White House pissed off with use of Michelle Obama’s pic!

Is the US First Family too soft, too kind or just very likable? The last time it was Michelle Obama caricatured into an ape that became an internet hit and now the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has used Michelle Obama’s image without the consent of the First Family.

Endangered Apes are definitely part of the PETA family (pun not intended).

In the ad, Michelle Obama is pictured standing alongside Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks, and Carrie Underwood under the slogan "Fur-free and fabulous!" The ads, which PETA says features "a bevy of the smartest, most stylish, and most influential women in America," are being plastered all over the Washington D.C. Metro mass transit system, in addition to appearing in various magazines and websites.

Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks and Carrie Underwood have openly endorsed PETA’s anti-fur efforts before but Michelle Obama cannot endorse special interest group such as PETA. The White House is not amused about this.

A White House spokeswoman declared that they didn’t consent to the use of the image but PETA is adamant. PETA says that they will not take down the ads and maintains that Michelle Obama's past anti-fur declarations essentially give them license to use her image in a campaign.

The First Family has been used in various campaigns for non-profit before. Sasha and Malia dolls and Michelle Obama dolls have once appeared.

PETA had better used animals in their campaigns to show us the fabulous side of animals but it seems they too want to capitalize on the star power of Michelle Obama. Though I don’t find Michelle Obama stunning, it seems being a member of the US First Family can sell anything.

Soon, expect Michelle Obama in porn sites because definitely Michelle Obama and Barrack Obama have something going in the White House. Whatever the crazies can conjure up will surely hit in cyberspace.

Think it is time Michelle Obama and the White House act tough in protecting their image. A suit is in order or what do you think?
