I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here (yes, I’ve been watching trash) makes fools out of D-list celebrities living in the jungle. But the show already has an added bonus: making a fool out of Deceiver Madness Champion PETA!
Basketball star (like a million freaking years ago) and PETA activist John Salley professed his commitment to veganism even before entering the jungle.
Yeah, I’m a Vegan and part of what I do is promote lifestyles, healthy lifestyles…the best thing about this is they’re going to put me in a jungle around a lot of green foliage and I can show you what the raw diet will do for your body.
Nice sentiment, Mr. Salley. Eating jungle leaves sounds delicious.
During the first food challenge contestants were forced to eat weird jungle-ish things (not foliage). Salley won both rounds for the boys team by eating a rat’s tail (mmm chewy) and three scorpions (spicy?).
In his PETA “Veggie Testimonial,” he touts that being a vegetarian is:
“the best damn way to eat – period”
Last I checked rats and scorpions were animals too (and they definitely have feelings). Don’t worry, John. By the end of this show (that’s on for somewhere around 100 hours a week) no one will remember that you were a vegan. PETA already forgot.

Yuck. If the guy’s going to make a complete hypocrite out of himself like this, at least he ought to go for something delicious like a giant steak. Scorpions and a rat’s tail hardly seem worth it.
What charity is this guy competing for again?
C’mon, people. The rat clearly lost the tail in a tragic accident and donated it to him to give him strength to win.
The scorpions?
Uh, well, it’s their version of assisted suicide.
Neeevverrr heard of him. Sorry!?!
Never heard of him either….OTOH…there WAS once a girl on Survivor that refused to eat something in one of the challenges because it was mammal related. I forget her name, but atleast SHE stuck to her misguided PETA principals.
Let’s all remember why PeTA exist; to save the CUTE animals. Scorpions are not on the list.
Uh, yes Alex. I’ll take Former Detroit Pistons Whose Entire Acting Careers Are Comprised of “Tall Black Man #2″ Roles for $600, please.
i haven’t watched the show nor do i plan to.. those z listers should be peeved they were asked to be on it in the first place. that just confirms you’re a nobody!
Scorpion’s actually quite tasty when sauteed in butter with a little chili powder.
It ranks right up there with deep-fried tarantulas.
