Click to enlarge imageWashington D.C. (The Weekly Vice) - PETA and Playboy passed out veggie dogs on Capitol Hill last Wednesday in an attempt to counter National Hot Dog Day and spread the word about vegetarianism.
Lettuce-clad Playmates, Jayde Nicole and Joe Garcia, passed out the dogs to politicos, interns and anyone who wanted to give them a try. At one point the line of people awaiting a dog (and a peek) wrapped around the Rayburn office building, where the event was held. On one occasion, an intern attempted to ask Nicole on a date, but was politely declined.
When asked if Obama should become a vegetarian, Nicole responded “Yeah, for sure. He’s already pretty happy and friendly, so I think he’d be extra happy and friendly if he became a vegetarian.”
When asked if she was a fan of Congressman Dennis Kucinich, a professed vegetarian, she said, “I am now.”
“The best way to safeguard your health, reduce your carbon footprint, save animals’ lives, and look your very best is to go vegetarian,” said Nicole.
The partnership between PETA and Playboy is now an annual event, according to event organizers. Last year’s event, which featured Playmates Laura Guthridge and Lauren Anderson, was cut short when it began to rain.
‘When people taste a veggie dog and find that it has the texture and flavor of a hot dog, but it's not made of [animal] anuses and God knows what else, they can see it's just as easy to pick up a pack of veggie dogs at the store,’ said Nicole Matthews, the lead organizer in D.C.

If god didn't want us to eat animals he wouldn't have made them out of meat!
I didn't just go through 13 billion years of evolution,fight and struggle to get on top of the food chain, to become a vegetarian!
yeah. I bought Tofu dogs once. They were disgusting, so I feed the rest to my crawdads living in my pond. They will eat anthing, but once the got a taste of the tofu dog, they rejected it. So why the hell was I trying to eat it?
Ida, word.
If god didnt want us to eat animals, he wouldnt make them so tasty....
If we dont eat animals, how do you expect to get their power?
There's something more than a little backwards about a girl in lettuce leafs handing me a wiener.
Seems it should be the other way around.
That was bad Phantom. lol.
Actually, this is one of PETA's better, more reasonable little protests. Although I'm not a vegetarian, I have friends that are, and not because of any animal rights issue.
....i still want some pork ribs with aide order of "dirty" rice
Considering the placement of those message-buttons, I first thought they said "Go Vag" but that would be quite a different gay-cures rally I suppose.
This will likely be the only time I'll ever see a Republican chic and a Playboy Bunny holding the same wiener at the same time.
This site is forever breaking new ground.
I'm ashamed. I had to go look up her pics....lettuce leafs excluded.
But I simply refuse to eat a veggie dog. They are yellow for God's sake!
WANT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILI!
For every animal they don't eat I'm gonna eat 3.
Are the means always justified by the ends? I'm not sure.
On the one hand, if just one more person stops eating meat it's a victory.
Yet, while meat eating is itself very sexual and political, this campaign is shifting the substantial discussion ground.
