Not only is Christina beautiful but the ad itself is very beautiful as well. Applause to Christina and everyone who worked behind the scenes on this creation.

Ummm, this is a couple of years old. I saw in on IMDb and I was thinking "This isn't new, I saw this ages ago!"

"Hmmm... I'm not too sure about this one, the anti-fur ads only work when they're really graphic."

This ad isn't new, but I'm glad PETA is re-releasing it because of Christina Applegate's new show! :)

i hate the 'unless its fake' blurb.

1.) fake fur still glamorizes fur

2.) "It's fake!" is a favorite line to give animal advocates.

BE CAREFUL BUYING YOUR DOG OR CAT A TOY; IF IT FEELS LIKE FUR, THEN IT IS!

Are those real mirabou feathers on the cuff of her gloves? It really looks like it. If it is fake, it was probably a bad choice for this ad since mirabou feathers are used so much in seasonal accessories and could easily be mistaken for real feathers. Still a good idea and message, poor execution.

I have some issues with fake fur, just as I do with fake tofu turkey and beef because it implies that we MISS such items so much that we have to have substitutes.
Fake fur still makes fur look like a desirable thing. Fake turkey doesn't taste anywhere near as good as REAL veggie casseroles can taste. Really excellent vegetarian/vegan cooking is an art form in itself and the food is fantastic and every bit as "gourmet" as the choice items touted by meat-eaters.
Still, when all is said and done, I clap when people buy fake fur or eat fake turkey because it does spare the real animals. So, kudos to Christina!

I agree with Susannah but I don't think that eating fake meats means that I miss the real meat.

For example. When I was a meat eater and I would cook ground meat, I never liked the smell of plain ground meat cooking. It always had a nasty meat odor. What did I do? I seasoned it. I used onions, peppers, garlic to mask that plain meat taste and instead taste the seasonings. I think that sometimes people may miss the textures because very few people actually eat just plain meat. Its disgusting.

When I smell a meat that smells good, I know it is not the meat that smells good, it's the actual seasonings. You can imitate that with or without the fake meats and there is nothing wrong with that.

And for those that miss meat and eat fake meats, good for you because it shows that there are kinder, tastier, and healthier replacements.

Same argument can be made for substitute sugars and salt. If you want sugar free desserts why do you use artificial sweetners?

And yes, vegan food can be an art form, with or without the fake meats.
