I'm Glad Someone Gets It


Karl Lagerfeld
has swooped in (somewhat like a vampire bat) and cleaned up all the fur controversy for us by pointing out that, if we didn't kill animals first, they would certainly kill us. So that makes it okay to wear their skin as clothing. Lagerfeld also thinks it's "childish" to even have a controversy over fur in a world where people eat meat and wear leather shoes (though he himself doesn't eat meat because, he says, he can't get past the fact that it used to be alive). He also told a radio interviewer - I'm not making this shit up either - that closing down the fur industry would ruin life for the "northern hunters" who haven't learned how to do anything else besides kill animals. And what is Mr. Lagerfeld's position on the Crimean War I wonder? I'm so glad we have people like Lagerfeld to get us back to reality again.
