Well, I can’t just stare at that picture all day. I have to explain it, especially since it’s from PETA and is therefore moronic.
See, Joanna Krupa is, like, an angel and stuff? An angel for animals? And so she floats above doggies and protects them from bad people? While holding a crucifix in front of her naughty parts? So that means you should adopt a dog. The End.
This might be a good place to remind you that a few years ago, some wonderful PETA people rounded up dogs and cats from animal shelters — you know, like the animal shelters being promoted in this ad — with the promise that they were going to find the pooches and kitty-cats new homes. Those same wonderful PETA people then killed those dogs and cats in their van. Then, when the dead animals started to smell worse than their killers, they were discarded in a dumpster behind a Piggly Wiggly grocery store. Somehow, those wonderful PETA people were only found guilty of littering. I guess the court agreed with them that animals are just trash.
Presumably Joanna Krupa’s PETA handlers haven’t told her about all that, so maybe somebody should break it to her. I seem to have misplaced my English-to-Angelspeak dictionary.
Oh yeah, and they’ve offended the Catholic League. Now, it’s the Catholic League’s job to be offended by things that offend the Catholic League, but I can’t say I disagree with Bill Donohue’s statement on the matter:
It would be hard to find an organization in the U.S. which treats animals more unethically than People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). In 2008, as demonstrated by the Center for Consumer Freedom, PETA killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets in its care. Indeed, it killed an average of 6 pets a day last year at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters, placing only seven in adoptive homes. Between 1998 and 2008, it killed a total of 21,339 cats and dogs. To top it off, despite a budget of $32 million, PETA does not operate an adoption shelter.
Now the animal killers have launched a Christmas campaign that exploits Christian symbols. It features Playboy queen Joanna Krupa: before Thanksgiving it showed a side angle of her naked from the waist up holding a dog and a rosary; she is adorned with angel wings and a halo. The inscription below reads, “Be an Angel for Animals: ALWAYS ADOPT. NEVER BUY.”
Today PETA bares Krupa on a Los Angeles billboard. According to Hollywood.com, she appears “as a winged angel, covered by a carefully-placed crucifix.” Once again, the target is pet stores.
The fact is that cats and dogs are a lot safer in pet stores than they are in the hands of PETA employees. Moreover, pet stores don’t rip off Christian iconography and engage in cheap irreligious scams.PETA is a fraud. It also has a long and disgraceful record of exploiting Christian and Jewish themes to hawk its ugly services. Those who support this organization sorely need a reality check. They also need a course in Ethics 101.
Notice Donohue doesn’t condemn Krupa’s nudity itself, which shows that he’s not that old. But yeah, it’s a cheap shock tactic. What sort of people would use JOANNA KRUPA NAKED to try to get attention? I tell you what, if I see JOANNA KRUPA NAKED one more time, I’m going to be very upset about JOANNA KRUPA being NAKED. You hear me, JOANNA KRUPA NAKED?
I leave you with Krupa’s heavenly response:
It’s understandable that the Catholic League is wary of another sex scandal, but the sex we’re talking about pertains to dogs and cats.
How you doin’? Woof woof! Meow!
Update: Almost forgot, PETA is also condemning the University of Utah for using dogs and cats from animal shelters in medical experiments. So: Killing animals is okay, unless you’re doing it to help humans.

I’m not sure who Bill Donahue is, but he’s awesome. I like it when Peta uses naked chicks for their ad campaigns, it’s a good source of accidental (almost) porn. And I don’t think Peta gets any money from the regular working american folk, it’s just a bunch of dumbass celebs that shovel them their millions.
That being said, one of my least favorite Peta ads is showing pictures of starving holocaust victims juxtaposed with starving cattle. Makes me want to firebomb.
Im confused by Joanna’s response. Is she the one supposed to be having sex with dogs and cats? and shes stepping on that chow’s head, I think.
I wonder about the theory behind “never buy”. Everyone knows not to buy from the petstore in the mall, but is it really better for animals to put legitimate breeders out of business?
I hear Hell has just opened its PETA Wing. Good thing Joanna here is naked because it’s going to be awfully toasty where she’s going.
Did she READ the Catholic League statement? They don’t even mention sexuality, they’re objecting to the use of religious symbols. Proof that it’s not just her body that is plastic/silicon, apparently her brain cells are too.
Girl has an uber long torso. Or short legs. One of the two.
Yay, Catholic League! I love that they didn’t even have to make an argument, PETA gives all the rope needed for hanging.
“Well, I can’t just stare at that picture all day.”
See, this is where you lose me. If you just stared at the picture, you’d have a much better day.
Mister Stinktch, they take seeing eyes dogs away from people while making lots of hypocritical money, how would that make your day? Maybe we shud make pets .. people .. that way at least the use of their images will be protected.
LOL, when I saw the picture even before I read the article I thought, geez, I hope that Bill Donahue of the Catholic League sees this. Real nice Christmas image, @ssholes. PETA that is, not Deceiver of course. Just when you think thay’ve gone as far as they can go ethically, they out-do themselves yet again.
