Michael Vick in Talks to Become PETA Spokesman - Advertising Age - News


Looks like prisons do reform!

I see no good can come from this.

Irony has died once again. This isn't as good as when Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize though.

[Ramor]

Fuck yeah PETA, hopefully they make this happen.

Vick will do to PETA what Palin would have done to the GOP if she was elected.

Mr. Vick is due to be released from federal prison on May 20 and will serve the remaining two months of his 23-month sentence under home confinement near Hampton, Va., where he will be working a 40-hour-a-week construction job.

If Mr. Vick is suspended for the 2009 season, his options include the Canadian Football League and the upstart United Football League. But even if Mr. Goodell reinstates Mr. Vick for the 2009 NFL season -- and at age 29 he does have several productive years left if he stayed in shape while in prison -- it remains to be seen which team would take a chance on the quarterback. "There is a risk, yes, but professional sports has shown over and over that they are willing to take that chance even on the biggest risks, and they don't seem to wait long, either," Mr. Kerr said.

LOL

How long until Vick "I'd rather go naked..." photoshops start hitting the web?

[Kurokikaze]

ROFL That just made my day.

[Tomk]

This is the only way that he could ever be seen in public again. Smart move Mike.

[archibaldcrane]

The funny thing is I'm sure he'll go out for a big steak dinner right after the PSA shoot.

[Correction]

PETA kills animals. Vick killed animals. Match made in heaven.

[_chuchu]

Vick has to be the best troll ever

[Flattus]

April fools already happened.

[archibaldcrane]

Haha, actually looks like PETA trolled Michael Vick. I think they floated this fake "offer" just so they could get more media time shitting on him.

PETA denies that it plans to do ads with Vick - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said it withdrew any offer about doing the ads after a U.S. Department of Agriculture report on Vick’s dogfighting operation found “he enjoyed placing family pets in the ring with fighting pit bulls and that he laughed as dogs ripped each other apart,” according to Dan Shannon, the group’s assistant director of youth outreach and campaigns.

I'm sure they had no intention of actually having him do any campaign - they just publicity stunt themselves like this so they don't have to spend money.

[Neosutra]

That's like me becoming the anti-rape spokesman.
