At last night's MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), the red carpet was alive with its usual stylish, unique, and unforgettable entrances.
Some performers arrived making a positive statement, like Paramore, who arrived in earth-friendly Smart Cars. However, rapper T-Pain chose an opposite (aka cruel) route and arrived via elephant. Yes, elephant—all the while donning a ridiculous red top hat and tuxedo jacket and surrounded by a brigade of bizarre circus performers. Hmm … forget a statement for change—that's a statement of cruelty.
Fortunately, Paramore weren't the only artists who created buzz without exploiting animals. Tokio Hotel's monster truck and Young Jeezy's presidential motorcade were other notable choices of transport.
If you're one of the many people who contacted us regarding T-Pain's terrible entrance choice last night, you'll be happy to know that PETA has written a letter to T-Pain explaining why his stunt was (perhaps unintentionally) cruel and asking him to refrain from using animals in his acts in the future.
