Here’s some of the message he just posted on his blog on getting even more PETA and going vegan:

My friends at PETA asked me to post their new commercial featuring Pam Anderson and myself. The fact that it has been banned (for graphic nudity) has led to massive amounts of publicity surrounding it. I don’t think it was by mistake that PETA included enough nudity to get it banned. Actually, I believe more people know about it than would’ve had it aired on television- and I don’t think it was ever intended to air on television in the first place. I applaud PETA for using PR dollars extremely effectively during these rough economic times.

When I first became involved with PETA, it was on an “issue-by-issue” basis- they interviewed me in my old apartment about animal abuse in the circus as I sat on a leather sofa. At that time I was a meat-eater, and told them I believe that if anyone is going to wear the flesh or fur of an animal, they should at least have the decency to eat the meat of that animal. That comment led to my involvement in PETA’s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign. The following year I chose to stop eating meat (and stop wearing or purchasing anything made out of leather), however, citing reports that Jesus Christ fed lots of people with fish, I continued to eat fish. Most recently, for just over a month now, I’ve kept to a strictly vegan diet and I’ve not felt “hard-done-by” at all. I have been really enjoying making a project out of seeking out an extremely healthy diet of raw, organic, vegan foods- and I plan on continuing to do so.  Hey can I get a hit of that?
