Why do all Peta-actions involve naked people? I thought it was an animal-welfare organization, not a pro-nudist organization.

When I looked at those pictures the first thing came into my mind that ´omg poor bears´ not ´omg look at her boobs´ 
Buzz word in that news is ´the bears´

I think PETA is one of those organizations that pretty people join so that they can get attention and feel important. I guess if some animals are saved in the interim, then maybe it isn´t all bad. But in the long run, exploiting women to save animals is counterproductive.

Well, I started to think "why is her outfit so weird" and then I noticed that her outfit was paint! She could have worn clothes as well. I guess it´s linked to the other thread, sex sells. Google peta, and press images. You´ll get a playboy-like collections of pictures.

ISTANBUL — Hürriyet Daily News
Five decades after the first coup swept through Turkey, an organization is seeking to erect a museum to honor democracy, commemorate those we lost and help ensure the country never forgets about Yassıada Island, where the junta trials took place. ‘I want people to bury the mentality of the time and plant seeds of peace and love,’ says a former political leader

The small, abandoned, beautifully gloomy Yassıada might be a physical manifestation of the history of the military’s dominance in Turkey, but 50 years after the 1960 coup the island is home to no more than political ghosts.
Forgotten by most people for 364 days a year, the island has become the focus of efforts by an NGO seeking to change its name to Democracy Island and build a democracy museum to serve for future generations. coup, May 27, 1960

Wow..
50 years!!
People in Turkey are still debating if it was a revolution or just a simple an army coup..
27 May 1960 was the date when the army intervened into politics for the first time.. And of course, later on, they kept messing around.. They still do!!

I thought it was a military intervention that created the Republic in the first place.

Young boy is caught falling from an escalator in Istanbul shopping mall - the daft little buggar was riding up the side when a sharp eyed customer saw him and caught him as he fell when he reached the top!
