PETA uses Michelle Obama's picture to push their agenda  

PETA has no shame, I think we all know this. I would think Mrs. Obama would have legal recourse though, I would think at least. Granted, she isn't endorsing this herself, she is being used so she won't suffer any consiquences, other than having her name associated with those loons.

Well it is PETA after all, so not a surprise. They have endangered (and killed) countless animals so this isn't at all a stretch for them.

This is one of the high costs of fame on this level.

The relationship millions have with the Obama's was not and still has not been normal fan-to-star admiration. There's some stalker-like pathology in folks, where they've taken the Obama's and made them their own instead of who they really are -- like perfect little playful pets. And the person or people at PETA responsible for this need their head(s) examined. Maybe try eating some meat.

"You love me, I know it!"

"No. I don't. Seriously."

"But remember that one time you looked at me? I know you felt it!"

"OMG! Are you insane!?"

"PUT THE FU%$ING LOTION IN THE BASKET!"

I think they should be forced to take the ads down. I do not think any special interest groups should be allowed to use any-one's name as an endorsement without specific written permission.

Yes, they should be forced to remove those ads, and they should also be heavily fined as a result of their foolishness.

PETA has a long history of running roughshod over people's rights, and it is time they were shut down for good.

If a special interest group wants to use a person in their ads then they should get a release from that person to use their name. Using the First Lady or the President in an ad should require their permission and approval form the Whit House Legal Dept. A private company used the Presidents photo wearing their jacket in an add and have been asked to remove it and they have complied.

One suggestion would be to revoke PETA's Tax exempt status for violating the rights to privacy of people (by using a person as an endorsement without their permission).

I am not really sure of the legalities, but they should remove her image. She did not agree to it and PETA should be stopped.

Certain special interests and certain activism should be free of any laws or rules.. not! But that does seem to be what some of 'em think!
- To me Jesus' turning over the tables of the moneychangers and saying "you have turned my father's house into a house of merchandise" (and "den of thieves") is a living parable of apocalypse..

I think that they should be forced to take the ads down. First of all I will start by saying that I do not and will not wear fur because I don't agree with it. But, like you've said, it doesn't mean that I agree with the overall radicalness of PETA. The second reason that I think the ads should be taken down is because she is not allowed to endorse special interest groups. Finally, I think that they should be forced to take the ads down is because Michelle Obama didn't agree to let them use her image.
