Now that’s what I call a PRotest
Animal rights activist Vanessa Carbone has launched her very own one-woman protest against the Japanese whaling industry by parading the streets outside the nation’s embassy clad only in a tiny g-string.
I’m sure that Vanessa, a former Playboy model, feels very strongly about whaling and the fur industry (she carried a sign which declared “The only skin I wear is my own”) and I am not for one moment casting any aspersions on her motives but, that said, her naked protest represents an inspired PR stunt.
Despite her successful modelling career I had never heard of Vanessa before today and I’m sure I’m not alone in my ignorance. What’s the betting that when she gets home and gets her cardie on the phone will be ringing off the hook with offers for TV appearances and newspaper / magazine interviews? I’d also be willing to bet whaling pressure groups see a surge in membership requests from young men anxious to assist on future protests. Congratulations Ms Carbone on a lovely piece of PR.
