and chase them around. It was hideous.
Now, I know that several people involved in the show care about animals, so this is straight out of left field. I just don't get it. I have no idea what they were thinking, but here's what we are thinking...
PETA's official response is this:
No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal. Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so if that's the look they were going for—they achieved it. Instead of swathing models in meat, we wish they had followed in the footsteps of PETA pinups Pamela Anderson and Alyssa Milano who show off their "natural beauty" in outfits made of lettuce leaves for PETA's "Let Vegetarianism Grow on You" ad campaign.
My official response is this:
(Insert sound of puking here.)
The photos are way too disgusting to post but if you want to see them, click here and have your barf bag ready.

P.S. Any way you look at it, meat is disgusting. So please, don't wear it or eat it.
