I Am Not Food!

by Muna Noor on Wednesday, 17th March 2010

Yesterday we posted several Tweets online regards the comments by Veterinary Services Department (VSD) deputy director general Dr Ahmad Suhaimi Omar on stray dogs and their suggested consumption by exotic meat eaters to curb overpopulation at pounds. As expected our Tweets prompted a lot of very angry responses. @muffinmctuffin said “that’s just fucking ridiculous!” @absolutelyfuzzy called it “so sick” and @jaclynelisha used some colourful expletives. So we promised to post the deets in full and provide address to where you can send your letters of protest.

Banksy

by Raphael Westwood on Friday, 15th January 2010

Heard of Banksy before? He is a world renown British graffiti artist. He has become a sort of media icon for his artwork which is worth a lot of money though that is not the reason Banksy does his art or why he is famous. The reason why his art is famous is because of its rebelious nature as its mostly if not always about ridiculing about politics, culture and ethics as he finds them hypocritical. [more »]

Ink, Not Mink

by Miranda Yeoh on Saturday, 12th December 2009

Chester Bennington just got a little more appealing today. He came onto the music scene in the beginning of the noughties with band Linkin Park (a minus 1 gold star in my books) and although it was rap rock/nu metal/alternative metal - whatever, Chester really showed he had mad powerful screaming skills. Although (in my opinion) he was in the wrong genre, he deservedly earns 1 gold star for them screams. The past few years though, Chester seems to be looking more and more attractive (+1 gold star) what with tattoos on his body (+1 gold star), his very short but funny cameo appearance on Crank 2 (+1 gold star) and finally now his latest participation in an anti fur ad (+1 gold star). Yes ladies, Chester is stripping down for PETA for their latest ad ‘Ink, Not Mink’. Sexay.

Heatherette Goes Furless For Pammy

by Kevin Yeoh on Thursday, 15th October 2009

We love Pamela Anderson, not for the obvious reasons (of which there are 2) but for what lays underneath - her kind heart. Pammy, already an avowed PETA campaigner and the world’s sexiest vegetarian recently debuted her eco- and animal-friendly clothing collection called A*Muse in September. Collaborating with the fabulous Richie Rich of Heatherette, he calls it “fun, sexy, surfer girl from Malibu meets Andy Warhol.” Wooo! [more »]
