February 9, 2006: Happy Valentine's Day from the Vines

Brooklyn Girl · Last edited by Brooklyn Girl on Fri Feb 10, 2006 7:12 pm; edited 1 time in total

The Vines have joined forces with bands Franz Ferdinand, The Magic Numbers and The Subways to help animal rights organization, PETA, in their 'Have A Heart for Animals' Valentines campaign.

The Vines signed and designed a special animal Valentine's Day card (see below). I'm betting the lion was drawn by Craig as you can see this lion's mane covers one eye. Tongue

The card will be up for auction soon but the NME made the announcement a bit too early and left out information on how to bid. As an apology PETA will make the card into an e-card for all fans to send and enjoy.

Handmade Valentine Cards From Your Favorite Musicians

Vines e-cards will be up soon.

Angela Modzelewski of PETA said "Thanks so much for helping us promote this. It’s going to go out to our 385,000 e-news subscribers on Tuesday, and we’re going to get our 130,000 street team members to help us post it on livejournal and fan sites."

So if you'd like to help out PETA spread the good word, post this announcement on the sites you visit.

We'll get the link to the e-card when it goes live tomorrow. It might be in the late afternoon or early evening.

Thanks all!

My favourite part of that is the eyelashes and bow on the camel. :lol: And, of course, the lion's hairstyle. Craig

I think the lion will haunt my dreams. It reminds me of those creepy puppets from the Labyrinth or from the Dark Crystal. I'm sorry, but it does.

Why is the lion surrounded by pubes ?

"Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, and we know that many of you are filled with disgust. But this year, you don't have to feel sorry for yourself, because we have a little treat for you that we hope will make you realize that there are more important issues than being lonely on what is, frankly, a ridiculous holiday. "

I'm sensing some resentment on the part of PETA....

This just in...if you send the e-card to an aol address, this is how it looks

I alerted PETA yesterday and was told, "I just called our IT department about the problem. They said that they’re aware of the problem, and that it’s system wide. All of PETA’s e-cards are appearing that way to the recipients for some reason. They hope to have the problem fixed on Monday. So sorry!!!!"

I sent the card and it appears it may just be an AOL thing as not all recipients got half an image. So hopefully this will be resolved before V day.

Also the auction will be postponed until after Valentine's day but we'll be alerted prior to it going up for bid.

um... PETA?

Craig an avid meat eater (mcdonalds???) am I the only that thinks it's a bit odd?

and PETA are crazy when it comes to meat, a very violent organization.

Vinelle · Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2006 5:58 am Post subject:

tyler · Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2006 12:10 pm Post subject:

surely its fine to eat meat and be against cruelty to animals. Just because you eat beef doesn't mean you want the monkeys to die. Conversely; I don't think just because you are against cruelty to animals doesn't mean you should be a veggie.

They give vegetarians a bad name. I don't throw blood on people (I only scoff at them indignantly)...why won't they listen?

i think a PETA rep needs to come on this forum and defend themself because this is getting serious. I would research and spew out some facts but I can't be bothered.

The reason I'm not a vegetarian is that cows are wankers. They always look like they're planning something.

They should be planning something...all the hormones injected into them just so their udders can swell up and get infected, be killed by 6 cos they can't give any more milk (when they used to until they were 20)...and have their babies tied up by the neck so they can't move ever. I would be miffy too. Shit I'm sounding like one of them...I swear it's just rhetoric from Fast Food Nation and The Corporation (bloody interesting movie).

See now I would agree with all of that Cassie, although I do eat meat. Filling animals full of drugs/hormones and torturing them isn't needed. And I don't think most smaller family farms tend to do those types of things anyway. It's the big corporate farms that do it (not to say that no small farmers do it, but you know what I mean).

Yeah it was really eye opening finding out just how much big corporations will screw over the animals, environment, and our health to make a profit. I'll never tell anyone to be vegetarian cos that's stupid, just be careful with what you put in your mouth Wink

I actually agree with PETA's statement somewhat. Meat (specifically pork and beef) tends to clog up arteries and intestines causing major health problems and sometimes death. You can also get protein from other sources.

While PETA does promote vegetarianism, I don't see them bombing Burger Kings.

Yeah...that statement got kinda long so I just took Anita's word for it (like I usually do).

Back to the Vines...I personally like the stoned bunny.

I've always wanted to be a vegetarian but I guess I became disillusioned when I saw a video on the environment which said farmers killed thousands of animals every year due to crop rotation. I know it's not as much as they do cows but it all comes down to killing animals. I guess I figured I'd be part of the cause either way so...