Would PETA do an ad that offended Muslims?
Rocky I’m sure they would try if it gave them attention. Probably something talking about not eating pork but claiming eating beef or poultry is terrorism. Now I have a taste for some sea kittens and chips
Somehow I don’t see PETA using crescents to block the naughty parts with a tagline exhorting people to wage jihad against fur-wearers.
Though pitting one terrorist group against another does have a certain perverse humor to it.
Okay. So PeTA wants you to adopt pets from a shelter, and – if you squint you can read it – “always give your animal companions the love and care that they deserve”.
But doesn’t that go against their whole creed of “animals shouldn’t be pets”?
And…no cats in the picture?
Love and attention is code for “euthanize in the back of a van after leaving the shelter”.
Maybe Krupa’s allergic to cats. Can’t have a visible rash in the picture, who knows what people will think it is.
I just reread my earlier comment and want to clarify that I did not mean that Muslims are a terrorist group. I was referring to Islamist groups that practice a twisted “jihad”. I sincerely hope that I didn’t inadvertently offend anyone with my ill-worded comment, and apologize if I did. I’m not trying to pull a PETA!
Hmmm…all that cross does for me is make her boobs look even more fake…go figure.
Yeah, once AGAIN, it’s time to issue the challenge that we all know will be ignored by these pu**ies, but which needs to be issued anyway. If PETA really cared–and obviously they DON’T, but still–about animals, or animal rights, they’d go after biker gangs, S&M fetishists, and Muslims.
But they don’t, so they won’t.
Wow, airbrush much? I watched “Dancing with the Stars” this season and that photo is as fake as PETA intentions and her boobs.
“Would PETA do an ad that offended Muslims?”
No, Muslims aren’t afraid to blow up their headquarters (no offense to all the non-radical Muslims). They can offend Christians because Christians are pacifists and only use words to hurt, not bombs.
I’m okay with the proportion of leg to torso. Her knees are approaching the viewer’s plane which will foreshorten the thigh.
Her goose neck gives me the jeebies and I would expect her to be sportin’ more areolae.
Joanna is quite a lucky lady though. She owns 18 dogs, all with the same hat size. That’ll make Christmas shopping ever so much easier.
I hate PETA. I really do.
And on the topic of hypocritical animal rights organizations, the man who heads the Humane Society of Toronto just got arrested for animal cruelty.
Link here:

Y’know, this is a separate topic, but I’m getting sick of prefacing EVERY FARGIN’ THING with something meant to appease non-bombing Muslims. If they don’t want to be offended by association with the incendiary kind, maybe they should self-police a little better, or AT LEAST get as offended by the vicious attacks their coreligionists carry out, as they claim to be by any perceived slight in their general direction. Protect your brand, or get happy about it, y’all.
Did they use feathers to make those angel wings?
GadZOOKS, marybeth, you’re right. Were those feathers voluntarily donated to The Cause by disgruntled swans, or something? Or were the swans killed FOR The Cause? Or are they goose feathers?
If there are actual angels flapping about somewhere, I totally wouldn’t put it past PETA to rip the wings off one.
uberdeft, I still insist looking at the picture makes for a much better experience than reading Peta’s text.
Which leads me to wonder, Beige- how many PeTA nudes can dance on their pinhead?
She’s standing on a couple of poor dogs’ heads.
Maybe they pulled a Cruella DeVille and found a bunch of white puppies to skin and make into angel wings….or even better, baby seals.
I agree that the appearance that she’s standing on the dogs’ heads is too distracting to pay attention to the rest of it… but I’m a woman. Other than that, I couldn’t agree with Bill Donohue more.
“And…no cats in the picture?”
Must. . .not. . .tell. . dirty. . joke. . .
Hee hee, Catharine.
When and if we ever get a dog, we’re going to a reputable, AKC-registered breeder. The idea of getting a shelter dog sounds good at first, until you realize that if everyone got a shelter dog, it would drive up demand for them and further discourage people from doing the right thing and neutering their pets because “we can just give the puppies to a shelter.”
who is this chick anyway? and way to keep it classy PETA.
and flirt – i heard about that, but thanks for the link. i got to read more on the story and i hope all those people are convicted. those pictures made me tear up.
Ah, PETA, keep on doing what you do. Seriously, when are these folks going to go away?! Probably never as they have a steady supply of recruits at colleges and wanna-be stars to pose in their ads.
And like others have stated, what’s up with the cats? and don’t many of those dogs in the ad look like pure breeds? Also, are those real chicken bird feathers for angel wings or just real angel wings?
Peta is a total sham. These photos are porn to raise money for their sham animal protection program. They have been arrested for killing animals and throwing them in a dumpster. A poster above left the link.
If you love animals then ((please support your local no kill shelters)). They are the ones feeding and getting homeless animals adopted. If you can’t afford to send money they are always looking for donations of old blankets for the crates and used pet carriers.
Send this srticle to your friends to put the spotlight on the sham PETA is.
I would so hit it…
