If you were passing Barnes & Noble Union Square in NYC today, you likely stopped to see what the heck was going on. The Olsen Twins were promoting their new book Influence, which means, of course, that peta2 was outside the store letting fans of the Trollsen Twins know that the twins still support the cruel fur industry by wearing fur and including it in their clothing line.
With Halloween just around the corner, Street Teamers wore our Hairy-Kate and Trashley” masks and held signs that said, “Hairy Kate and Trashley Olsen: Fur Tramps” and “Trollsens: Fur Hags From Hell.” I wish I could have been there!
Check out some pictures:
What do you think of the demonstration?

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

Of course, if you don’t like it, it must be right.
And lets manipulate the minority of the harm done to animals to make it seem like EVERYONE does it.
Ever thought that you’re pressing your views on everyone else and ignoring what really happens.
Reminds me of Scientology, so what you bringing out as your next lame campaign? “Support floating cow head”?

Nice demo! Very eye-catching!
What sort of response did you get from people and the media? Do you think the Trollsen’s got the message this time?
