Amanda Beard Hates All Those Pesky Clothes

Yesterday Spencer made a new rule: We aren’t allowed to blog about women anymore. Well, rules are made to be broken. But this is totally in the interest of “news” and has nothing at all to do with the fact that Amanda Beard is about to get naked, again: ↵↵⇥Olympic swimming champion Amanda Beard, who appeared in Playboy magazine in 2007, is to appear naked in an advertising campaign protesting against fashion furs that will be launched at the Beijing Olympics on Wednesday.↵⇥↵⇥The campaign is on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which said the “sultry” U.S. swimmer would attend the launch, that features photos of her, in front of the Water Cube swimming venue, two days before the Games open.↵⇥

↵⇥↵⇥“Seeing animals slaughtered to be worn as fashion is awful to me, so I’m definitely against wearing fur ... I’d much rather go naked than ever put a dead animal on my body,” PETA quoted Beard as saying.↵⇥

↵↵So, instead of actually waiting until she is faced with the difficult decision of wearing a “dead animal” vs. going nude, Amanda’s decided to just preemptively take her clothes off. Well played, Ms. Beard. Although, to be fair, I think most fur lovers would rather be naked than be forced to wear a dead animal carcass as well.
