PETA Lets the Fur Fly with Olsen Twins Campaign

Apparently, People for the Ethical Treament of Animals won't get off the Olsen twins' backs until the tiny moguls stop covering them with fur.

Mary-Kate and Ashley turn 22 on Friday, but the only gift the animal-rights group wants to give them is humiliation.

PETA, which has long targeted the twins for their fur-wearing ways, is asking visitors to their Meet the Trollsen Twins parody site (in which the duo are referred to as "Hairy-Kate" and "Trashley") to mail the twins their own hair, in hopes that it will convince them to stop wearing fur.

The site lists the address for the Olsens' production company, Dualstar Entertainment, along with the instructions, "Getting a haircut soon or have a lot of extra hair on your brush? Save that hair in a bag and mail it to the twins at the address to the right with a note that says, 'Please, use my hair instead of the animals.' Happy Birthday.' "

Eww, nasty! While this is a cute attention-getting gimmick, no one deserves to receive a bunch of nasty, patchouli-scented hair in the mail. Can't you PETA guys just sit down with the Olsens and settle your differences over a bucket of KFC Extra Crispy?

Besides, if your intention is to bury the little moppets in stray locks, a letter-writing campaign isn't really necessary. Your porn-star spokesman Ron Jeremy probably has enough loose strands in his shower drain to cover them indefinitely.

“Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are celebrating their 22nd birthday this Friday, and PETA has the perfect gift for them. They are asking people to send the Olsens a piece of their hair with the note, "Please, use my hair instead of the animals'. Happy birthday."

Peta, who has devoted an entire website to "The Trollsens" said, "Mary-Kate and Ashley are old enough now to know that fur doesn't grow on trees. We hope that on their birthday, they will take a moment to think about the many animals who won't live to see another birthday thanks to the twins' abominable taste in clothes."

Maybe they will just skin the members of PETA and wear them instead! Would you send them some of your hair?”

“Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are in trouble for dressing like the gazelles and birds they like to impersonate.

The actress twins will celebrate their 22nd birthday on Friday, and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has a special treat for their favorite fur-lovers.

Lots and lots of nasty, possibly lice-infected human hair!

Per the 'Trollsen twin' website PETA created to slander the fur fashionistas:

* 'The twins are still sporting as much fur as ever. Since they seem to be in such dire need of extra hair on their bodies, let’s give them some of ours—and send a strong message while we’re at it….Save that hair in a bag and mail it to the twins with a note that says, “Please, use my hair instead of the animals’. Happy Birthday.” '

Obviously none of this hair will get anywhere near the twins, and their people are probably already screening all their mail with the kind of metal detectors and trained dogs normally used for drug busts.

But that doesn't change the fact that the twins are probably waking up with nightmares about her favorite fur coat leaking blood in the middle of the night...”
