Playgirl Makes Michael Vick An Indecent Proposal

Surveys show women less likely to forgive Michael Vick for his dog-fighting transgressions than men, whose outrage can be tempered by appreciation of his contributions on the football field. But Playgirl thinks there are enough ladies out there willing to not let animosity generated by animal cruelty get in the way of gawking at his physical form. Enough so that the magazine is willing to offer Vick a hefty PETA donation in his name for appearing in the altogether in their publication.↵↵⇥The embattled American footballer, arrested for animal abuse and dogfighting promotion in 2007, has been invited to pose for Playgirl in return for a $1 million donation to animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.↵⇥↵⇥A spokesman for Playgirl confirms to Life & Style magazine, “I sent the request to Michael Vick on Wednesday, but we haven’t heard back yet.↵⇥

↵⇥↵⇥“I figured he paid back society for dog fighting, but what about the animals? This way he could donate a large sum to PETA and all he’d have to do is pose for the magazine! It’s kind of a win-win situation!”↵⇥

↵↵↵That’s an appropriately sleazy way to go about getting someone to pose for you. Find a public figure who has done wrong, then in an attempt to make them do something you want offer to make a monetary donation to a charity associated with their crime . If the disgraced celebrity refuses, you’re free to chide them for not being sufficiently penitent about their wrongdoing. I suppose that is a win-win.↵
