Macy s has pulled from its shelves and its Web site two styles of Sean John hooded jackets, originally advertised as featuring faux fur, after an investigation by the nation s largest animal protection organization concluded that the garments were actually made from a certain species of dog called raccoon dog.
First these jackets were falsely advertised as faux fur, and then it turned out that the fur came from a type of dog, said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States.
Pacelle added that the issue is an industry-wide problem and its investigation demonstrated that retailers and designers aren t paying close enough attention to the fur trim they are selling.
instead pay for something else, and sneak into Apocalypto . If you must, must, must go see this movie please do, just don t contribute to making a racist more rich than he needs to be. Don t give Mel the satisfaction of making any money off of his work, no matter how fabulous it may look (and it does).
My good friend Carrie came up with the idea that if people must go see this movie, they should just don t give Mel the box office numbers to make it a hit, and also pay and sneak. Pay for Happy Feet , then sneak into Mel s movie. You will get to calm your curiousity and you ll feel better for not helping out old Mel.
I have no doubt it looks good, or that he is a talented director. Famous people shouldn t be able to regain their social and popular images after being openly racist or hateful. This movie could be a masterpiece, but I won t participate in helping a deeply flawed person get more rich.
So let s start a boycott, and not give our dollars to someone who could care less about everyday people and respecting differences! Besides, you ll feel like a kid again when you sneak into the movie.
This is exciting news!
It is widly said that Blanchett was robbed of an Oscar by Gwyneth Paltrow for Shakespeare In Love . The follow-up, The Golden Age, about Queen Elizabeth s reign, all hinged on getting Cate Blanchett back in the corset. She was on the fence until director Shekhar Kapur spun his magic on her!
I just said no to Elizabeth because I thought I ve done it, I don t need to do it again, Blanchett said. But we had one great conversation, he and Geoffrey [Rush] and I when I suddenly saw it as being something about part of the aging process and taking her to a different level. He wanted to make a film about immortality.
So when he talks about it in those broad sweeps, and also a film about holy war, which I thought was very timely.
The idea of a reunion, and adding some new hunks into the mix helped the sales pitch. When he talked about it from that perspective and then he said Clive Owen s going to do it and Geoffrey s going to do it again, I just went, Oh, I m just churlish if I say no to it.
So I couldn t refuse. I love this idea, I was freakin addicted to this show when it was on TV. Check out the story below!
From Moviehole.net: Kerner says he has been researching the popular 80s cartoon extensively.
