Kanye West is Not Tested on Animals
Tuesday, 12 August 2008
Finally! Another celebrity endorsing not testing on animals! (This makes two! Along with James Cromwell!) Kanye West is doing some sort of advertising for Absolut Vodka in which the logo “not tested on animals” is prominently displayed. I saw news of this at Ecorazzi and was just delighted. I think this is especially nice because I am totally on-board any the pro-Absolut-advertising-campaign — I really liked their back-of-magazines classic advertising gimmicks (um, hi blogger who wrote a great post on why you like Absolut ads! I’m with you.) — no other alcoholic company has come close in making such iconic ads.

your ecorazzi link goes to a spyware site…
anyhow, is there any real meaning to that ad? i think it looks more like a joke because of its non sequitur/absurd nature. i am pretty sure kanye isnt purposely an advocate for anything like that.

Whoops! Thanks for telling me, I’ll go fix it.
Yeah, I can definitely see your point — “Be Kanye” is not a real product, and it is really absurd. Kanye West is definitely not a high-calibre cruelty-free advocate like James Cromwell. But it’s nice to get some cruelty-free recognition, no matter how poor it may be . . .

Yeah I agree. It’s better than nothing.

That’s cool. I am not that familiar with Kanye West, but I’m sure that his example will be a good one for others.
No. 8 — August 15th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Oh, yeah I just saw the comment where someone else said that he still wears furs.
Ugh.
