Default Beyonce gets pwned

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5090298.stm

Two animal rights campaigners have been ejected from a restaurant in New York after confronting singer Beyonce Knowles about her love of fur coats.

The members of People for the Ethical Treatment Animals secretly won an eBay auction offering dinner with the star.


They spent several minutes asking a stunned Knowles why she wore fur and why it was used by her fashion label.

Knowles remained silent as her mother and sister defended her, before the activists were asked to leave.

A video of the meeting at the upmarket Nobu restaurant was made by the campaigners and obtained by the American website TMZ.com.

During the meal, they also tried to use a portable DVD player to show Knowles footage of animals being killed for their fur.

The opportunity to eat with the singer was offered by the VH1 music channel, as part of an auction which would benefit its Save the Music Foundation.

A spokesman for Knowles said the 24-year-old had no comment to make about the meeting.

Sounds like Beyonce handled it just fine - definitely not owned. PETA, on the other hand, comes off as a bunch of asshats. Which sounds about right.

I hate PETA. They like animals more than people.

Peta is awesome. Any other group that tries to get publicity for their cause is smart enough to come up with a stunt that gets attention maybe once or twice and then everyone stops noticing them. These guys have consistently been generating headlines and discussion for years. They are geniuses. You can tell how effective they are by the fact that whenever they come up in a disussion, meat eaters get super defensive and angry.
EDIT: Looks like that is already happening in this thread.

That's because other groups don't usually go out of their way to offend those who think otherwise. PETA is very self-righteous.
