Which, to me, is an epic fail since I actually wish those products were real.

It looks like PETA would do things that would draw people to their cause, rather than doing weird stunts or throwing paint and glitter on people. I'm sure the pointless human skin store will serve to further alienate people.

Back in the late '70s I think it was Harvard Lampoon that had a fashion spread of similar items but only of manskin for women - something to do with feminism.

You wouldn't want to step in cold water, would you?

PETA takes in animals and then kills them because they think cats and dogs shouldn’t be pets.
