NIA LONG DECLARES, “I’D RATHER GO NAKED THAN WEAR FUR” IN NEW PETA AD
Tuesday, August 11, 2009

Actress Nia Long has teamed up with PETA to encourage people to be comfortable in their own skin and to let animals keep theirs by baring it all in a revealing new ad.
Nia believes that “all things that have been given life deserve to live life.”
In related news, Nia Long will be voicing one of the characters in the upcoming Family Guy spin-off ‘The Cleveland Show’, set to air on FOX next month.

They are yearning for attention. That’s why only people who are clearly fading do things like this.

ok, what is going on?
why are all the girls, posing nude or semi-nude on cover, from this one, to hajija to keri(although keri’s own is small compared to these two)
and Nia, i see you are DEPERATE for limelight.
Why don’t you leave the modelling to models and stick with acting, STOP being a hypocrite.
leave the modelling to models. then singers would leave the acting to actors.

@2, yeah it does look cartoonish. You can tell that pole wasn’t even there. Anybody that thinks she really had that pole there needs meds quick. I could have done a better job with the photoshop. Damn, SMMFH!!!!!!

i agree with you all that the photoshoping on this ad is bad. I could have did a better job than that. But at least she had good intentions with the ad..but you need to fire your retoucher asap

She shouldn’t have done this, just to be on top of the Hollywood scene. She’s not even all that pretty, just a regular looking chick!
If she was comfortable in her own skin, she wouldn’t have allowed them to airbrush her!
Such Hypocrites! She’s not even going by the message that the ad is saying!

The pictures look so fake… Can we fire whoever was in charge of the editing/airbrushing etc…
I believe that God gave man dominion over all animals and if it weren’t for the fur off the animals my people would have frozen way back in the day… lol… So PETA people you can wear whatever you want and so will I…

if you want to wear fur- then wear fur. It actually looks really good sometimes, but i just think it’s absolutely gross that people wear dead animal fur….GROSS!!!! At least leather doesn’t look like it’s been cut straight off a dead carcass. To each his own though.

i am from PETP (people for the ethical treatment of plants) and i am here to say:
STOP KILLING PLANTS FOR FOOD, BOOKS AND CLOTHES, THEY GIVE US OXYGEN, THEY ARE AT LEAST BETTER THAN ANIMALS THAT RELEASE HARMFUL GAS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE AND SUCK UP THE OXYGEN THEY PROVIDE.
we are also looking for people to pose painted in green, please contact http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plants if you are interested.

Lol, whoever photoshopped this should be fired.
Horrible job - looks so fake.
Don’t care much for the cause but people who say she should “stay in her own lane” like Nia said other people should do - it’s not like she’s modelling designer clothes, or holding a designer bag, she’s supporting a cause. Posing in a picture that is supporting a cause is much different than modelling clothes, etc - you guys should know that!

Zan Man I see what you’re saying. I don’t hear PETA attacking people for eating meat! PETA gets on my damn nerves and are nothing but a bunch of perverts! Seriously, I hate it when people’s morally wrong doing is over looked when it comes to charity. Like, I’ve heard of girls washing cars topless for money to give to charity. Degrading yourself for money to give to the “poor” is called dirty money and the less fortunante or charitable ones should know better than to take dirty money. So is it okay for a drug dealer, who sells cracks and has people die from it, to donate money to charity and for them to accept it? Why can’t these women wear a pair of jeans and a cute top? Plus, this cause if something that we shouldn’t even be worrying about compared to worse things out there. How about they worry about the hungry and the poor, hell even the damn child molestors surrounding our innocent young children! Nia long is a hypercrite and I never really cared for her. Being comfortable in your own skin… yea right? Anyonw who poses naked expects attention and praise. How pathetic.

They airbrushed the hell out of her because her body doesn’t look like that. She doesn’t look fat or anything in real life but she looks toooooooo slim. what happen to the curves I know she has. She looks like a stick.

This was poorly done. She does not need that much airbrushing if any. She is a gorgeous women. Whomever did this job needs to be fired. As my MOM says there are people who are in jobs that they should not be in
AND
For the comment left by Jokes at # 10 and Tiff.Will. [CL's BEYSTAN] at # 20. Shut the FUCK up with your foolishness. Have you never heard of PETA????? The whole purpose of their campagin is WHAT…………… to have an ad with where no one has any clothes on hence their slogan. And you come with your shit about she is doing this for attention. Talk what you know.

——PETA, like most activist groups, is a front for the elite. It is a subliminal way to
——encourage the worship of animals and nature. Nia Long is just another idiotic
——negro hoping to get in the good graces of the so-called ‘conservationist, liberal”
——element in Hollywood. Forty years old, posing like a damn whore lol.

Why are people so freaked out by nudity. Shoot, I would walk around times square naked too if I could. What is so wrong with nudity, why do people act like your ruining the world if they see someone naked. This country has some of the most biggest hyprocrites I have ever seen. Too be honest I really think the only people offended by nudity are insecure women. Nia is still a classy woman, nude or clothed.
But PETA can kiss my ass. Wait til winter comes, Im wipping out the flyest fur coat New York has ever seen. And Im going to strut down the street in my fly ass fur coat all the while eating a bucket of Fried Chicken.
