Olsen twins get the PETA treatment

PETA has harnessed the power of Web 2.0 for one of its most vicious campaigns yet, with a spoof dress-up game poking fun at 'Trashley' and 'Hairy-Kate' Olsen for their decision to wear fur.

'Dress up the Trollsens is based on he many 'drag and drop' dress up dolls found on the internet, but with a sinister twist: in this version you adorn your chosen twin with 'fatal fashion', consisting of dead dog handbags, bleeding fur coats, choked chinchilla caps and murdered mink miniskirts (nice!). My finished 'Hairy Kate' doll is pictured left.

While the twins have been wearing fur for some time without receiving any special treatment from PETA, it seems that the final nail in the coffin came when they chose to include it in their new fashion line The Row ("Death Row, more like" as PETA's website put it). While I don't approve of all PETA's tactics (does anyone!?) I have to applaud them for lampooning the Olsens for making such an irresponsible and backward-looking decision in a brand new clothing line that will be the envy of many young women.
